It's interesting about the recommendation of The Web, Back when DC did the Impact line I really dug the Web of that imprint- drawn by Trevor Von Eeden. Maybe the fact that The Web is a lesser known character allows creators to experiment more. I don't mind new creators making their versions/worlds; That's what many of us creative fans do with our public domain interpretations. I'm sure that editors are always going to have a tug of war between doing a new or canon interpretation of licensed characters- It's always about broad sales vs core following, i'm sure.<br /><br />either way, I'll check out the new books, just like I gave Dynamite's line a shot before I had to say, "No Thanks".FLAMEAPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314944822958836530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-68356767920015762302010-03-16T11:10:15.789-04:002010-03-16T11:10:15.789-04:00The thing is with revivals like the "Red Circ...The thing is with revivals like the "Red Circle" the tactic nowadays keeps me FROM buying the comics, that I'd be more likely to buy a new character. Especially, when the writer and powers that be keep giving interviews talking about as if they are writing the original characters and then they change everything about the character, leaving little other than the name. Of them all, I bought the Shield because it at least looked close to the original but it was chock full of bad writing that I haven't looked back.<br /><br />It's similar to the Azzarello writing FIRST WAVE and being the one constructing the bible behind the "pulp" earth and yet in interviews shows disdain for the subject matter, dismissive of other writers and creators and takes joy in that the built-in fans of it won't like what he's doing.cash_gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071052539938367439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-91245592439433986732010-03-15T17:59:43.184-04:002010-03-15T17:59:43.184-04:00I look at Roy, The Wonder Boy and just wonder how ...I look at Roy, The Wonder Boy and just wonder how ridiculous the 'kid sidekick' thing was at times. ::lol::<br /><br />Great download choices! :-)GACNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721317665347150211noreply@blogger.com
