| The frustrating thing is that the Marvel characters can be used to tell some darn good stories. In fact, I think Civil War had a great premise but just went in a retarded direction. With a story like that it shouldn't devolve down into a big brawl with one side 'winning' and the other 'losing'.
I will still point out the X-Men Graphic Novel 'God Loves, Man Kills' as one of the best stories Marvel has ever told. It was a super hero story, but it was well written and presented some thoughtful and controversial issues.
Then I pop open something like Civil War or Infinite Crisis and I want to stop collecting comics entirely. |
