Comics are a relevant form of communication using art. The entirety of human existence is based upon understanding what someone else is trying to communicate, and Comics are an avenue for such understanding. Comic book artists and writers utilize a wide range of iconographic imagery in order to relay their thoughts into the viewer’s brain. According to McCloud, cartoons have the ability to command the viewer’s attention and participation. Sequence is achieved only because the viewer has the capacity to understand closure, and Comic book artists are constantly searching for ways to correctly portray a sequence.
Comics allow artists and writers to expand their art making practices and are a versatile resource for them to be heard. In order for a story to be successful, the writer or artist needs to evaluate the balance of their message. Is there too much information or not enough? Is the carrot too close or too far? Like all artists utilizing any medium, Comic book artists just want to have their opinions heard. A step further would be to have those opinions understood. I think that is the bar that artists are striving for today.
