Perhaps I should clarify...it's not so much the boxes that annoy me. It's the way they try to imitate the old-school creators as they do it. That was awesome back in the 60s/70s. But not modern comics.
It was still awesome in the 80's and parts of the 90's until they decided that the references given might interfere with the continuity of the newer stories, so they were halted altogether.
And who's to say that "modern comics" are better? What does "modern comics" even mean? More mature content with a few f-bombs thrown in (like the Max or Vertigo lines?)
Comics are meant to be entertaining, just like picking up a book from the 70's that can have an entertaining story is no different than picking an entertaining story from 2 years ago...
And even though the times, they have a'changed... it's no reason for the creators of today to not try and imitate what once was part of what the creators of yesteryear did right the first time...
Just my two cents...
