For each individual, diving into a story and reading is something different. Nostalgia. Escape. Entertainment. A 15-minute break from reality. But it's more than that. Fraction writes, "On the surface, comics can tell great, glitzy, glossy, fun, and trashy stories. There's a lot of visual excitement and light entertainment, fantastic ideas and rich opportunities for escapism -- they're a bit like churros, really. Wholly irredeemable in terms of nutritional value, but my word they sure are tasty. And nobody should live on churros alone. But they're fun, like comics can be fun. And they appeal to all the parts of our psyche that we're told we shouldn't be nourishing."
