Do you think comics are a children’s or adult genre/media?
Comics are one of the most popular and pervasive media forms of our increasingly visual age. Comics combine words and pictures.
I believe comics are for both children and adult. There are lots of comics intended for children, for example, Pokemon, Sonic and so on. Those kind of comics usually have unnatural characters who can perform tasks that not possible to happen in real world. Some people may say comics are a waste of time for children to read but I do not agree. Children are more likely to be attracted by images than a purely written book. Comics helps teacher to teach students more effectively.
On the other side, there are many comics produced for adult. They may contain material that might be considered disturbing, horrifying, obscene, profane, immoral, and even pornographic. They are intended to help adult relax and can improve their imaginations. However, not all adult comics contain any of the above materials; they may just tell a story in a more mature way, for example, The Virgin Project.
Comics can keep the reader interested and may help us relax which would increase our productivity.

ReplyDeleteI think I have answered the same question as you. for me, i think the way children read about comics is different from how adults do because they only understand what the appearance of a comic, they don't think depply.however, as a adult according to myself, the comics i used love is not attracting me anymore.I think that's because for every age has their own representative comics.
