Prose Vs. Comics

Cool challenge with the novel thing and fits right in with Stephen King's hardcore writing work ethic, but it also sets writers up for the trap that I encounter with a lot of writers. They never finish anything. I'd advise writing short stories before attempting a novel. If not that, vignettes. If not that, a poem. One finished and relatively good creative wor...

Edward, so if you like a writer's work, you have to like all their work regardless of what characters they use or what genre they write? I can totally understand not liking a specific character. It just puts into question the truism of "there are no bad characters--only bad writers." My ultimate crosscompany dream team would be five Deadpools all written by five different creators:...

I dropped this book . . . only cuz the story wasn't blowing me away. The story sounds more interesting now. I haven't gotten my books yet. I think my comic shop went out of business between last Wednesday and this one. I called to have them make sure they ...

That world has two very unique charact...

Can I Afford Comics?

On Oct 14, 2009 12:00 PM

Great article and it now has me typing something I thought about when I first came to this website. How the fuck do most of the ifanboy users afford their books?

My comic book budget takes into account that I really only spend money on music and boo...

Whatever Happened to the No-Prize Hunter?

There is nothing wrong with being critical readers, thinkers or viewers. Just because they are comics does not mean that we willingly suspend disbelief to the point that everything is acceptable, cuz it is comics. That perspective degrades comics as a whole.
