What Grabs Your Interest?

Pretty colors and shiny things

Not many speech bubbles. clutched pages with more speech bubbles than art makes me think....why not just write a novel instead?
Some pages with lots of talking are acceptable but there is a limit.

I like a lot of mystery and spooky stuff. If weird stuff is going on, I am there! I also really like characters that have good, believable friendships with each other and work well together. Also, personal preference, not a fan of romance of any kind. It's boring to me. The chemistry either has to be really strong or it has to be reduced to an occasional subplot.

Also, if I feel like something is trying to pander to a demographic, I'm turned off from that too. I just want to see pure passion as far as the eye can see.

Hmmm...

A unique style, or at least super expressive faces.
Fairly simple and memorable character designs
Horror...usually.
Dark romance (that's not played as a GOOD romance)
Unique fantasy
Vampires....again, usually.
Stories set in past eras
Cyberpunk
Very interesting characters <--important.
Atmospheric settings/scenery...sucker for this. Like, if there's fog, the scenery pleases me. XD
The color blue-gray used in excess

Nice art, interesting storyline and a LGBTQ+ character is a plus.

Bright colors generally grab my interest, but clear and non-cluttered comics are what I really look for. Too much dialogue, bizarre paneling and whatnot will make it more difficult for me to read. I'm not a huge stickler on artwork as long as I can tell what's going on.

I really like a cartoony styles (as appose to anime and such). Especially ones that are unique and charming. Having unique characters is also good, which sort of has to do with both character design and art style.

I also like when the story is clear, both in writing and in readability (I can actually read your text and it is not too small or too cluttered). I like stories that rely more on visuals than on how much dialogue they can stuff in one panel.

When it comes to subject matter...anything about friendship and family. I also like racial diversity....mostly because my family is very racially diverse. I like stuff about class struggle and people struggling with emotions and such. I'm not to crazy about "emo" stuff, I prefer more realistic depictions of depression, not Hot Topic cliches.

dick jokes, full color, not anime or disney inspired art styles. Weird titles I suppose.

Good character designs are what draw me in initially. I mean, they gotta be at least decent if I have to look at them every page.

Then I have to see if the text is legible.

If those are a go then I'll read on to see if the story actually interests me.

I actually have to agree here, character design is something that I do enjoy in a series, which is one reason I have a hard time watching Mob Pyscho and other times it's just great. That's one of the reasons I put so much detail into the A.O.G Armors, I want them to look really cool, and even the non armored characters and demons I tried to make look pretty cool (Though sometimes "regular" street cloths are hard to think of).

As for the text in a story, as long as the story doesn't sound like it was written by a 6 yr old or a pre teen going through puberty (Too many innuendos) I'm fine with it, given that there is a story to begin with, I don't want something like Teen Titans Go or the rebooted Ben 10, that just drives me up the wall.

horror and mystery but what interest me would be those homicide case that's related to an urban legend and folklores like the series from Grimm and Sleepy Hollow also with a hint of romance and comedy.
