My 10-year-old nephew asked me why I only collect superhero comics now | Comic Book Fans - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
That's a sharp question from a ten-year-old. I guess I just like the simple comfort of knowing the good guys win now. Adult life has enough gray areas without my comics having them too.
Wait, wait - did you seriously just ask if Watchmen is "grim for the sake of it"? You read the part where a ten-year-old gets her mom killed by cops and the whole thing is basically a revenge story, right?
