      Full disclosure: Yes, we're related, but I never name-drop because that's tacky. Also, I've followed Chris' work since the 80s, and I've interviewed and written about him several times. I know what I'm talking about.

      Sorry, I'm probably going to go on about comics and their criticism in general today. Bear with me.

      Comics criticism is a hopeless endeavor. It's one reason I've largely given it up.

      Really appreciate that you use your platform of 200K+ followers to discourage people from writing comics criticism. Many of us are still fighting the hard fight to shine light on the comics medium.

      I'm just frustrated at the fact it's 2019 and I'm still seeing the same wrong-headed takes I saw in, I dunno, 1993 ("Chris Ware is too depressing").

      It does feel odd that, while there are more interesting comics coming out regularly than in the past, criticism is lagging far behind. I don’t think that editors at many outlets know enough about it to help things along.

      As a comics publicist, my hope is that Jeet's editors at The New Republic and The Nation are not looking at Twitter today.

      Comics Criticism needs less consumer guides and more of an assumption that the work in question is valid but the ideas it expresses need to be engaged. I actually see a lot of people doing that these days.

      But! The people doing that don't work for larger media outlets. I think there's more of a deep engagement with comics than ever before but it's underground and chaotic.

      Right, there's a rich discourse on Facebook/podcasts/blogs/TCJ (which I enjoy & benefit from) but the mainstream discussion hasn't moved beyond 2003.

          Mainstream discussion of most culture is horrible, I dont get the connection of comics criticsm being hopeless.
