"Movies Are Usually Best Remembered For Their Stories, Books For Their Characters, And, I'd Argue, That Comics Is The Medium Of Ideas."

People who haven't read comics aren't as prepared to deal with odd ideas.

The thing that the best comics, and even the bad ones, do is engage with ideas and craziness in a world that's run more by imagination than the limits of reality. I've been reading the Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus and loving it because even though there's some clunky dialogue, every page has some crazy concept and each issue a series of mind blowing set pieces that just put a smile on your face for their sheer insanity. What Kirby has done in that book is immerse himself in a very different reality from our own, and by writing the crazy stuff as normal, he forces us, reading from our regular reality, to stretch our minds and move into this new world.

It was more than just an adventure story, it was a concentrated assault of ideas that possessed my brain and forced me to think in new and different ways.
