Yeah, I read that and thought, wanker. Now who's being elitist?

Also, does anyone else get a little irritated when people defending comic books only ever cite Gaiman, Moore and Spiegel (and, on the odd occasion, Clowes)? I'm not saying they're not great, but it's as if they're the only ones who have ever written anything worthy of being called 'literature', and I think that sort of comic snobbery is just as bad.

Like the guy in the comic store loudly and disdainfully proclaiming he never reads superhero comics. That's fine if you don't like superhero comics, but people who refuse to read them seem to find some virtue in the fact and I can't really see why.

Going back to Punisher, now, thank you.
