What a silly thing to say. Comics are just as viable an art form as written books, movies, and television. It's the combination of word and image. It's very pretentious to say that an entire form of expression is immature or invalid. Yet you'll get snotty nosed mid to late 20 year olds saying it all the time in an effort to make themselves feel like they've actually grown up.

It is DOMINATED by Superhero comics certainly, but just because they feature Superheroes doesn't mean those comics are childish or bad - certainly not. Most of them use Superheroes as a vessel for other things, the most famous of these being X-men.

I mean, why would you want to sit around reading a bunch of words all day? Or looking at some pictures in an art gallery?

There are plenty of comics that aren't superhero based. Try most of Alan Moore's works, Neil Gaiman and Joe Linsner. Those three have written some Philosphical masterpieces the likes of which have never been seen in written works.
