I suppose something significant could be said about stages of life there. I don't remember the last actual comic book we picked up. (But I know it wasn't Marvel or DC.) I got the Firefly comics in book for. We sold off a lot of our collection for the down payment on the house. I suppose something significant could be said about stages of life there.

Now, it just seems like a mess, full of "events" that kinda smell like "Secret Wars II." Now that I'm so frickin' old, I'm lured by the appeal of DC's icons, but they're just a mess, trying to have dueling "events" with Marvel and trying to give those icons some sort of edge.

Hubby and I read a lot of Marvel, "way back when" before it seemed every character appeared in half a dozen titles and half of 'em contradicted each other. I liked Alpha Flight. Been a long time.
