A buddy at my LCS told me I was reading comics wrong and it actually helped

He pointed out I was flipping through issues way too fast and missing the background details. After he showed me how he spends 5 minutes just looking at the art before reading, I started catching little Easter eggs and storytelling clues I'd always glossed over. Anyone else ever get called out on their reading habits and change things up?

24 years reading comics and I still catch myself skimming the art sometimes.

Man, I used to be the exact same way. Always flipping through to get to the story, never really stopping to soak in the art. This totally changed my perspective on how I read now.

Whoa @the_ryan, but have you ever noticed how comic ads used to tell their own tiny stories?
