Comics have a certain charm with them, especially if it tells a good story. Good stories can be adapted to many media. Good stories also draw us into the characters and their situations. We can relate to them.

We can learn from the ways characters fail or succeed in dealing with their circumstances. With the recent release of the classic Watchmen, people can see that comic books can be of great quality and not just some cheap attempt to short tell a good book.

Everyone at one point in their life has probably read a comic book. If not, then one has probably watched a good movie about superheroes like Batman, Spider-man, Superman and the X-men. These movies on their own actually created a fan base which then resulted into comic reading.

People who don’t read comic books have been astounded by such movies and have resulted to reading comic books to further immerse themselves in what they have liked from the movie.

Comic book reading doesn’t have its downs though. With the weekly release of comic books, and an average reader reading about 5 - 30 comic books per week, this will really will have a big impact in your time and budget.

I personally have experienced this as a student who had limited resources. Comic scans back then where no where to be found and I had to buy every comic book I liked. If I don’t do this, I feel like I’m missing something. Even with scans though, you might have saved some money but not time.
