Y'know, that's the same reason I stopped reading comics. Reason I got INTO comics was too many of them sucked and I would write and/or draw something that I and my friends would like.
Comics go downhill for several reasons. #1 reason is people working on the comic ( usually the editors and suits ) who don't listen to what the fans want. The fans are like votes. When they buy a comic and write a fan letter they had better be listened to.
If you don't please your fans you're cutting your own throat.
Then you had 'gimmick' stuff. Foil covers, holographic doo-dads, everything EXCEPT a good story and art.
Over the past 10 years, so many hack artists who couldn't tell a story to save their lives got popular and then the books and companies died. They blame the web and video games but that's bullshit. It's a simple case of not producing things that are interesting and make the fans happy.
