I am not a fan of the magical quick fix in any fiction, including fantasy, scifi and comic books.

My father was sleepless most of his life. So by the age of five, I was awake with him all night long, watching bad television or we'd lie in the same bed, and I'd read my comic books while he read his latest spy or mystery novel. ↗
