She couldn't make heads or tails of it. And I admit, even as a seasoned reader, hese comics were tough to follow - a not-so-good of a decent idea. But it was beyond that for her since she had never read a comic book before. There are two instances of comic book movies radically enhancing the experience of reading comic books for me. Nightcrawler in Xmen 2 and Spiderman vs Doc Ock in Spidey 2. Often in comics, from the static page, we imagine the heroes utilization of their powers in physical space far more elaborately and impressively than the movies can offer. In the fights between spidey and doc ock, and nightcrawler's teleportation-aided omnipresence, those guys were moving as i thought they should and their powers blended with their fighting styles so perfectly that it appeared an organic extenstion of what i had imagined from the panel.
