It's certainly not how it was marktted and hyped. I recall Lowe saying it drove him to tears or was one of the most emotionally resonant stories ever etc
Of course defense to that will be "he has to hype up the book"
But there's not really much point in debating the "it's supposed to be junk food" argument and dealing with the righteous indignation that someone paying for a comic dare want something more out of it, how the reader is wrong, etc.
It's a silly argument to make. I'll just continue to vote with my wallet.
