Art vs. Narrative

I weigh them both. I read a book if the story and art are mixed appropriately, that's what makes a good book, a good book. I used to think that I should get books just because it's done by a good artist/penciller, since I'm an "artist" too, and neglect the story of the book as long as it's pretty. Well, guess what? I might as well browse the internet for pictures instead of getting the comics. Some people find some book's art ugly, and don't bother reading it, like Powers, Hellboy, Goon, BPRD. They don't know they're missing such a good read. I guess they're happy with just looking at the 'art' from The Gift, since they consider it 'overwhelming'.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
