Sorry, I missed this reply. I'm sure you've been anxiously awaiting my response.
I have no idea what your perspective on comics are. In other words, I don't know if you read them as a kid or a teen, read them now or have a particular era of comics that you gravitate towards. For example, on the whole, I really don't like the Golden or Silver age comics. I can tolerate some of the later Bronze age stuff (early 80s) but my formative comic book years are absolutely modern. As such, all the old Captain America, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc... nonsense is lost on me. I find it uninteresting because it's clearly inspired by the time period it was written in. Captain America punching Hitler. Superman being an allegory for immigrants in the United States. Those comics were rarely about the characters but instead about whatever political or global issue they were up against. As part of the modern era, now we get more introspective and start to break down the actual characters themselves. How did they get this way? What are their personal demons that shape and influence how they act? Tony Stark becoming an alcoholic wasn't s story arc in the 1960s because he was too busy fighting Communism.
Anyway, for me comics like Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns are what I'm drawn towards and the Jessica Jones comic (Alias) is in that vein because it's more focused on the character, not some type of external evil force that is threatening the world. I actually started my comic interest with the X-Men in the mid to late 1980s and reading them was like reading a soap opera with mutans. Yes, they were fighting external evil forces but they all had their own problems or personal demons that turned them into more believable characters - not one dimensional Hitler face-punching cliches.
Does that clear things up?
