    I’ve always thought that if comics are a part of pop culture [then] they should reflect pop culture, but a lot of the time comics, superhero comics especially, just feed on themselves.

    Self-publishing in comics is core to the whole artform. There is no scarlet letter in comics as there still is, to some degree, in prose.
