Do you like reading infographics in comic books?

Personally, I myself have mixed feelings towards them. On one hand, it's a tool that shows off the amount of world building that some of the best comic book writers in the modern industry such as Jonathan Hickman, who LOVES putting infographics in his comic books, and, to a lesser degree, Grant Morrison are committed to providing. On the other hand, I still much prefer to see world building on panel than I do with infographics.

I have a mixed opinion on them as well, but I am leaning towards 'No' more than 'Yes'.

They are a nice addition to certain stories to push even further the world building that is happening by the creative team, but it takes out a bit out of the joy of reading the book and enjoying the beautiful pages. Some books need infographics, others not so much. The current X-Line is suffering from too much infographics imo and that is one of the reasons why I dropped many of the books - too much text which is there for the sake of it.

No. I haven't bothered reading any of them in the recent x-men stuff. I don't care how important they are

No. Great question. I skip past that kinda stuff. I don't want to get so invested in the world.

I'm more invested in the character interactions.

For the most part I like infographics, it's a great a way to deliver information which would take pages to convey however at the same time it can be tedious, so the more creative the presentation the better.

Nope. It's one of my biggest pet peeves with krakoan era of X-Men comics
