I'm close to the same age as Klock (I turn 30 in april of twenty ten) but I have a very different view on stuff. I never want to see Miller on Batman again is one thing. And probably what I think is fresh wouldn't work for him. But I've been skewed by reading a TON of Shonen manga, and be that its comics for 12 year old, Super Hero books need to start sampling like Puffy in '95. I agree with somethings and not on others.

So mainstream (i.e. Marvel/DC) super-heroes aren't going anywhere. The days when those were my only options for the genre are long past. Dark Horse, Image, the eighteen various small publishers Warren Ellis publishes with. I want capes & tights I've got plenty of places to go. Plus thats not even looking at webcomics... And if I really, really, REALLY need a fix of Batman, Spider-Man or the like, well there are plenty of new and old sources for them that have no connection to Big Two Crisis Event comics...
