Superhero comics

               Superhero comics are more of my style. i grew up reading Batman and Justice League and Spider-Man, X-men and so forth. hell the first comic i ever owned/ read was Batman's Knightfall series, a series that was very dark and brutal. i also found Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns and was amazed that Batman as a character could be so deep. i have also watched as the superhero comics grew from the campy nature of the 60s, to the more dark and violent portrayals of today (even the extreme 90s) the documentaries i have watched all usually credit this darker shift in the protrayal to few people Frank Miller, and Alan Moore are the most notable. Miller being known for his work on Batman and Moore revitalizing Swamp Thing and written Watchmen. i do know that these two are not the only ones who deserve credit and others like Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison desreve credit and they often get it.
            I thank them for everything because if batman had stayed in his Adam West phase, i wouldn't even bother with him. i think the nature of the superhero comics is supposed to be dark or at least have a bit of grit in them, because having a superhero fly around in a guaddy costume can't be taken seriously unless we as the reader can feel for them and relate to them. current comics now have gotten better at having us relate to characters like superman better because they tend to bring them down to earth and dirty them up a bit. this makes the character feel more tangible and real than they should be.
