Are comic books basically just published fanfiction these days?

At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite after my whole "canon doesn't matter" rant, as far as I'm concerned, Infestation 2 is the Mirage Turtles. To the point where I made my own bootleg copy with greyscale scans that combines both issues into one, so it's chunky and in b&w like a Mirage book. I just ignore the Old Hob reference and I love that lil series to death.
