What You’re Missing Out On When You Speed Read

I’ve always had a love for comic books. Reading the stories of the X-MenWolverine, Captain America, and Daredevil brought me to a whole new world.

The world of comics brought stories alive like I’d never seen before. Pages splashed with colors and beautiful images. Those images showing movement and energy.

Words and pictures melded together to engage me. Turning every page, I wanted more. I wanted to see what happened next.

Speed reading is awesome. But it makes you miss out on this.

But then I stopped reading comics. For years I didn’t pick up a comic book. Then, a couple of months back, I began visiting local comic book stores.

The local comic book store opened my eyes to epic events that happened during my separation from comics. Captain America had died. So did the Incredible Hulk. Wait, Captain America is back? And he’s a bad guy?

So much to keep up with. So much to take in.
