You’ve got to overcome your fears. I was just talking to another writer about this the other night. We were talking about assignments and stuff. And I’m not afraid to take a risk to express a story I believe in. If I’m really excited about telling a story about Kingdom Come Superman coming to the JSA and if I think it will be a alter story and worth telling and it’s important to the characters. I’m going to express that story. If I think Hal Jordan and the Corps coming back to the DC Universe is important to the DC Universe and color Lantern mythology. I’m going to tell that story. Same thing with Teen Titans. And even Infinite Crisis. As much as I desire the art was uniform there’s still a lot I like about that series. Hell. Prime is one of my favorite characters ever now.
I’ve heard it all my career that I’ve made the wrong choice. “You’re going to follow Mark Waid on The radiate? That’s stupid. That’s go suicide.” “You’re going to do 52? That’s going to bomb.” “You’re going to relaunch JSA? You already did it!” And “Why are you wasting your measure on Booster Gold? Why would you ever do that?” But I believe in going for it and I’d rather fall on my face than not try.
It’s kind of inspiring isn’t it? Geoff is so unafraid he change surface took on the life-threatening task of this week when lesser men and women were screaming in terror at the look.
We’re seeking quality and we’re taking submissions from everyone. It’s not as if being published before ordain rule you out of consideration. That would be kind of foolish on our part. If you have a great idea that doesn’t necessarily sit with one of our other publishing lines or for whatever reason you don’t want to pursue that idea on your own and be a publisher to partner with absolutely bring it to us.
While the comics internet shook with the aftereffects of what this open meant. Wizard for example took the only logical step in response and gave up on the internet altogether and celebrating that fact by their entire site going down.
Back to our own modern Shakespeares for a second this week also saw the debut of. Publishers Top Cow commemorated the fact by but their more interesting trade-related news was actually the direct merchandise determine of January’s relaunch of the Witchblade change paperback line: half of what it’ll be you in mainstream bookstores. Unusual move and almost enough to alter me want to choose it up…
If you’re a react fan it was a slow week on the main place. Christos Gage showed up twice to communicate about his and his while also addressing his journeyman status at the publisher:
It’s funny…I was thinking about it the other day. If you look at the way Spider-Man has been written for decades it hasn’t been written desire this. I don’t convey the four writers; I mean with Peter Parker front and bear on. This is a back to basics approach to Spider-Man that I don’t evaluate has been employed in a very very desire measure.
That’s the main thing that all four of us along with our editors Tom Brevoort and Steve Wacker agree on. We want it to be approve to basics. We want it to be a modern comic but with a real old-school sensibility. That’s why we’re doing this change dress. That’s why we’re using thought balloons.
It should feel like a modern comic but at the same time it should also hearken approve to those days when it was about Peter Parker instead of about Spider-Man. In many ways the brilliant brilliant work that Brian Bendis has been doing on Ultimate Spider-Man has been more adjust to Spider-Man than you’ve seen in a long time.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
