I don’t care much for comic books anymore. Archies, Richie Rich, etc. were fun. Superheroes belong in the movies.

I gave up on comics when they stopped being fun and tried to be serious.
Superman, dude, you wear your underpants OVER your long-johns.
Lighten up.

But I still check Axe Cop every week on the interwebs.

Hmmm, Batman with Spiderman as a sidekick instead of Robin… that actually would have worked really well on the original TV series. You know, when Batman was a comedy? Geez, let Big Drama in and they’ll wreck everything, although the special effects are fun to watch for a while, I guess.

There’s no legitimate argument for any civilian to possess wall-climbing or high-capacity web-slinging abilities.

The problem with comics isn’t the characters, it’s that they go on for 700 issues,
when going beyond 2-300 necessitates multi-verses, ‘imaginary-what-if’ stories,
silly reinventions of the characters, new ‘desperatly-seeking-relevance-through-current-events’ characters,
‘wait-and-see-how-we-resurrect-the-beloved-character-we-killed-off-again’ stories,
‘surprise-he’s-really-a-clone’ stories etc.
Nuff said!

I’m not a big comic book fan, but I do enjoy stories where a good guy delivers pain and suffering to a bad guy with extreme prejudice, malice, and cruelty.

So… Dirty Harry & RoboCop are my favorite movies.

As for comics, Frank Miller’s “Dark Knight” trilogy is about as close as I get to enjoying that genre.

Outside of that, long-running comics tend to start pulling crap “surprises” like daytime soap operas do, just because they’re out of ideas.

Hey guys? Remember, when we get the wood and brush to tie Basil to for burning, get the extra fresh, wet wood-it’ll be smokier, burn longer, and create more agony for the blasphemer.

Just kidding.

Really.
