I don't know. At least in Marvel one know what buy. You have the ultimate
line for new readers that'll read again and again the tale of Spidey vs. The
Green Goblin and the Marvel Knights seal with very good writers like B.M.
Bendis, Garth Ennis... you have Brian Azzarello and Corben on the Banner
miniseries, Grant Morrison on New X Men (the issue with Wolverine and
Cyclops drinking in the Hell's Fire Club was amazing!!) and now Neil Gaiman
in 1602.

The matter I can't understand is that Jean Piaget sect who produce dumb,
simple comics for kids... We was kids of the same age when we read Carl
Barks stories!!!
