I like both. But the books give me the liberty of imagination which I like the most.

I have done both. I knew there were comics but the story lines and characters I was unfamiliar with until the movies came out.

I think it is the same as the question, book or movie?

whoever appreciates reading will always choose comic

Movies
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

Both of them definitely build a different picture and inspire more, not because the comic is not good, but because in combination with the sound and the delayed moments the film definitely grabs more. Although I don't understand much about comics.

For Marvel, I prefer to watch the movies and then go to the comics where I could gain more information if it was not depicted in the movies. In most other cases it would be the opposite.

I prefer the movies more than the comic books. The graphic in graphic novels can only be fully appreciated on the silver screen.

Comic books are not easy to find where I am so I haven't read that many. I have watched lots of Marvel movies though. One time I found this app that had Marvel comic books and I ended up reading a couple of the books.

I have watched Avengers Infinity War, but I didn't have the opportunity to read the comic books even after I found out about them.

I have never really been into comic books (although I know there is a huge fan base of them) and I love the Marvel movies so Marvel movies for the win!

Movies, because if I read the comics I just know I will read them out of order and be all sorts of confused.

Movies. I do not have the attention span of reading a gazillion versions of spiderman then watching the movies. And that's just spiderman, what of the others. Nope. Definitely movies or cartoons.
