Do modern glossy paper bother anyone else?

A year or two ago, DC switched over to a non-glossy paper for their books (or at least the ones I was reading) and it was GREAT. The texture of newsprint but a little heartier, soaked up the color well and didn't glare. I dropped moderns a while back, so I don't know if they stuck with that paper stock or not, but they ARE still using it with (some) of their collections, and it's fantastic. I hated the crinkly glossy tissue like paper, but this newer stuff is great.

That was a problem with some collected editions I got in the early 2000s.

For wavy-looking paper, the Wolverine Origin hardcover was terrible.

Ugh, yes, terrible stuff. Even new on the shelf they looked like they'd been dropped in a puddle.
