@Allie_Ho: Well, mainstream media, in general is quite unoriginal, but it depends what you're looking for, i guess. The medium and those who run i tend to be portrayed as the bad guys, but in truth, they are generally only reflecting what the public want. So, for example, comic companies publish stories of a certain type because that's, traditionally what people buy. I think if you want something different, that is out there too, but you just have to try a little harder. But in answer to your question, i do think that mainstream comics are unoriginal, but i think that's their purpose.

im pretty sure they try to be innovative but its mainstream, just like mainstream movies and music are redundant
