Hey Comics–Lighten Up, Already!
August 20, 2013 1:07 pm Well-said, Mike! This pretty much sums up a lot my feelings about comics lately.
I feel like there is a serious lack of wonder and adventure and hope in what's coming out of DC lately. While it is really disheartening to hear a comics professional say that DC flat out told him, they're publishing books for 45-year-olds, it's pretty obvious that that's the case. The New 52 initiative may have been a little bit about getting new readers, everything DC has done in the last year builds a strong case that they are only concerned about making comics for old comic fans. I hate to be picking on DC here, but it gets infuriating as a comics reader and lover to have a big publisher writing to such a narrow audience.
I know every couple months there's a COMICS ARE DYING outcry. And while I don't at all believe that to be the case, it's myopic strategies like this that add fuel to that argument. We're living in a time when comic book movies are doing extremely well at the box office and digital comics have gotten to where they're broadly accessible. This is the time to be publishing good comics for all audiences, not just the guys who've been buying the same kind of comics since they were 8. There's a real opportunity to open comics up to a new audience, and I feel that chance is being squandered.
sorry - rant over :)
