Limited series (comics)

Okay kiddo, so you know how there are some books that have many, many chapters and go on and on for a long, long time? Well, comic books are kinda like that too! They tell stories about superheroes, villains, or ordinary people with extraordinary abilities, and they usually keep going for many, many issues.

But sometimes, a comic book writer and artist have a story they want to tell that's just too big to fit in a lot of issues. So instead, they decide to make a limited series! This is like a mini-book, or a smaller version of a regular comic book that only has a certain number of issues, usually ranging from 2 to 12.

So instead of having to read many issues to get to the end of the story, readers can buy all the issues of the limited series and get the complete story in a much shorter amount of time. It's like a special treat or snack, instead of a big meal!

Limited series are also cool because they can explore new characters or settings, or even tell stories that don't fit into the regular comic book timeline. They can be a fun way to see characters in different situations, or to get a more focused story that really dives deep into a certain aspect or character.

So there you have it, kiddo! Limited series are like mini-comic books that tell a complete story in a shorter amount of time. They're a fun way for comic book creators to explore new stories, characters, and themes, and for readers to get a special treat or snack between big comic book meals.
