TOPIC: “Why are comics still popular?”

KNOW: The fact that comics aren’t just for kids, they try to reach other age groups and talk about our society or our history. It seems as if we can relate even more with comics, it deals with real issues that all of us have gone through at least once in our lives but instead of just reading it you see it spread out on every page. Another thing is how old comics have been made into movies increasing their popularity making new fans want to know how it all started or where did it start. You have movies or tv shows like Lucifer, Snowpiercer, Logan, The Boys, and Joker, all of which started as a comic.

WANT:

Why do some people consider that comics are only for kids or don’t consider them as literature?

Why can’t schools use comics in their teachings?

LEARNED:  As the movie franchises got bigger, introducing terms like “cinematic universe” to viewers’ lexicons, they got more colorful too, and introduced deep-cut characters and more complex stories. Independent comic companies tend to be even better at reaching out to minority or  under-served audiences, even if they don’t always sell as much as the big two.
