For those of you that read superhero comics, what do you look for in a cape comic?

For those of you that read superhero comics, what do you look for in a cape comic? Do you care about how something fits within a larger cape world/universe or do you simply want a great story with interesting characters and all that? If there is a case in which it's out-of-character and continuity, do you dismiss it as a mistake, or do you not care about that stuff? Do you go out of your way to read material that's not as good just to get the full picture or because of importance?
I feel like I don't like most beloved runs because I don't care about character or universe lore. I just look for at least decent writing, good art, and an ability for a run/series to stand on its own.

    >Do you care about how something fits within a larger cape world/universe or do you simply want a great story with interesting characters and all that?
    All I care about are well-written self-contained stories/runs.
    >If there is a case in which it's out-of-character and continuity, do you dismiss it as a mistake, or do you not care about that stuff?
    See above; it is impossible to have cohesive character or continuity in a universe controlled by dozens of different writers, hence why I prefer works from a single creator that involve no understanding of or input by other creators working on other stories.
    >Do you go out of your way to read material that's not as good just to get the full picture or because of importance?
    Absolutely not.

      Somewhat like me.

      I don't anymore. I've read to much where now these characters‚ settings and stories just feel meaningless despite how much I cared about them years ago.

      >For those of you that read superhero comics, what do you look for in a cape comic?
      Good writing, good story, faithfulness to character and continuity, good art, in that order.
      >Do you care about how something fits within a larger cape world/universe or do you simply want a great story with interesting characters and all that?
      Depends on the story. If the story is disrespectful to characters I like I'll hate on it regardless of how it fits in the larger universe.
      >If there is a case in which it's out-of-character and continuity, do you dismiss it as a mistake, or do you not care about that stuff?
      No, you have to get obnoxious about it online or the bad characterization will become the new characterization.
      >Do you go out of your way to read material that's not as good just to get the full picture or because of importance?
      Yes. I've gotta have my Batman.

      I think it's best to never care about the characters before a story. Saves you the heartache, so to speak. I expect a good comic to make me care.
      >Good writing, good story, faithfulness to character and continuity, good art, in that order.
      Wow, good art that far back?

        A great story can shine even with bad art but even the greatest art can't redeem a dogshit story. Look at the last 5 years of Batman for examples.

      The problem is that Superhero comics are a neverending loop of uselessness. Nothing in those stories matter.

    Are you asking about people who read MODERN comics? Because those people don't exist.

    This feels a little paradoxical, because normally a generally accepted standard of decent writing is consistent characterization.

    I'm not too interested in comics as I dropped them years ago, but I really enjoy most of Superman's moments in DC casually.

    Good action.

    >Do you care about how something fits within a larger cape world/universe or do you simply want a great story with interesting characters and all that?
    A great story, interesting characters, and storylines that don't last more than a few issues.

    >If there is a case in which it's out-of-character and continuity, do you dismiss it as a mistake, or do you not care about that stuff?
    I accept it as something that happens when a character has been around for a long time and has been written by multiple authors. I can put up with it if it's not too bad.

    >Do you go out of your way to read material that's not as good just to get the full picture or because of importance?
    No.

    >I feel like I don't like most beloved runs because I don't care about character or universe lore. I just look for at least decent writing, good art, and an ability for a run/series to stand on its own.
    That's really how it should be.
