I have been reading a lot of comics over the last couple of years and am noticing that a lot of plots are over used. I was wondering what you think are the most overused ones. Here are a couple I have noticed.
I am reading golden age Dc right now and it seems every hero bakc then had a story where they are breaking up a gambling den or stopping thugs from blackmailing a sports star into throwing a fight.
I have also noticed a lot of this over the years. Crime is on the rise. A reform candidate runs with the promise of stopping the mobs. And shocker it turns out that he is in the pockets of the mobs after all.
The protection racket also gets a lot of play.
So what are some of yours.
