A <a href="http://www.csun.edu/~krowlands/Content/Academic_Resources/Reading/Useful%20Articles/Cunningham-What%20Reading%20Does%20for%20the%20Mind.pdf">study </a>done by Cunningham and Stanovich uncovered that the language used in comic book often times exceeds that of oral communication of college graduates. The idea that comic books are only for those who have a lower reading level is completely false, and conversely, comic books can actually help those who do have a lower reading level to practice with material that will actually interest them.

The Language Used is Quite Advanced

This means that all of the components of a comic book are integrated in order to form one solid understanding of the story. The text, space, and images all make up these modalities that the reader will incorporate. Comic books require a more complex neurological process. Critics will say that comic books are as simple as picture books, but they are much more than that.
