For nearly 20 years I bought $10 to $15 of comic books
every week. Once that got me a fistful of comics, but no matter how well off I
am I can't rationalize that the same amount of money now gets me perhaps two or
three 22-page comics. Still I stop by a comics shop every few weeks and pick up
something off of the new rack. This week it was Iron Fist: The Living Weapon
#8, which turned out to be a Buddhist version of Dante's Inferno. Some of the
smartest, most intellectually curious, and well read people I've ever met work
in comics. Glad to see that trend continues, even if the business model is a
wreck.
