Important implies long lasting, which is the direction I was taking.  I'm not going to pretend to know what the executives are actually doing, so I stuck to the creative side.  Bendis seems important now, but a couple years after he leave Avengers, his run will be not have much of an impact on what is current.  Look at how different Daredevil is from when he left a few years ago.

Kick Ass, Walking Dead, Invincible, etc, will be remembered and read and will always be driven by their creators, which makes them more important, in my opinion.  Bendis has some creator owned stuff, but he'll be remembered much more for Avengers.

People will remember Johns and Bendis' runs on the big characters, but they'll leave and the someone else will take over.  I really believe the creator owned stuff has more impact (for the top few creator owned books, of course) so I think Kirkman and Millar will ultimately be the biggest.

Also, Millar's stuff on the mainstream characters, shorter runs, will ultimately be more accessable.  Bendis' Avengers run is great, but it will ultimately be like 200 issues and seem daunting.  The Ultimates 1 and 2 are going to be more widely read for longer, I'm willing to bet.

I will eventually buy the issue again in omnibus form, if they got some kind of deal to save on the eventual collection, as was talked about with Longbox when it was first announced, I would be willing to pay slightly more for the digital version.

If I only read The Walking Dead in issues, I probably wouldn't second guess a $3 digital copy as much, but the single issues basically represent a preview for me.  I would be willing to pay a small fee to read the chapters early, but there's no way I'm going to pay more for them than I will for the eventual collection.

Get it on a desktop app for $1.50 or less and I'm there.

(I know this is asking pretty much, but I'm just being honest here.)

Holy shit.  This is a movie I would watch daily.  I would cast Conor as Erik Larsen.  

 

 

Matt Damon is a bit old, but when he was younger, he would be the perfect Liefeld.

It just keeps looking better.

Even if it isn't black and white :p. 

August 23, 2010 1:28 pm It's good to see Ryp getting mainstream work.  I've been a fan of all the stuff he's done at Avatar with Ellis.  Especially that one shot from the first line of Apparat books,  what was that called?

August 2, 2010 1:53 pm Yes, Dark Ages Spawn is derivative of Medieval Spawn… but isn't Medieval Spawn derivative of original recipe Spawn?  

July 22, 2010 11:07 pm There are nine characters, four of them on horses.  It is awful hard to mail that in and have any of the characters be recognizable on a third of a page.  Why did everyone seem to turn on Romita all of a sudden?
