Part of the frustration I have when comics try to justify their crazy things is that I already know there's a really good chance than whatever handwaving or scientific pseudo-babble they're using is going to get rewritten or retconned or shuffled into the non-canon box eventually.

Therefore even when I'm reading it for the first time, my brain is going "skim, skim!" and being annoyed that they're using up pages of that could be filled with More Awesome Id-Filled Things for 'explanations' that everyone knows 1) are usually nonsense and 2) aren't going to matter in the long run anyway.
