Comics on the site

I don’t know if this has been suggested before, but you should put Comic Books on your site. You did it with videogames and it worked. So why not Comics?

The rating system should be the same as with TV-Series. One should be able to rate the series as a whole and each issue.

There are a lot of comic book lovers out there who find it hard to find new stuff to read, because all the rating sites that already exist are small and poorly made. But you already have everything in place.

It made (relative) good sense to add videogames to IMDb since a lot of actors and entertainment technicians were involved in the projects, hence a strong adherence to IMDb.

Conversely, stage plays have been turned down, even though a lot of movie actors may also appear on stage. It is simply not the same distribution ecosystem.

Honestly, I do not see, or very hardly, anything in common between comics and movies and series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman
Batman is a fictional superhero
appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger,
and first appeared in Detective Comics #27, in 1939
The late 1960s Batman television series used a camp aesthetic,
which continued to be associated with the character for years after the show ended.
Various creators worked to return the character to his dark roots,
culminating in 1986 with The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.
The success of Warner Bros. Pictures' live-action Batman feature films
have helped maintain the character's prominence in mainstream culture.

In the sense of database, I see only one in common: all the artists who worked on characters may be crosslinked to the mavies based on the comics. But this principle dictates further question: why not all the novels, novellas, short stories... all the books in this same base?

Video games may have just barely been recognized as work that could fit into the database. The key thing is that video games are variations of movies. What are movies? They are collections of distinct pictures and transitions therebetween, which are automatically presented in sequences as a matter of playback of the media. Each constituent picture, a "frame" of film/video, is a photograph or vector graphic. In the case of video games, with the exception of cut scenes, the whole interactive presentation consists of graphical animations generated on the fly. Comic books and graphic novels are not the same thing, but sometimes some comic books and graphic novels are photographed in such a way as to make a viable cinematic presentation, but the the books themselves are not movies.
