Just like I did last year I wanted to ask you a favor, I'm promoting my new comic, as you can see here:<br /><br />http://artbyarion.blogspot.com/2016/03/buy-dawn-of-undead-now-and-win-marvel.html<br /><br />It would mean a lot to me if you help me spread the link around, and even better yet, if you post something about this on your blog. <br /><br />Thanks!Arionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794190466838336293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-68292775665539993492016-03-16T11:56:32.324-04:002016-03-16T11:56:32.324-04:00I think both companies would need to be willing to...I think both companies would need to be willing to design graphic novels for that market and be able to to do so without falling into the usual rut of making anything aimed at kids excessively watered-down or wacky but to honestly approach the heroes from a writing for young readers perspective. We're talking past chapter books but before teen novels. <br /><br />I think well done young reader superhero graphic novels could hang in the market alongside stuff from Rick Riordan for example. <br /><br />MattComixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015552734150732758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-10395202675166495962016-03-16T07:51:01.617-04:002016-03-16T07:51:01.617-04:00@MattComix - I think a lot of things contributed t...@MattComix - I think a lot of things contributed to the decline of young readers of superhero comics: moving to the direct market, price increases, competition from other media (video games and shows) <i> and </i> change in tone. <br /><br />But let's not forget the reason comics felt the need to move into the direct market in the first place was because the market outside was already dwindling. Don Rosa once told me that the direct market saved comics at that time, but it has since become an unfortunate crutch that has led to the type of comics you mention.<br /><br />But here's a question - since there is a new marketplace for kids reading entertainment via school driven book sales, why aren't there any superhero properties in the lineup? I suspect the people who pick the books don't necessarily see any merit in modern superhero material (which is unfortunate because it might help boys get more into reading.)Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-31223522597060461712016-03-15T16:55:04.689-04:002016-03-15T16:55:04.689-04:00Well I think part of the complaint is that really ...Well I think part of the complaint is that really superheroes are rather perfect for being a young reader thing but they're forced out of being part of the success of graphic novels for young readers by a generation of fans and creators who insist on making them exist in some weird nether realm off to the side of horror movies and porn as a way to distance themselves from old perceptions about superheroes being campy or for kids *only*. <br /><br />Yet some of the most successful young reader things are things that aren't painfully inappropriate for kids while still having plenty for an older reader to chew on. As I've often said those classic comics worked well for repeat reading because as you grew up you found more in them. You kind of go from just thinking Spider-Man is awesome and looks cool to being able to understand what his stories say about the human condition.
