So, I'm assuming the folks bashing the comic book nerds either don't own TVs or only watch documentaries? Because if you enjoy any fiction, it's the same. It's an escape outlet. Like sports. Something to lose yourself in for a couple of hours. And if it makes someone forget their rather mundane life, what's the harm? Other than being the type of person who always has to say, "soccer isn't a real sport," wrestling isn't real," and "comic books are for losers." People like different things and thank god they do. If not life would be full of folks who like Morgan Wallen and the Kardashians.
