Every comic that does at least word or phrase per text bubble like this. It throws off the way the voices sound in my head and makes it impossible to focus on what they're saying. I've tried so many times, and there are lots of comics I'd love to read, but I just mentally cannot.

I do know the history of why it's done like that, and it doesn't help.

Most of the big popular comics started their runs in serialized issues that were printed very cheaply, so the ink would fade easily, and bolding words was a way of preserving the most important bits of the dialogue for a longer period of time while being less costly than doing that for the entirety of the dialogue. Nowadays it's mainly a legacy that continues because people came to expect comic speech to look that way.
