Comics don't have a budget; they are limited only by a person/team's imagination, talent, and the amount of time they're willing to spend working on it. A teenager in Mom's basement can write and draw a great comic if they want.
Animation is closer to comics than films, so some of that carries over to that medium. With how cheap computers are and software like Flash or Plastic Animation Paper, you can market your stuff directly on Youtube or Newgrounds now. On the corporate side, you've got places like [adult swim] if you don't want to draw toy commercials for the rest of your career.
As for movies...just mentally compare them to the source material or animated adaptations. Also, try not to think about all the committee planning, producer/corporate mandated edits that ruin good films, and literal d*ck sucking that happens behind the scenes.
The Batman comics vs. Batman: TAS and Brave and the Bold vs the Burton/Schumacher films, the Nolan trilogy, and Batfleck?
The Avengers comics vs Earth's Mightiest Heroes vs. the MCU?
The Dikto /Romita era Spider-Man comics vs the '94 show and Spectacular Spider-Man vs. the Raimi trilogy, TASM, and the cringiest parts of Homecoming.
Claremont's X-Men run vs. the 1992 series and X-Men: Evolution vs. Fox's X-films (all of them, not just Singer's first two).
The choice here is clear, at least for me.
