Hotshot creators that you're just not into.

Not to mention his incredible arrogance as exhibited on CBR's video of his "Manifesto", and the way he's pledging fealty to McFarlane and Co. by kissing ass so much his eyes have turned brown...

Yeah, Kirkman seems like a dick. I can't believe a guy who talks so much **** about superhero comics now defends Rob Liefeld as being the Jack Kirby of the 90s or something.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, in terms of impact on the industry, he sort of is. Unfortunately. There are so many Liefeld imitators from the '90s.

God, I'm gonna cry.

Think about how low the bar was in the 90's, though. That's not a hard thing to accomplish.

I'm more into the artist than the writer, if Alan Moore writes the most beautiful piece of comic book literature and the art is bad I tend to skip it.

On the other hand a good artist can save a horrible written book.

The exact opposite is true for me.

Beautifully illustrated books with mediocre writing hold no appeal for me, whatsoever. On the other hand, I'll always try a book which is recognised as being well-written, even if I think the art is pretty poor.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ideally, I'd like both, but the writing's more important for me. That's why I hardly ever get to see Ed McGuinness' art, even though I love his work: he's usually paired with really terrible writers.

1: The characterization of Luthor as the insane, solely petty jealousy driven mad scientist. I personally prefer the machiavellian business tycoon/legitimately respected scientist who has many noble intentions but very ignoble means and a pathological distrust of superhumans and aliens, mainly because that's the Luthor I grew up with and I'm rather drawn to the idea that the biggest villain in the DCU is a man who truly wants to do right by the world, but his own shortcomings and flaws twist and corrupt that desire to do good into something nasty.

Isn't this the Luthor they used in All-Star Superman? In the prison issue, all he talks about is the fact that Supermans presence hinders the development of mankind.
