      I think they have. They’re the highest paid and most well known. That’s what defines an era unfortunately. It’s what defines status quo

        What’s popular and “well known” is rarely, if ever, innovative. Established comics are always the most boring and hacky of their time. They may have been fresh and innovative once, but once they’re at the top, they just become tired shells of what they once were. The actual trend setters are the up-and-comers. That’s who define the era.
