Like submerge the industry into nearly ten years of "XTREME!!!!!!11eleventy" crap. I know Moore and Miller and the like didn't mean to do it, but unfortunately their contributions were 'copied' by lesser writers and it nearly destroyed the industry.


What? I don't follow...

I've always understood the industry was almost crushed because of investors who didn't know anything about it and were looking for a safety net during the recession of the early 90's. They bought any comic they could get their hands on, which forced companies to ramp production, then when it ended the publishers tanked.
