I've always been an outsider to the "comic book genre", but I find it strange that comic book films and tv shows are lightning up the popularity charts, yet comic books themselves seem to struggle to break six figures for even some major releases. You'd think the success of the MCU or DCEU would result in a halo effect for the comics but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm curious to why this is, what's holding comics back, and how they got in this situation in the first place?

Edge & Christian seems like a knowledgeable person due to how everyone is hyping them.OnimaruXLR posted:3) Is there any kind of serialized periodical fiction that is particularly popular anymore, outside of fanfiction? Excluding manga for comparison purposes. I know there are some successful webcomics but it seems like for every big seller there are tens of thousands, ranging from people still making bad Penny Arcade clones in the 2020s to really well thought out expertly executed original stories, and hardly any of them seem to be a big deal. Serialized YA novels seem to be big.

Dr.D-O posted:I think the simplest explanation is that most people like the ideas presented in comics, but most people don't like to read.

The casual reader isn't going to want to read up on hours of lore just to merely start a story.
