18 November 2008Bias Against Writers In The DCU?
rokk breaks down litg’s dc rumors better than i could. a stock point i failed to elaborate on that rokk nails, regarding tony daniel writing “battle for the cowl”:”now, i love daniel as an artist, but i have never knew that he was a writer as splendidly. has daniel ever written anything before? i have extreme reservations just about didio tapping a relatively unbeknownst and untested writer in daniel to hilt such a colossal event in the battle for the cowl that didio has stated will overall plan the unborn for the batman universe. i would have thought that didio would have wanted a big esteem writer to touch this important task.”the question here is: did didio pick daniel because he genuinely contemplating he was the best man for the job, or was it partially out of desperation because he has alienated so many writers? again, this is not a knock on daniel’s writing ability. and i fantasize it’s cool to consume chances on young and untested talent — it keeps things fresh.but think about it: you have a highly urgent batman event, dealing with issues coming situated of grant morrison’s intoxication-profile “batman rip.” don’t you give it to an established writer? doesnt didio have a rolodex? is he hoping that daniel might be another “todd mcfarlane” and pull in big sales with this writer/artist combo? though i doubt the reasoning behind the verdict was this deep.a bigger question: is there a colour against comic book writers in the dcu?the grounds of writers and the dcu is starting to remind me of that archetypal byrne x-men cover, with wolverine/kitty & the wanted posters in the family:dixon: alienatedrucka: non-exclusiveshooter: alienatedmorrison: alienatedrobinson: status unconfirmedmiller: overpaidjohns: overworkedinclination dc follow the comic book model of the late 80s/early 90s and focus on the knack preferably than the story? wishes they stop trying to build a stable of comic hard-cover writers and look to hollywood conducive to new inclination?and in such a relatively small field as professional comic book writing, was has been the full scale of the didio regime’s impact?
