One of the boilerplate arguments against comic books be taken seriously as literature, as perfectly immortalised by Michael Kupperman, is the high density of superpowered scrapping within their pages. Usually, any story that's being played out within the pages of a comic are all just set up for people to have a big fight at the end. It's the only thing that's more predictable than crossover events, or Frank Miller saying something racist. There's been considerable pushback against this particular clichéd, hackneyed narrative recently, but it's a stereotype for a reason. Out of your collection, try counting how many issues of your comics are mostly people having a tussle. So many! Not that big, bombastic action scenes are always terrible. Far from it, in fact. It's just that, much like splash pages, there's a right way and a wrong way to do them, and it shouldn't be the default setting for all superhero stories to end with.
