  1. Really, reading comic books in spare time is the best way to pass time when you are alone or feeling bored. Buying books online is much easier and full of fun than purchasing books from on-road books shops. So buy and read comic books online save your time but also the physical exertion and money you spend while traveling to purchase books from the regular bookstore.
