Comic has been my favorite reading since i was in kindergarten. I grew up reading them, even until now i still always make time to the bookstore every month to buy the newest volume of series that i've been collecting or to just simply check whether there's a new book by my favorite author. I do read novels, but i'm not fond of them. Like if there's a good novel, i'd love to read it but i don't go to the bookstore often to buy new novels. Not as often as I do with comics. I prefer to have my friends lend me some or to download it from the internet for free (HA!), because you know, novel is a little too pricey comparing to comic. Of course it's worth the price, but sometimes i don't spare that much of money to be spent on books.
But I guess what makes me enjoy comic the most is that everything in comic is told to you in a more effective way. I mean, comparing to words, pictures explain things faster, and thus makes everything more efficient. Comic doesn't bore me with unnecessary details, like if it isn't important then the author will not bother drawing it. I often find my self overwhelmed by lengthy and unimportant description in a novel. They can write like 10 lines long-paragraph just to explain what the character is wearing or to describe where the conflict takes place. I was like, "really why don't you just cut to the damn chase i just want to know what happens next!".
Or maybe the actual reason is just that i'm plain lazy. And broke.
