I kinda love them?? I imagined if this is a manga, these would be drawn with light strokes, and tones that make them seem glowy and sparkly, with the descriptions written in small light-weighted serif fonts. And then it cuts directly to the scene with a fade-to-black and several small rectangles as a divider.

Im not sure if it's just among my friends and circles, but ive always noticed a lot of folks who read books may not cross over into comics or rarely do so. Whereas among my comic book nerd friends and circles ive noticed theyre receptive to venturing over to works that are primarily text and don't always limit themselves to just comics, even if its the bulk of what they read. Of course, ive also met people who primarily consume comics and nothing else too! I'm curious to know if that's just my perception or if anyone else notices the same.

If you don't read comics but you read books that are primarily text, is there a specific reason why? If you're a primarily comic book reader do you occasionally crossover into text only books, and if you don't, do you feel out of place in book spaces? I'm curious to know!

I'm not trying to pitch one kind of book over any other btw, I like reading all sorts of things and can't make up my mind half the time about whether story ideas I have would be better as a book or a comic. I think both are just slight variations in the same kind of magic.

For people who don't read comics at all, what would it take to venture over? 😉

Edit: when I'm talking abt comics, I'm just referring to any and all sequential art, not just ur western newspaper comic strips and comic books, but lengthier comics too (those hilariously deemed "graphic novels" instead of being deemed just humble comics) and manga, manhwa, webcomics, etc. ;)
