Weird thing I just noticed

I have trouble going from a media with motion to a static media. For example, I love Young Justice as a cartoon, but I just can't read the comic. Film/TV to book I can manage, I guess cause I am visualizing the action so it's in motion?

There are exceptions though; the recent Star Wars comics translate well for me. So maybe it's just the art need to have potential motion to it?

ETA: Thinking more on this, I think it stems from when the comic emulates the animation art style too closely. My brain just looks at it and thinks it should be moving but it's not.

I've had that issue as well. I think it's kind of like an Uncanny Valley thing--the closer they try to get to the appearance of the source material, the more the differences stand out.
