What are your thoughts on floating sound effect words in comics?
I was talking to a friend about them recently, and he called them hokey and that they make what could be compelling action scenes too cartoony. He would prefer that comics just let the reader imagine the sound of the action for themselves
Personally I think good onomatopoeia add tons to a panel. A punch to the jaw feels a lot more meaty when accompanied by a panel-sized KRAKK or whatever.
What do YOU think, /co/?

They are essential imho.
EU comics, and especially Manga use them way more creatively than US comics.

pic related says in his book that he used his famous ゴ[Menacing] and other "sound effects" in Jojo to convey the sounds/atmospheric music that would've been in the background of his manga.
so if you're friend isn't a comic book creator, be sure to thank him that he isn't and possibly never will be

>Araki used sound effects in Jojo so everyone must use them at all times.
Man I like sound effects but this is a dumb thing to say. Jojo's art isn't particularly dynamic most of the time and the sound effects in it aid in letting you know what the fuck is going on. They're essential in Jojo but I don't see how that makes them indispensableotherwise.
