Re: Chick lit, starring... She-Hulk?

Because I quite like comics and I want comics to be good. I guess I omitted the minor premise in my original post, which would be: "Comics written to appeal to the most hardcore, neckbeard-y element of the fan base are usually not good."

All those tendencies, all the things that DC and Marvel do to push to the innermost core of their fanbase, lead them to make comics that are worse. They play up all their own worst tendencies. They add more obscure, recondite continuity. They make things more extreme. They have worse characterization. And I don't think Big 2 comics have to be like that - they can be good, and they can have less of that stuff, and they have in the past.

I do read non-Big 2 comics. I'd also like to read more Big 2 comics and I'd like them to make better comics. And I don't think there's any good reason for them to do what they're doing, except short-term profit margins. I don't think there's any reason Big 2 comics can't or shouldn't make good comics that don't give in to the worst habits of the medium. I'm not saying that Big 2 comics have to be mature and serious, either - I'd just like them to be less shit, and I think playing to the fanboys is a large component of why they so often are shit.
