I've been noticing this a lot in newer comics, mostly by younger cartoonists. I find it kind of maddening and unsatisfying. A book can be really fun and endearing, then suddenly it's over and nothing's happened. It's like "ok, I guess that's what they intended, but... meh."
-
And, like, "meh" isn't how I want to walk away from a book, y'know?

"Annihilation" by Jeff Vandermeer is IMO the pinnacle of atmospheric fiction. It was recently made into a movie and they wisely decided to change the plot to fit the screen but kept the atmosphere front and center.
-
It also makes the book highly re-readable: you're there not for the plot but for the immersion in the story's ambience.
