I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period.
I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.
I do believe that sci-fi or historical fiction finds an easy home in comics because there are no budget constraints in regards to the necessary world-building or visual effects necessary to bring those stories to life in other mediums.
People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books.
There are still some people out there who believe comic books are nothing more than, well, comic books. But the true cognoscenti know graphic novels are - at their best - an amazing blend of art literature and the theater of the mind.
I continue to be disappointed that people don't try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.
Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
Some novel lovers have no interest in comics, and some comics fans would never take the time to read a novel.
I have a great affection for comics, and I think that people underrate comics as a genre.
Comics, at least in periodical form, exist almost entirely free of any pretense; the critical world of art hardly touches them, and they're 100% personal.
