Mirage comics = Dark and Gritty?

Grimlock · 08-06-2013, 01:14 AM

Why do fans of the Mirage comic books choose to describe the Mirage comics as dark and gritty? Does that make them cool? I have recently read through Vol. 1 thanks to the Ultimate Collections and I have to say, the stories were not ''dark''. They were actually pretty lighthearted. And gritty, is that supposed to describe the god awful artwork these ''artists'' put to paper?

What is the appeal of these comics?
