Let's support Troy! Buy Twilight Guardian!

This sounds very much like an opinion that might suggest broader liberal thinking in some mediums are frowned upon and at worst punished. Would that be a fair assessment?

Let me answer you with an anecdote: a particular podcast was reviewing Twilight Guardian, and they really dug it. But while talking about it, these two things were said: "We're all the way through the first issue, and she still hasn't had her first fight," and "we're not sure what her powers are yet."

...I STILL don't have my copy of #4. Local comic shop and my work hours really don't mesh well. I've been avoiding this thread for fear of spoilers, but can't help peeking in to see what's going on. Saturday's my next window of opportunity...





hmm..Should I have admitted to that? Will evil forumites now mess with my head with fake spoilers?

*facepalm*

You need say no more, sir. It's unfortunate that in this day and age and some what...nearly thirty years since Watchmen, people still expect the BAM! ZAP! POW! style of storytelling. Don't get me wrong, I still rate JLA/Avengers (which is nothing but that style) as one of my favorite comics, but something with a bit of forethought and and a willingness to address the medium as valid as novels and movies should be embraced on its merits, not judged by a standard that's based on commercialisation. The insert you put into #4 makes a lot more sense now that I've written this.

Don't get me wrong; I'd love to see you write for one of the big companies, presuming they'd let you write the way you wanted to. I think what a lot of people would want though is more of your CoH work (I certainly would), but this is to me something of a melting pot of your ideas, and I'm glad you gave a full issue to each one, which is how I'm tending to see it now.

Congratulations for taking the braver route rather than the easier one. Consider me one of your followers now, and I'll look forward to your next piece. (Which I secretly hope inducts TG into the CoH-verse, but hey... )
