Same applies in the comics, though, for the same reason.
In the sixties comics were aimed at pre-high-school boys who had little to no sense of bad writing such as Pym's lines in his first panel above. The audience today is far more diverse and conscious of such terrible dialogue.
Whedon's writing in his X-Men comics run from about 15 years ago is very similar to the Avengers movies -- just night-and-day better than the panels above.
From an art standpoint I'm not sure things have improved much. There have been guys who are perhaps more adept in certain ways, but in the sense you usually mean -- art as a means of telling a story and enhancing its value -- that doesn't seem superior today, at least based on the few comics I've read in recent years.
