I'm So Sick of Superman

The stigma against American published comic books is that the market is dominated by dry, outdated superheroes. Titles like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man appeal to a wide number of audiences in the theaters, but the source material sells to only the specific niche that it’s aimed at. DC and Marvel are perceived to have control over the industry, but that’s not necessarily true. Creator-owned series like Invincible, The Walking Dead, Scott Pilgrim, and Bone, which are quietly moving units in bookstores and comic shops across the nation, show that not all American graphic novels are as stale as some believe.
