Dropping Comics As Separation Anxiety

There are lot of articulate statements from comics fans regarding their reading habits for one to devour in this two-part discussion at Evan Dorkin's on-line platform. I think I liked best this ramble by Dorkin himself, where he talks about both the fact that dropping comics is a bigger decision than just accepting or refusing a reading experience, and that while comics have retained a number of fans by investing in a storytelling experience that rewards long-time devotion you're probably leaving out some readers who enjoyed the merits of the original concept more than the soap opera construct that came along to support it.
