Art vs. Writing

I've heard far too many excuse terrible writing because the art was amazing. I've also seen people refuse to get a title because the art wasn't good enough. There's certainly a balance that needs to be met with comics since their a visual story. A lot has to be conveyed in gestures and expressions that give the characters more personality. Even so I can't continue to buy a series if the writing is bad. Story and characterization are key for me. I would prefer good art but I think I'm also more lenient than some on different styles.

    I'm with you, having good art is nice but it doesn't matter if the writing is bad. In the end what it gives meaning to the art are the script and the dialogue.

    I've hardly ever saw art that was so bad it couldn't tell the story properly. I know it exists but so far I've been lucky enough to not to encounter it within the titles I read.

    I am a visual person, so good artwork is always appreciated. But you are absolutely correct in that it can't rescue a bad story.

    I'm an artist, I haven't really drawn in awhile but I can empathize with the artist which makes me more lenient towards art. There are a lot of factors for why it might look a certain way. Time constraints, personal issues, changing the style, etc.
