My 10-year-old nephew asked me why I only collect superhero comics now

That's a sharp question from a ten-year-old. I guess I just like the simple comfort of knowing the good guys win now. Adult life has enough gray areas without my comics having them too.

Watchmen taught me more about real heroes than any cape comic ever could.

Watchmen is just grim for the sake of it. Sometimes you just want a hero who saves the day.

Wait, wait - did you seriously just ask if Watchmen is "grim for the sake of it"? You read the part where a ten-year-old gets her mom killed by cops and the whole thing is basically a revenge story, right?
