You missed an opportunity for more bait, op. You could have spelled superheroes as superhero's.

Escapism/power fantasy and there's something oddly comforting about big 2 status quo. Knowing a character will outlive me.

I'm just confused on how you can keep reading the same stories from different writers over and over. There's only so many times reading about a hero's origin is entertaining. Its like the Simpsons. I liked the show but at a certain point I just gave up on it

Seriously? You read comics and you're judging someone who watches cartoons? Is this what we've been reduced to

I learned a lot of ethics from comic books.
One in particular, it was about Spiderman trying desperately to stop the villianous Carnage from killing people and being hopelessly outmatched yet continuing heroically on nevertheless, I took it to school to read during free time, a teacher took it from me, called me a bad person, and then told me she would destroy it (with a little smirk on her face).
I learned about the abuse of power, systematic corruption, socially acceptable theft, hypocrisy, the inherent denial of justice to the weak, pointless cruelty, and delusional self-righiousness all from that one comic.

And I usually like the artwork too.

I feel like if they replaced Blue Marvel and America with better characters it'd be a much better book, but as it stands it's a pretty dull affair, at least in my opinion.

I do enjoy Rocafort's art, though.
