Yeah, tbh that aspect of comics art in the 90’s was a large reason I stopped reading serial comics. I wasn’t the raging liberal I am today, but even as a teenager it seemed like they were sacrificing any semblance of story for t&a, especially when they created Image.
The other part of that is that I got a copy of Maus from the Scholastic book fair. It fundamentally changed how I saw comics and the soap opera nature of superhero comics just lost my interest. Unfortunately, I also missed a lot of the amazing things that happened in the past 20 years or so in superhero comics, but that’s what trade paperbacks are for, I guess.
