The trouble is, the next time a journalist goes back to an editor and says, "Great, can we do a story about comics?" They go, "No, we did one." Nobody ever seems to do that with movies. They don't say, "Well, hey, we reviewed a movie is 1988. Look, it says here we reviewed a movie in 1988. Look, it says here we reviewed a novel in 1991, our readers will be bored with it." But that really is the phenomenon you get with comics. Most papers say if they did it once, then they did it.
