A lot of things you consume when you are younger looks bad when you are older. Tastes change. Experience gives you insight. Unfortunately that’s just life.
This article would have been more interesting 10-15 years ago or so (DKR was first published in 1986!). I don’t remember the industry as a whole evolving for the better until after the speculation phase. And then we all wisen up. This article brings out the old condescending man in me: “you finally got it kid, good job”.
And there’s lots of new, better comics! The author never thought to branch out? Just “taught me hate them?”
Again: it's likely the author didn't even write the headline, especially since the sentiment doesn't occur really anywhere in the piece itself. I'm having trouble believing someone who is this deeply acquainted with Miller is somehow unaware of Maus.
