The Comics Commentary Thread

[michaelpaciocco]

OK, figure this is overdue for this forum, a thread discussing the state fo the industry - because hey, why can't everyone have a discussion about it? As I recall, we even have a retailer here to help!

Anyway, let's start with some actual cogent thoughts from...Erik Larsen:

Now, try not to laugh too hard when you hear Erik complaining about a comic being nothing but irrelevant fisticuffs, but there's a few interesting comments - and as an added bonus, there's a rather scathing commentary on Joe Quesada.

Add your own links and/or thoughts,

I think Larsen nailed Joey Q on the head.

When discussing the comics of today, or indeed, the last 15 years or so, the words Short Attention Span theatre come to mind.

I have to admit that while I'm a fan of short contained arcs by specific creators, I wouldn't mind seeing some get longer and lengthier runs on books.
