: As one of the seminal deconstructive works of comic books that has been... ripped off five-hundred-thousand times... of course it's going to feel stale.
Can you give me some examples cause I wanna point and laugh too.
: What needs to be remembered is: all the current attempts at re-deconstruction of comics being essentially mental masturbation and an easy attempt at feeling "deep" for a writer aside, this is one of the books that did it first and did it best.
You just scored about a million points on the fanboy cliche meter with the whole mental masturbation bit.
That is all...
I lied... actually what are you reading now?... I am really into Y- the last man standing and fables.... my guilty pleasure is actually looking the comic book store guy in the eye when I buy Meridian. Finally have you read "Torso"? I thought it was awsome.
