"... then you just don't get comics. The publishers control the entire industry and they will not put out something interesting when they can sell the same stories to a new, gullible generation of fans and still get billions out of it. It's about assembly-line profitability, not quality."
I often wonder when I hear "fans" relentlessly bitch about every comic in existence if they actually even like the medium, I guess this answers my question.
No. Nobody is that pretentious.

ReplyDeletewow, thanks guy! And here I thought "Yotsuba" with its "Enjoy Everything!" was nothing but sheer joy in comic form. Clearly I was wrong
ReplyDeleteWell, silly me. I guess I'll just go back and read my JLI's with a whole new attitude.
ReplyDeleteHe's doing it wrong. If you're going to argue against comics being expected to be fun or enjoyable, at least use terms like "sequential art", "graphic novels", "bande dessinée" or whatever. Avoid terms like "comics" or "funny books" in your sentence.
