2. ALL Comics are Gimmicks

“Gimmick” is just a word for “thing I don’t like”, like “biased” or “click-bait”. They’ve lost all meaning.

Guys, every comic you like is a gimmick. Your reaction to the story might be “Oh, so Cap’s HYDRA now? What a gimmick!” But let’s play around with that.

The Dark Knight Returns? Oh, so Batman’s all old and angry now? What a gimmick!

All-Star-Superman? Oh, so Superman’s dying? Again? What a gimmick!

Avengers Four? Oh, so they’re just gonna bring Steve Rogers back and make him an Avenger? WHAT A GIMMICK!

Civil War? Oh, so Cap and Iron Man are fighting all of a sudden? WHAT A GI—you get it. I don’t need to provide any more examples.

…

Watchmen? Oh, so they’re just gonna do new versions of all the old Charlton Comics characters but now they’re all angsty and dark and stuff, What a gimmick!

Sorry, I had to get in one more.
