I disagree, the literary aspect of comics has never been better.
For instance Civil War, it may not have had write ups in Publishers Weekly or what not but it is satisfying the one demand of comic readers, excitement. And Fans can not wait to read issue #2.
Other books like Jean Phillip Stassen's 'Deogratias' from St Martins Press is a highly thought provoking title.
Or a book like ' A Bit of Madness' from Checker Publishing is absolutely gorgeous in the artwork and is a solid high fantasy tale of Elves, Humans and good and evil.
Soon we will see comic works by renown writers such as Laurell Hamilton and already have works by Sci Fi writer Raymond Feist.
The Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, John Byrne, Chis Claremont days are over. Comics are moving into a new generation with the likes of Warren Ellis, Michael Bendis and Robert Kirkman to name a few.
The industry has never really been more thought provoking and interesting for readers.
Comics are not running out of ideas, there is still a world of ideas to explore.
Why do you think Hollywood, which is bankrupt of ideas, is looking to the comi industry for new ideas.
