Watched a guy at NY Comic Con 2023 argue for 20 minutes about whether Batman could beat Superman in a fight
I used to just roll my eyes at those debates but this dude was so laser focused and passionate about it he actually made me think about why I read comics in the first place. He broke down specific issues and page layouts from like 5 different runs. Kinda made me realize I was just skimming stories and not really digging into them. Has anyone else had a random fan change how they look at their pull list?

That thing about breaking down specific issues and page layouts is key. I remember reading some interview with Tom King where he talked about how every panel is a choice and that stuck with me. Now when I read something like his Batman run I catch myself looking at how the artist uses the gutter space between panels, which sounds pretentious but it really does change how you see a fight scene. Makes you wonder how much we miss just flipping through.

Doesn't it feel like you start noticing things you never saw before once someone points them out?
