I read up until Cooke's issue and am thrilled by this title; whomever said here it's the perfect comic to pass to non-comic readers was right on the money.
it seems Chiarello asks the authors to use several different techniches from story to story and to try one about their relation to comics, how they start reading them and all. clever.
Sale's and Corben's issues were pretty, but very weak story-wise [and most of them will be, as I believe there are as many good artist-writers as there are writer-artists] and Chaykin's, Cooke's and Pope's - haven't found Allred's yet - were amazing!
why hasn't anyone talked more about Pope's OMAC? I don't know if that was a remake of the 1st Kirby issue, but man it was fucking great! very bizarre. shiny colors, rebellion, love, fights, explosions! if this is not what Comics should be about we're doomed...
liked the ghost toy one, the Batman one [more for the art] and specially the one about the cantina [sometimes it is all about just recording what's around us], although it was plagued with redundant captions.
here's hoping the editor manages to get other great guys to do an issue: Baker, Clowes, Bagge, Brian Wood, Quitely, Kuper, Darrow, Jim Lee, Moebius, Manara, Kubert and all the good old guys before they beat it [it's just shitty that Eisner is not around to do one...].
writers should have a go at this, too, since there were some collaborations here and there. this is how I see guys like Cameron pop in sooner than later. writers could do short prose pieces and do at least art for one story, even if it's a page of stick figures or fumetti. Morrison can turn in some good art on his own and Ellis take pics with his cellphone. |
