I Miss the 90s

Yeah, as I said earlier, the horrible things in the 90s have gotten a lot of focus lately because they're from the childhoods of most of the current generation of comic readers, but they were also a time where works from other genres besides super heroes started to get a foothold in the mainstream, which is a very important step in the development of any artistic medium.

Such as?

Your statement is pretty ironic. The 90s were the years of the big comic implosion, when comic book disappeared from mainstream shops into the ghettos.

Not to get off topic but, Just because comic is a superhero comic doesn't make it lesser than non superhero comics. It all depends on the comic itself, the writer and the artist, and the story they tell. And it also doesn't mean that the artistic medium was stifled because of superhero comics. From what I have heard comics in the 90s became heavily influenced and guided by the artists, and the writers and story sort of came second. So during the 90s the artists have free range to almost do whatever they wanted, according to what I have heard. During that time I am sure the artists and styles had room to grow more. Plus technology was getting better, the use of computers in comic art.
If comics didn't happen the way they were during the 90s, would comics be what they are today?
