I think that comics can do things movies can't and vice versa. In my opinion, you only expose their weaknesses if you try too hard at making one exactly like the other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period.
I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.
Comic art is just different. It's art on its own terms.
I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.
I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.
Write comic books if you love comic books so much that you want to write them. Don't write them like movies. Comics can do a lot of things that movies can't do, and vice versa.
I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.
The most frustrating part of working in TV and film is that you have to convince someone to let you make what you want; in comics you can do whatever you want and for 1% of the budget of TV and film.
When someone says 'comic book movies', what they inevitably mean is a summer superhero blockbuster, with heavily-muscled and tightly-gluted men (plus the occasional token woman) in tight-fitting costumes punching the living daylights out of one another for two hours.
Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.
