* the writer and critic David Brothers reiterates that he's not buying crappy comics any more. This may seem weird if you've mostly lived outside the powerful influence of Direct Market mainstream comics buying habits, and not strange at all if you've spent any time in that general neighborhood.
* finally, I get the sentiment displayed here that webcomics represent artists with a completely different set of influences than one might feel typical arising out of most print comics communities. However, I suspect that bit of conventional wisdom misrepresents the number of alt/art only fans out there, or strip-only fans out there, and artists for these areas as well, that really don't understand or view superhero comics in the way that we omni-nerds do as we pop between these sub-cultural traditions and come at the form with a wide variety of idiosyncratic influences.
