Thoughtful, and I see what you're saying. But for me, the 'photo comic' style doesn't work; on the one hand, you have the realistic scenes and people (invisible art); and on the other, you have the speech balloons plonked on top. I find it much easier to read a traditional drawn comic, because there seems to be less of a stylistic shift going from the image to the dialogue. The speech is less obviously superimposed, and is more a part of the artwork.This jars when the images are more realistic and less stylised, and the same comment would have to apply to 3D generated comics as well. Maybe I just haven't found a 3D comic that can draw me in to the extent that I can ignore the medium. Just my 0.02 - thanks for making me analyse my previously instinctive reaction to the genre... :)
