Like Cory can afford comics after wasting all his money on crack and hookers. If you are, don't tell me about it because I will come to your house, open up your refrigerator, stick your head in the door and slam it on you a few times.
Comics are like any other art form.
Most of it is crap, and you have to dig hard for the good stuff. The problem with comic books is that they are no longer a mass medium. In the 30's and 40's when comics first showed up, people read everything. Novels, pulp magazines, and comics sold in huge numbers, because it was before television invades the homes of America and made us a bunch of fat losers who want to get out entertainment intravenously from a big cathode ray tube. In the 50's the coming of television, combined with parental groups who were upset that little Johnny was reading comics about vampires and criminals, drove comes into a sort of long twilight.
