really its a genre convetnion. Besides the tactical advantages of a close in fighter (terrain, temamates/opponents as cover, extra versatility) you also have the fact that you appear more herioc if your at risk. A close in fighter appears more heroic then a far off blaster. I think the latter is the main reason you see more in most comics.
