Tried reading the new Batman run vs the old Miller stuff side by side last night
I sat down with my coffee and read the first issue of the current Batman series and then followed it up with Year One. The difference in pacing and storytelling was night and day, the old stuff just grabbed me way tighter. Has anyone else felt like modern comics overthink it compared to the classics?

Man I had a buddy who swore by old comics and he'd fall asleep reading new ones every time.

Right? Modern comics feel like they're trying to solve a math problem while the old ones just told you a cool story. I swear, Miller could make a guy picking up a can of chili feel ten times more intense than a whole issue of someone staring at a wall. My buddy keeps leaving his new Batman trades around and I just end up reading Miller again instead.
