And his writing also comes off kinda pretentious. Maybe its just me though.

It's not just you. I really don't care for him either. Nobody talks like regular people in his books. It's all this pretentious dialogue. And, with maybe the exception of All Star Superman, I never get emotionally involved in his books. It's like they are devoid of emotion. And from the stuff of his that I've read, I've rarely understood what exactly was going on. I think he's highly overrated.
