Got into a heated debate about Frank Miller's Dark Knight at a con in Austin last weekend

This guy kept insisting it was overrated and I snapped, bringing up panels from memory. Ended up standing there for 45 minutes arguing about panel layouts outside the convention hall, has anyone else had a comic debate spiral like that?

Dude, I just read this great piece breaking down Miller's use of the grid structure in those scenes, how the panels tighten up to match the rising tension. It really changed how I look at that whole second issue with the mutant leader fight. Thirty minutes flew by like nothing when I was arguing about the symbolism of the rain washing the blood off the sidewalk in those later pages.

Yeah just walk away after ten minutes, you got better things to do.

@torres.blair I hear you, but sometimes a good debate just feels worth it, you know?
