10 Most Harmful Trends In Comics Today
8. Attempts To Recreate The Movies...
Comic book movies make A LOT of money. A lot of people like them, they also drum up interest in the comics themselves. All of this is fine, good even, but comics and movies are two separate artforms.
Whilst the comics and movies could probably benefit from a bit more synergy, this should be led by the comics, not the movies. The comics are the medium that the characters were created for, after all.
Today, when Marvel and DC attempt to recreate the movies on the page, it is just sad. Comics can do much more than movies and on less than 1% of the budget, too.
Having comics trying to be movies is just silly. A movie that tries to be a comic book is a winner; a comic book that tries to be a movie is boring.
