Why I don't read comics (Score 1)

My Mom used to buy me comics as a kid, and I've read some of the modern Neil Gaiman comics, but they never caught my interest.

Why? Because I'm a reader.

Comics NEVER take more then 10 minutes to read, and then you're done. That's 10 minutes of entertainment. Two packs of M&M's would keep a literate person entertained for longer.

The article says that American comics aren't popular because they're too difficult to read. BS. American comics assume an amount of illiteracy. Why else would they make a story that's over in 20 pages? This is also part of the reason that people think that American comics are for kids. If a story is longer and takes more effort to read (like the Harry Potter books) then suddenly they're not for kids anymore, and its transitioned into an adult genre.

If comic publishers made black and white comics that were significantly longer and more involved people would respect them more.
