Thru-out much of my career I have complained about the tendency of some writers to do what I call "Hiya guys!" dialog -- that is, dialog in which everyone has the same "street level" candences, without consideration of who the character is, what their background is, what sort of speech education they might have had.Flip thru a lot of ^^***** books, and without looking at the pictures it's often hard to tell who is speaking. And while not looking at the pictures is, of course, immediately not using the comics properly, the reader should not have to look at the pictures to know that's Spider-Man speaking, and not Captain America. It's symptomatic of perhaps the single most important thing lacking in ^^***** comics today -- GRANDEUR.
