Absolutely. IIRC people used to read them out loud to each other in salons - 18th/19th century maybe? - which supports that argument.

Racing through John Connolly's 'The Instruments of Darkness' having got through the last Rebus in about a day and a half. Normally I read slowly but with these I just can't help myself. Just one more chapter...

I read the Traveller comics from Markosia.
Far Trader #1-4 &
Riftbreaker #1-2 (so far).
Generally I enjoyed the stories, the integration with the RPG and Charted Space.
Far Trader was a bit anticlimactic in it's payoff, but worth the read.
Riftbreaker is shaping up well, I hope it runs for more than four episodes.
The quality of the artwork in the first two comics was poor, but it got better, and the appendices with RPG useable material was very good.
If you are a Traveller fan then I recommend these.

Gentlemen Bastards #2
This is one of the very few DNF (did not finish) books I have encountered. I found the first book in the series a bit humdrum and derivative, add chaotic, unfocused and boringly rude for no good reason; I just couldn't be bothered to read this poor sequel past 35%.
1/10
