Why do all comics eventually degenerate into masturbatory excess?
Are there any that actually manage to stay grounded and not go to shit?

It'd be neat to see some chart like this for DC.
>>
Yes, most but you're clearly more interested in feeling superior for not reading an entire medium so I won't bother recommending.
>>
Do you only read Marvel and DC superhero comics?

Try American Splendor. It stays very grounded, very coherent and very believable.

Read something other than capeshit, you moron. Especially Big Two capeshit.

Shit like that is only the natural consequence of a shared universe that lasts for decades and has a shitload of titles by a shitload of writers. There's no way to keep it simple if you've got that much stuff going on for that long.

The only reasonable answer to all "why are comics shit?"-type questions is "because you only read shit."

Not for decades. Good stories end.

That's because they don't sell and get canceled.

It's a never ending story

That means you have to constantly add new plot elements

That means comics are fucking terrible because they never stop

Stop reading capeshit
