Like clockwork.
seriously, you could do a bingo card with these threads - it never fails
Superhero comics should be structured like manga, instead of constant reboots with revolving artists and writers, let a single team work on one captain america story for 5 years that has a clear beginning and end. Also, get rid of the canon. Let writers be able to do whatever they want with their story without having to worry about years of universe building.
like this post, its half good and half terrible
i like the idea of only running a book when a team has material, but franchise characters won't see that model sadly
but getting rid of cannon entirely is a great way to shit on longtime readers, we already have enough reluanches/etc and older or alternate stories get told constantly as well
Comic book stores are a factor.
Ideally, floppies (I'll be referring to the 22 page comic as a floppy) should be $.99 digitally, but this would hurt store sales.
direct-to-market retail is something that i love but has held the medium back for well over a decade now
By the way, it's not just Gwen Pool. I remember reading Peter David's X-Factor run and seeing the regular artist (who was really good once!) produce work that looked as if he held the pencil in the crook of his elbow. And Grant Morrison's X-Men run was completely potholed by a good number of issues where the art was atrocious or worse.
Corben's art was rushed to hell & back and looked awful there, even if the book was fantastic (heh)
but i'm happy to see someone else pointing out how amazingly shit some of the later art was for that otherwise great X-Factor run: like, it was impressively terrible, out of nowhere. that kinda shit makes me hesitant to buy an omnibus, personally.
That was "Jude Terror", so I approve.
yeah i'm gonna side with Waid on most things like this
And with all the blame on diversity, it's no wonder that the MCU film studio only features super white guys as leads for like 17x consecutive blockbusters.
they walked that one douche's thing on diversity back pretty quick i thought, and Panther is gonna be something most studios are still too scared to do
Yeah, I really liked the ending there - where Sam talks about how as he got older he got quieter, and more willing to compromise, and how young guys like Rage pushing the envelope is important.
Spencer writes a really nuanced Sam Wilson. A guy who is pulled between his responsibility as Captain America to keep the peace and promote unity, and his responsibility as a prominent black man to stand up against injustice and fight the good fight.
Sam really did get a great book there, and all this talk of Spencer makes me wonder just how he pulled it off - but he did, and i too loved how that culminated.
And considering Marvel as a whole is a very liberal company, from the film division, to its actors to the writers and artists, it's just a ridiculous complaint.
yeah, i hate Perlmutter too but thank you for this - let's not act like marvel's a go-to for trump supporters these days
Aren't all of these the exact same points that were brought up in
that Marvel Twine essay?
sure, but as a poster in that thread said: writing a 30k word essay & throwing it down a well isn't a great way to make your points
Marvels marketing is basically, change a character 99.9% of the time for a non storyline reason and have blogs berate long time readers with weeks of "Suck it fat white male virgins, Spider Man is now a lesbian Yugoslavian trans woman!" while the writer makes fun of you on twitter and then be unable to figure out why no one wants to spend 5$ a pop on it.
this is not at all what happens, and one of the dumbest posts i've seen in a minute
