9. Fanboys...
Some comic book fans are so jaded these days that you wonder why they even bother reading comics at all (and yes, we are aware of the irony of that comment coming from a rant piece about modern comics!).
If you are a regular comics reader, it is likely impossible to overstate just how many times youve read a comic, thoroughly enjoyed it and then headed over to the Internet, only to find every reviewer on earth slagging it off ad nauseum.

Well, heres an idea, fanboy, maybe you shouldnt be surprised if a long-running serial repeats itself occasionally.
