Believe it or not the term is Postmodern.
Maybe not so much with comic books. But what do ~I~ know?
That's a fascinating essay, or at least it was until after a while it started reminding me that about 38 years ago, when minoring in philosophy, I figured out that most philosophy, and I guess intellectualism was crap! A lot of it was crap, anyway.
Anyhow, on the art threads here on FR, which can be fascinating, postmodernism gets no respect at all, not even from the few freepers who admit to liking abstract art.
Maybe we're already past postmodernism, too. Wonder where we are if that's the case?
