I never understood the point of comics when you have television, movies, and actual books. Comics were only cool for the artwork, as the stories were too short to be desirable to me even when they were good, and I didn't feel like buying a hundred issues of one comic in order to get the entire story.
I grew up watching things that were probably based off of comics or could have easily been made into comics. I also read stories about superheroes and such, but they were actual in-depth stories.
Especially now, I see it as pointless to read comics. You used to hear people talk about these older comics and how amazing they were; the stories, the illustrations, and the writing style. Now it seems like no one talks much about comics that were made more recently, they seem to refer back to older comics as those are the far superior ones.
We also have all these terrible fad styles like manga that have caught on like a bad disease and need to be destroyed. If only we had more comics like the original Daredevil or X-Men, then perhaps I'd read them more.
