Comics fans want new stuff that looks exactly like the old stuff. It is hard for the publishers, and even the audience, to change something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There hasn't been enough change in comics to suit me. I don't know why exactly.
I'd like to see the comics' style expanded. I'd like to see artists synthesize traditional comics arts style with fine-arts styles or whatever. I like to see innovation. I don't like it when an art form becomes stagnant.
I continue to be disappointed that people don't try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.
The audience for comics has shifted dramatically. And the boundaries between books and fine arts have blurred. Maybe it's the globalization of fine art through the Internet - it's easy for certain groups to coalesce around a certain kind of work or medium.
The comics work is very slow, and it basically involves working for sometimes years in isolation and not knowing how the work is going to be received.
People are really paying attention to the comic-book genre, and there's a lot of time and attention being invested in these projects with a wonderful sense of quality control.
It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.
Comic art is just different. It's art on its own terms.
That became a big time in comic books because it's when people were starting to break out into independent stuff, the market was getting choked with speculators and everybody was trying to do their own trick covers.
With comics you can put interesting and solid information in a format that's pretty palatable.
