Subtitle = "Rise of the Imperfects"

Is the only comics fan category "self-deprecating dead-ender"? Let's check out some "book" names:

The Outsiders
Runaways
The Losers
NYX or NYC or some junk, I forget
Inhumans
R.A. Salvatore: whiny, pure-hearted member of historically welfare-drawing societal subclass
Six examples, and only the first three are actually legitimate. NY anything fails to strike a chord of despair in me, the Inhumans were invented about 40 fucking years ago, and R.A. Salvatore, while awful, doesn't remotely figure in, as all 206 books of his for sale on amazon carry the usual bullshit phantasy titles.

Also: why does everyone refer to these damn things as "books"? 22 pages of anything can at best be called a pamphlet. Hint: it sounds even more stupid when you try to impose legitimacy upon comics. Far better to let the work speak for itself, than force its scope to overreach.
This was a totally slamming argument about 15 years ago, then somebody went and made this and made you look anachronistic and stupid.
