Why the use of thought bubble in comics declined?

In the Wolverine miniseries, Frank Miller was the first person to get Chris Claremont to stop talking for like four pages in a row, during the tense final duel.

I know people say "ahead of his time" too much, but Frank Miller really did establish modern comic book storytelling, and when you are reading Daredevil and get up to Miller's run, it suddenly switches from feeling dated (and even the good bits definitely feel old) into feeling like something that could have been made today.

Totally, though that has it's own charm. But I think a big thing is how he generally collaborated with artists well - he got on the same page with Miller, even if it's now how he normally writes. So you similarly have very different results when he collaborates with Sienkiewicz, Cockrum, Byrne etc

Bendis tried to bring them back in one of his mid-2000s Avengers books (I want to say Mighty Avengers?) but it didn't really stick

Yes! I remember that - it really did feel awkward and dated. It's a pity though because the later part of Mighty Avengers when Slott takes over is actually pretty good.

Edit: I vaguely recall that one of the artists was doing the writing for part of that Bendis run though?

The whole answer is 11 paragraphs long

Speaking of Chris Claremont being loquacious :D
