Books or Comics
What do you think is better? Books or comics?
What do you prefer to read the most? And do you feel books would be better in comic form? What about if comics where and book form? feed back is desired and would be greatly appreciated.

I hear Twilight has a graphic novelization out now. That might make it palatable if it was somehow condensed and a lot of the shitty descriptions were just drawn.
What I miss are novels that include pictures every fifty pages or so depicting some exciting thing in the story.

Why do you need pictures, though? It's much more fun imagining what it's like.
Books so hard. Comics are... interesting, but while I accept that stuff like Watchmen manages to reach the "Really fucking awesome and intelligent" realm, that's an outlier. |

Sometimes I like to see some art of what I'm reading? Sure I can imagine it, but I also enjoy appreciating good art.

I feel comics and books are sufficiently different as literary mediums that I couldn't tell you which one is 'better'.
What criteria are we judging them on anyway?

All but mostly on the grounds of detail and the amount of impact a story in book or comic form has on it's reader(s). How much of the author's world the reader feels with each page and chapter. AS well as how quickly updates to the story are done and how much of it is told at a time.

It really boils down to what kind of story you want to tell.

A well rounded story of action, comedy, and a compelling plot that really catches the readers. And well balanced, well thought out Characters.

Sounds like a novel.
