Thoughts on Character Development

What kind of comic do you want?  Not the story or the genre, but the focus.  Plot or character?  I love many of the superstar superheroes.  I grew up watching them on Saturday morning with a bowl of Frosted Flakes.  In fact, I had to get up first every morning to get to the remote.  The rule in our house (with four other brothers trying to do the same) was whoever gets to the remote first, gets to watch what they want for the morning.  I rarely missed my cartoons.  But with that said, not much has changed.  What does change is scrubbed old again not too long after.  I think the most interesting comics are character studies.  The problem is fans (can’t change with them, can’t drive a Porsche without ‘em) often weigh heavy on the decisions of the creators, editors, and writers.  Wonder Woman can't even change her costume without fans taking sides.  There are many great characters that are static and there are many more that grow in some way.  The big guys seemed to be picking up on this.  More of the heroes seem to be placed in “real” harm with “real” consequences.  But then they usually reboot or say it was a clone/imposter/robot/cyborg/alternate universe.
