The comment that this page reiterates concerns the garish, collectible candy that Marvel and DC have made their stock-in-trade.

Folks who prefer their science fiction from the likes of Jack Womack, Cormack McCarthy or any of the masters of science fiction need not be concerned.

Move along please, there's nothing to see here.

I would like to mention that DC, under its Vertigo imprint, has published some terrific adult-oriented comics (including Sandman). Not all comics involve dimension-hoping shapeshifting vampires from outer space out to destroy NY (and even some "regular" comics, like Frank Miller's Daredevil, have had some good plotting, art and character development).
