January 31, 2011 3:44 pm Who new this was such a loaded subject with a million different perspectives. The reactions to this have really been interesting and even if you don't agree with Powell you have to applaud that it jump started the discussion. I thought the video was hilarious and created by a very disgruntled Powell but I couldn't disagree with him nor can I disagree with anything you said in your journal. What I got out of the video wasn't so much a villainizing of the big two as much as a "call to arms" to comic creators and fans to really support fellow independent creators and books. I try to do that as much as I can. Nothing excites me more than a great independent but at the same time I refuse to buy comics I don't love just to support an independent. From a creator's standpoint it certainly sucks balls that most artists, myself included (shameless plug- http://artofant.com), can't make a living in comics alone but like any industry over flowing with talent and passion the cream usually rises and I think/hope I'm on the way. I love that this is being discussed and hopefully it continues to come up because I love hearing more of everybody's opinions and nothing gets the word out for comics more than a little contraversy.
