Fair enough. Perhaps my problem is, instead, that I don't like the comic book medium. Though I've read comic books that didn't seem so terribly pleased with their own coolness. That didn't seem so "by fanboys, for fanboys." Such things, like fanfiction, sometimes seem puzzling to outsiders.

I prefer that one idea or concept or story is adapted from one medium to another, I want it to be using that medium for a reason. If it's a play adapted to a film, I want it to use what film has to offer; I don't want it to seem too much like a play. I guess the same goes for Graphic Novels. This didn't do it for me. But, hey, strokes/folks.
