You’re certainly entitled to hold them in whatever esteem you desire. I think your brush is a tad broad, but it’s your brush to hold. Personally, I think that punishing creators who weren’t with the company then (and who were parts of that same indie movement that you say they, Marvel and DC harmed) benefits no one who wants good comics, but I can understand why you feel that way. From what I’ve seen, the indie market goes through such cycles over and over again. At least once every 10 years we go through it…and I don’t think the six biggest publishers flooding the market help them, but as often as not they doom themselves.
