I’m reading a lot of 80s comics right now. I used to pretend that nothing good ever came from the 80s, for music and fashion are that still holds true, but comics, comics did all right. They were super chatty,and I feel like that’s bleeding over right now.

I collected comics in the mid 90s for a few years, took a five year break, and when I came back, I remember the books reading quite a bit faster. There were a few issues from Marvel’s Ultimate line that I remember picking up, reading, and putting down in under three minutes, what happened to all the words!?! It was just pictures, there was nothing to read, and I don’t really go for that.

And even here, where I’m packing in a lot of chatter, I’m not squeezing in as much as those books in the 80s did. Someday, I’ll just give up the pictures altogether. It’ll be a page full of panel borders and dialog bubbles. That’s the dream.
