Nowadays, the phrase “superhero fatigue” is tossed around like a ping pong ball at a kegger. There is recent evidence to suggest there is no such thing though for DC and Marvel, be it cinematically, on the small screen or in the comic book realm, but Invincible and The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is offering up a different view of why he feels some are indeed checking out of the space entirely.Kirkman feels it’s out of sheer boredom, or a variation of it, that’s rooted in an alleged lack of innovation in the comic book industry — one that he believes is far too dependent upon the franchise quarterbacks of DC Comics (Superman, Batman), Marvel Comics (Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men) and Skybound (Transformers).(If only the industry would make, say, Spawn a franchise player, amirite?)
