Guys...
Moebius just died this morning. The article says he was struggling with disease for some time now. Fuck.
Embarrassingly, I have never read anything by Moebius. Any suggestions to rectify that?
Oh and there's also Transmetropolitan-
Trust me it's good, among Ellis' best work.
So just reading subtext here is it safe to say someone on Batwoman editorial (or JHW3 himself) wasn't pleased with her work and gave her the boot? It clearly wasn't her choice to leave.
It's not batwoman editorial its DC's editors as a whole. They keep fucking around with everything and are not willing to let writers create long term plans for their books. Unless your name is Geoff Johns or Grant Morrison DC reserves the right to abruptly throw you off a book. I also think theres a big political game in the DC offices and thats why people like tony daniel and liefield keep getting work and Gail Simone and Amy Reeder are getting thrown under the bus.

Mark Waid was on Word balloon telling how he feels DC is very editorial driven. But then again, he is known to have parted with DC on bad terms.
Waid also says he loves Nightwing and he's been trying to do the book for years but he can't because the higher ups at DC don't like Nightwing as a character and think that Waid is too big of a writer to be on such a "low level" book.
Yet you can't really say there's not truth to his observations as he works in the industry and the carriage leads the horse at DC. Be it 52, Countdown, Blackest Night, Brightest Day, New 52. DC makes up it's mind to crap out product and talent be damned the books will come out.
Marvel at least seems to be doing it sensibly by getting consistent teams to rotate in and out on arcs.
Still they can both eat a big veiny dick with their sorry ass rehashes and I'll keep making sweet, sweet love to my independent comics. INTEGRITY! ^_^
Just when those assholes cut Alan Davis, Arthur Adams, Ivan Reis, or some other artist I like a check - then I'll read their sorry ass rehashes of old ass characters.
I don't think independent is any better. Look at the shit Todd Mcfarlane has pulled in his time and there are creative fights all the time. Even recently a lawsuit started between Kirkman and the artist who did the first few issues of Walking Dead. People are just people but DC seems to have the worst of the bunch.
Doesn't surprise me considering the infamous case during Infinite Crisis where DiDio wanted to kill him for the drama (and disposing the character from the DC universe)
It is better.
You are wrong.
Herp derp! McFarlane! Herp derp! Kirkman!
Never mind fucking the Kirby estate. Fucking Joe Simon. Fucking the Siegel and Schusters. Fucking Gary Friedrich. Just wholesale fucking of talent. Yeah, the umbrella of "work for hire" is great.
I hope you enjoy an asshole full of Spiderman, Batman, and Superman from now until the end of time; because that's what you're going to get.
Good day sir.
Yeah but really, Todd Mcfarlane
TTOB elitism never gets old
except when it does
riiiiiight about now
Right.
Just stick to the consumer side of the aisle and you're good.
I love TTOB. Sometimes I want to punch my sister in the ovaries, but I still love her.
I admire his consistency and passion about a topic that is very dear to my heart. Back in the Vertigo days, when I swore off all the mainstream superhero titles, and only bought indies, ashcans, and art books, I was him. I just decided that I do love comics in all it's forms and came back home to the editorialy driven, soulless evil that is corporate comics, and have loved everything from the books in Artist Alley to the most overhyped Event books that the big two can shit out.
I believe that there is merit that can be found in all of that. However, I dont think that the individualism and pureness that can be found in an issue of a super-indie issue of the latest hidden gem is in any way less or more to the genre tradition and hyper-Mythology that can be found in the latest sellout chapter of Amazing Spider-Man.
I fell the exact same way about movies, TV and especially music. I believe in going into everything I do wanting to find enjoyment.
Lady Gaga = Mumford and Sons. John Carter = The Artist. The Wire = Charmed. The worth of entertainment is directly related to the work's ability to accomplish what its creator set out to do. If that's to be a popcorn film, or to win Best Picture, no product is inherently on a pedestal to me. If it accomplished it's intended goal, it was a successful work for me.
I wish more people saw things like this.
Really? Were doing the indies vs capes thing again? How many times is this now?

Kryptonian, you can suck it!
I would agree about original characters but seeing how robert "kill em all" kirkman deals with his characters makes me want to pass on many original titles that don't have writers that I'm aware of.My stance is primarily that of the creator rights angle and creators profiting from their creations.
I still buy plenty of shitty Marvel/DC comics. However it's limited to following creators whose work I enjoy from them. I'm not going to follow Spiderman because I have some emotional attachment to the character, that ended two decades ago.
There will always be corporate intellectual properties I enjoy in the right hands - Superman, Punisher, Captain America, Black Adam, etc. The problem for the corporations is finding the right hands.
It's nice to be taken completely out of context and to have morons to come bat with minor offenses perpetrated by a handful of shady businessmen on the indie ignoring the long history of offenses perpetrated by the corporations and their lawyers.
This is why you're not seeing new characters out of Marvel. This is why DC is warming over old characters with the "New 52". For the most part creators seem to have gotten wise to the anti-creator core of Marvel/DC and they're not turning over their best ideas to these companies.
Kryptonian, you can suck it!
All-Star Superman is IMHO the best Superman book of all time, anyone who wants to read a good Superman story needs to read that book.
I own both hardcovers of Vol. 1 and 2 myself ^_^v.
Just my 2 cents~
