Originally I was just going to post "WHY DO YOU HATE SUPERHERO COMICS!!?!??" and have it hotlinked to Rivkah's WW review, but I decided to go for content instead.
There's a difference between a request and an irritated, baffled, ranting demand, Butcher.
Unless you're Darwyn Cooke.
You're like CONCRETE guy. You feel, but you can't FEEL. ;_;
Nah, not really... I just really love the ridiculousness of that expression.
not to be the Grinch, but if i spent long hours sitting at a desk, not getting enough exercise, worrying about wrist injuries or eye strain or back pain(all taken care of by that awesome comics health care package), nevermind the toll on sleep and relationships, trying to hit deadlines, drawing and drawing and endless drawing, dealing with editors and creditors and chasing paychecks and who knows what else, and for YEARS, and on my "vacation" if you want to call it that(where you get to see what happens to older artists a couple tables down, and... ouch), if someone whose FIRST comic hasn't even come out wandered over, after a long day of dealing with freakshow Wizard Con fans and the scraping grinding awful nosebleed noise of those things, and asked me about my PASSION, then complained my response wasn't enthusiastic enough...
...well, i'd think that was just super.
maybe that's just my own lousy day talking though...
i sure hope those Tokyopop deals work out...so that they're aloud to give them LIFE!!!
oh but that Hope Larson interview's really cool-- thanks.
Point for Abhay!
Just to clarify, I saw Rivkah's response over at Irresponsible Pictures this morning and... Yeah. I don't fall into either the "Why Do You Hate My Superheroes!?" or "Tokyopop Is The Devil!" camps... I honestly think it's a great, great thing that there are so many energetic young creators out there bursting to tell their own stories. That many of them are aware of (and are seeking an escape from) the coroporate superhero monopoly is a good thing too. But it's a little like a kid running away from an abusive home and getting picked up at the bus station by a sleezy porn producer... They'll make you a 'star' as long as you sign your life away, and you're still not necessarily in a better situation either.
Abhay is my new god.
I think I love Abhay.
