I'm kind of confused as how one can say that any medium is really better than another. I think a masterpeice in any style is a masterpiece all the same. So what if Book A is better than Book B but not as strong as Comic C and made into a generic TV show D which had killer concept record E.

I'm not attacking anyone's personal belief, but I think the blanket statement that "A good book has so much more to offer than a good comic" is somewhat silly. An issue of Sandman won a World Fantasy Award as a comic VS actual short stories.

There is no penacle for art.

Oh, and the only comic I'm reading on a regular basis is Superman/Batman. 1602 and JLA/Avengers are also very good.
