Why most people never start reading comics.

Beginners do not quit because comics are bad. They quit because getting started feels complicated.

What gets in the way:
  • Too many timelines
  • Too many issue numbers
  • Conflicting reading orders
  • Fear of doing it wrong

Most beginners quit before they begin.
