Grant Morrison does a good job of using what he's learned about old comics to create new ones.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-54901061552554161662012-05-16T06:02:36.866-04:002012-05-16T06:02:36.866-04:00@Blitzdawg, yeah, a showcase for up and coming cre...@Blitzdawg, yeah, a showcase for up and coming creators and comic titles would be a win for everyone I think!Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-70528865159757504792012-05-14T12:44:27.836-04:002012-05-14T12:44:27.836-04:00FBU has been one of the few...perhaps the only att...FBU has been one of the few...perhaps the only attempt I have seen for producing a sincere unironic, non parody, non-deconstructionist, straight up fun superhero webcomic/CBR files that was also completely formatted for the monitor screen. I think one of the big problems with independently done superhero comics is an inability to get past ideas like "what if Superman was a violent asshole?". FBU was extremely refreshing both for this and it's unapologetic embracing of Bronze Age style and approach. <br /><br />I agree with you about the potential for Comixology to be the digital Diamond. The last thing the medium needs is to march into the digital age only to have a single distributor holding it by the scrotum just like before.MattComixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015552734150732758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-71274378327831730522012-05-14T11:52:51.730-04:002012-05-14T11:52:51.730-04:00I think to compete with the "big boys" s...I think to compete with the "big boys" smaller publishers will have to unite and form their own mega-digital shop. SLG, Top Shelf,:01, Campfire, Oni, Boom! Studios to name just a few that would be good to combine together. They could also offer space to individual artists or projects for a percentage of each sale- talking pennies, really. But it gives the little guy a place to showcase, he/she can maybe even get one of these companies' lables on their digital book, and if it sells, everyone has made a little change for their pockets!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-79066612338406181542012-05-14T11:38:55.018-04:002012-05-14T11:38:55.018-04:00Ah, good to hear that story is going to get comple...Ah, good to hear that story is going to get completed.<br /><br />It is interesting how the digital comics medium is evolving. A lot has changed since you started FBU.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
