Here's why:
* Italics are the standard way to indicate titles of works, including books, magazines, newspapers, movies, TV shows, albums, and yes, comic books.
* Underlining was a typographic convention used before computers and word processors became commonplace. It was used to indicate emphasis or titles in typewritten documents.
So, when writing about a comic book, you would write:
* "I just finished reading _Batman: Year One_."
Note: Some style guides might have different preferences, so always check the specific guidelines for your publication or project.
