Love Chabon but wish that he wouldn't refer to superheroes as being silly. I understand what he's trying to say, and that he means silly in a fun and entertaining way, but it always comes across to me that he has a slight embarrassment when it comes to his love of comics.
Well said.

See, and I think FF will always be a Silver Age comic (if not THE Silver age comic). That is its golden age and by far its best run. Since Kirby left, FF's sales have been in decline and it has never been one of Marvel's powerhouse titles (though it holds a special place due to its history).
But I think in an era in which every comic book, and its adaptation, is in a race to see how dark and moody it can be, it is worth holding up FF as the Light. The fact we instinctively see that as a negative is a bit of a shame.
FF IS silly. That's why its so great.
