You could make a case that diary of a wimpy kid is a form of sequential art.

I don't think anyone needs to feel offended or enraged though.

Love the article.

 If you think about it though, in a universe with all the technological advances of the DCU, there should be a cure for cancer readily available.

I bet you some artists add to a comic script and some don't. Just like some directors add to a film script and make it a fully realized work, or some directors are just there to film a script. 

Either way, generalizations always tend to be false. You have to take it on a case by case basis.

You could agrue that Watchmen was more trouble than it was worth. You could say Watchmen and DKR almost killed the comic industry (not that this is my opinion).

Every second rate writer in the comic industry during the early to mid ninties was trying to replicate the success of these two books, leading to a lot of crappy comics in both mainstream and indie comics.

@CaseyJustice

he already had his own line of comics (america's best comics).

I think Neal Adams is the most overrated comic book artist of all time.

His layouts are fantastic, but I think everything else just looks average. His old work was very simlar to newspaper adventure comic strips in their photorealistic nature, but I thought actual comic strip artists like Alex Raymond, Al Williamson and Hal Foster had already done the style better than he had. I think Neal Adams just had the added benefit of drawing very popular characters. I think he newer stuff just looks extremely generic. 

Of course this is blasphemous to most comic fans.

I think that generally event comics tend to have more flaws. Plot holes are addressed in tie ins, and the story itself has to hit certain beats. 

Whats odd is that in theory I love Geoff Johns stories, but his execution of them makes him one of those writers I actively avoid.
