10 Comic Book Cliches That Need To Die

Those issues plaguing the comic book industry that makes things predictable and obvious.

Clichés. They're everywhere in pop culture, it's unavoidable. They're something that comes up over and over again. So often that they become predictable and laughable for how often they appear. While some are beloved and necessary for certain types of culture, there are some that have become more than a little irritating over time.
