    I thought we were past this....

    What's up with all the hating on graphic novels?...(and yes, I am referring to them as graphic novels.)

    I thought it was pretty well established that the genre has reached new heights of depth and sophistication, and it's achieved the respect and acclaim of many critics and scholars. After all, Time magazine declared Alan Moore's Watchmen as one of the 100 greatest books of the twentieth century. I haven't heard anyone deny that it's a masterpiece.

    (By the way, this isn't a defense of the movie Fantanstic Four. I pretty much hated it.)
