Like YOU'VE read every comic book published over the last 25 years. Virtually NO ONE has read everything published. You're such a sack of shit, what remarkable arrogance, alleging your superior knowledge of the last 25 years of work. You pick and choose what you read too, dumbass. You don't buy every comic book published.
You buy 700 titles a month?
Give me a break. It is only boundless arrogance that you could make such a snap assumption of your alleged superior comics collecting knowledge.
heh. See, Wondy, the difference is... I never claimed anything as stupid as "NO SUPERIOR WORK HAS COME ALONG (in the past 25 years)". I wouldn't make a statement like that, simply becuase I'm not that much of an idiot. No, I don't read 700 comics a month, THEREFORE I'm not qualified to make a statement like that... and neither are you. The diffence is, I'm aware of it.
The fact that you think I'm "alleging superior knowledge" simply by pointing out that GASP! you know very little about a comic era you dislike and largely ignore (to clarify: the current one) is an example of that delightful little tendency your mind has to rush to extremes.
No, I never claimed to have anything as dramatic as "superior comic collecting knowledge". I just know more about the current era than you because
I am actively reading current comics and you are not. It's only logical that I should know a bit more about something I'm, you know, reading, that you're, you know, not.
blah blah blah I once touched a preacher comic and my anus bled
Ok!
I would argue that, conversely, YOU'RE too immersed in the new books, that your standards have been degraded to the point that you don't recognize the shit published now for the shit that it truly is !
Actually, while I admit I read a lot of current comics, I read even more old ones... right now I'm re-reading Kirby's Fourth World because I just completed the three main series, a Lee/Kirby FF volume I just bought, some 90's Flash comics (not exactly what you'd call dark), some old comic strips (Popeye, Little Nemo), some Love and Rockets... I think the darkest stuff I'm reading is Giffen's JLE, which I also completed recently.
This is simply because old material is more readily avaliable to me than new one. So! There goes that argument.
Your purpose here is no doubt just to annoy me.
My main purpose is to amuse myself. If I happen to annoy you while I'm doing it, that's just an added bonus.
You can make all the condescending assumptions you want about what I allegendly know and don't know, but the fact is I've followed what's published, and read as much as I could stomach.
Which isn't very much, given how much of a pansy you are. (Seriously, if Preacher made you weep don't go near The Boys (a phrase you've probably heard before) or you'll heart attack.) Also, "following" comics through the internet and through imaginary friends isn't the same as ACTUALLY READING THEM. Face it, dude, you don't like current comics so you don't read them... I'm not insulting you by calling you ignorant on this matter, I'm just stating a logical conclusion. I won't be insulted if you say I'm ignorant about baseball. I don't give a shit about baseball.
And I love the arrogance with which you assume otherwise.
