Comics as Contemporary Literature

   Recently it would seem that comics have become much more common than they've been in the past. The digital world has certainly made the proliferation of comics much easier. Most people nowadays read some form of comic anyway. Web comics are very popular, and many go to see movies based on comics. As time goes on, people move and do at a faster pace, and as such, ideas of entertainment will reflect this.

   As of today there are plenty of legendary works that define the medium of comics as literary marvels and as culture and technology advance, there will certainly be no end to it. People are fascinated with stories about the surreal and the fantastic. People also loves good visuals to enhance the narrative. Comics clearly can provide both. While comics are sometimes considered to be lesser in stature to a more formal source of entertainment, such as the paperback novel, it would appear that this is more of a personal preference. Comics are widely spread and very much appreciated by any demographic. 

   Comics exist as any genre with wildly varied appearances and lengths and with the advent of motion comics, games and film may now include sound and movement. There is no limit to the versatility of the craft other than those who create it. My only concern is that the prospect of business will hamper the quality of genuine craft.
