No, no. But it has an effect on the market in general, i.e. the stores. Certainly anything Marvel does has a ripple effect. I don't think that's a controversial point.
And I never said that. I'm not so black and white. What I said is that the genre can do a lot, but that what it can accomplish is still limited. There's plenty that can be done within those limits. But the genre is not comics itself and some take it that way.
I mean, if I say the horror genre is limited, that doesn't mean I think it's worthless. I'm simply saying that a genre has unavoidable tropes by definition and there's only so much it can do. An example. A horror comic that doesn't scare is not a horror comic, it's either something else or a bad horror comic.
As entertainment at least there's a lot I like. Like BLACKEST NIGHT right now and a lot of Geoff Johns' work, even though I'm very critical of it as well.
