Before you know it, you, too, will be the doddering, drooling old fool harkening back to "the Good Old Days". Today's "cutting edge and hip" will be tomorrow's "Why doesn't that old guy just shut the hell up?".....right?
Still....mainstream comics are moving in some pretty good directions now, and I usually welcome change....if it's done right and for the right reasons. I like comics from just about every era: Silver, Bronze, 80's....whatever. If it's good, it's good. Profound, huh?
