A Comics Concern

While I will never out grow comics, I feel like I am beginning to outgrow the need to have full runs of certain comics. New Comics Day used to be a time of some anticipation but I find myself increasingly "blahed" by what is on the shelf and more and more am buying books because I always have. Don't get me wrong, there are a few books that still hold my interest and that I feel some pull to see where the story is headed but the real zing of book that makes me want to re-read it to see if I have missed anything has alluded me for some time. I just can't get enthused about the latest secret battle or cosmic crisis. I just don't have it in me anymore to care about these "people" and what happens to them. And the sad thing is that in 90% of the books that I get, the art isn't even worth looking at anymore.

So have I, despite all my efforts, finally grown up?

Or do I just need some better writers?
