The coexistence in comics of elements such as iconic and linguistic signs allows this medium to stage its own codes. This relationship between the image and the writing is the result of a balance of power. Through this, the comic strip questions its own linguistic mechanisms, its semiotic codes or the properties of its medium. This medium, which exploits one or other of these possibilities to construct meaning, establishes the relationship between mediagenicity and mediativity. Mediativity concerns the nature of the signs mobilized by each medium, its semiotic configuration. It integrates the study of modalities and questions the sources of knowledge conveyed by an utterance as well as the modes of access of the speaker to these sources, and therefore to this knowledge. It manifests itself, therefore, through the media's ability to seize subjects or themes borrowed from other sources. Mediagenic describes the ability of a narrative project, or even of a genre, to come to fruition by choosing the media partner that best suits it. It designates the media's ability to find the "right shape". Modalization produces a mark or a set of formal marks by which the subject of the enunciation expresses his greater or lesser adherence to the content of the statement. Mediativity, mediagenics and modalisation identify the mechanisms, strategies and the way in which meaning and reality are constructed in discourse. Thus, in this work, the problem in which we are interested is that of the adequacy between the imaginary and the expressive possibilities of the media, considered in their own physicality and which participates in the construction of meaning and reality.
