And here's how to fix comics
The tl;dr is that we're just going to copy manga

>1) good print quality
>>a) paper
Look at this image here. I've put a comic floppy and a manga tankobon on the floor. At this distance it becomes immediately obvious which one is more pleasant to look at.
The paper in the manga is thicker and matte, this is far easier on the eyes and easier on the hands. The comic floppy is glossy, this produces glare in the light, the paper is thin so it tears and crumples easily in the hand, and the smooth nature of the paper makes it sweaty in the hand also.
>>b) proportions
The manga tankobon is smaller in size, and thicker due to having more pages. I own thousands of books of all different shapes and sizes, and the tankobon is the optimal size that a book should be. If it's too large, it's heavy and cumbersome to hold. If it has too many pages, you can't open the book. If it's too small, it's fiddly in the hand, and if it has too few pages it becomes floppy.
Comic floppies are both too large and too few pages. They are impossible to read with one hand or at odd angles such as in bed.

>2) the art
This is too deep to go into for this rant, but the most effective and simple suggestion is to reduce the number of artists working on a comic to no more than two, ideally one, but if there are two, they must be working closely together.
While I have the image of the comic and the manga on the floor posted here, I'll mention the panelling.
The panels in the manga are bigger, the text is bigger, the figures in the panels are bigger and zoomed in. This makes it easy to read. Comics are drawn with too many panels and text even smaller and figures even smaller in those panels, you have to squint to see what's going on.
