My advice would be:

do what you want

If you want comics - and students read them - great
If you want Reader's Digest - and students read them - great

I remember back in the old days when the rumor (and was a fact in many
libraries) - that the Wizard of Oz, Nancy Drew, etc. were considered
sub-literature and would not be in libraries.

MY MOTTO: do what works - and who cares what someone else says?
