A Grand Comix Clean Up.
Posted: Sun May 23, 2010 2:57 pm
Since Siege raised this point in the mad ideas thread. Rather confrontationally, I might add but not exactly wrong in principle. I thought it might be a good idea to have an open discussion about it. Rather than arguing in the mad ideas thread.
So a big ol' clean up of comix, what would be involved? Should Comix really be all about the stories?
The last question I ask is because I personally do not usually have stories in mind when I create a character? I generally just have one 'nifty' concept for a character say a power or gimmick that I then try to expand upon. Which incidentally is why I think the regular identities of my characters are quite weak.
And on the other things some character articles some as MiG man or Orpheus' Soldier are so in-depth and detailed with so many prose segments that they really count as an entire story anyway.
