And here’s the scoop: Too Cool To Be Forgotten? The book Matthew Brady brings up? It’s total crap. Well drawn, but sentimental trash. A nonsensical book that I loathed. Don’t know what Matthew Brady sees in it, and I love the guy like I love hot kisses. I can’t speak to Green Lantern, but that rage of the red lanterns thing was pretty awful too. I’m not sure which one is worse–i mean, Red was cheaper, but it had that whole vomiting thing going on. Most comics–most of the ones Marvel publishes, DC, Fantagraphics, Top Shelf, AiT, Drawn & Quarterly, Pantheon, Image, and…oh, I don’t know. Anybody else, including manga. They aren’t good. I don’t care if they’ve got Superman or they’ve got Wah Wah The Crying Rabbit And His Sensitive Feelings. Bad is bad, yes, it’s universal. You don’t get to turn me into an art first snob for the purpose of your argument–one, because I’m not an art first snob, I’m a hate-first jerk, and two, because this Isn’t An Argument. It’s a statement of irritation at terminology, of definition, and of the attitude that Lucas wasn’t being just as insulting as a guy who said “hey, you’re a stuff and stuff.
