Friend told me I was reading comics too fast and missing the art. Changed my whole approach.

I used to blaze through a 22-page issue in 5 minutes, just focusing on dialogue and plot. Then a buddy said I was treating it like a novel and ignoring how the panel layouts tell half the story. Now I spend a good 15-20 minutes per issue, especially on stuff like the double-page splash in issue #47 of Saga. Does anyone else struggle to slow down and appreciate the artwork, or is speed-reading just how you do it?

Is it really that deep though?

Honestly @theas28 I'm with you, people need to chill.

My friend Jen showed up to a work meeting last week and three people were already having this same exact passive-aggressive argument in the Slack thread (like, before anyone even said hello). @alice928 you're right that maybe we all just need to take a breath instead of making it a whole thing.
