Definitely is. I studied English in college after graduating and though you learn a lot, nothing replaces TV and comics in helping expand my vocabulary.
A ripple effect is that I had no friends reading comics as well so I had to turn to English message boards to discuss comics which helped improve my skills and led to meeting people from the US, UK, Canada and Europe that I still call friends to this day. We all did NYCC together and that was a wonderful experience.
