Marvel has put out good product. DC has put out good product. Even Image has put out good product, as far as I'm concerned... although it's few and far between. But it's not getting recognized, no matter who's doing it.
I hate it when I'm reading a comic, and the dialogue looks like stickers stuck on top to explain what's going on.
