WRITER VS ARTIST DEBATE!! 🔥🔥 One reason why I believe this debate continues to happen is because we don’t take into context the difference in “at-bat hits” that are allowed per each creator Let me explain Someone who is a writer/artist (like myself) has more at-bat opportunities than a writer. I could make $0 and continue to step up to the plate and keep taking swings and making comics. All I lose is my time. On the other hand, a writer has a lot more to lose. They could hire an artist and team, spend thousands of dollars, and get nothing in return. For some writers, this means that their first comic could absolutely force them out of the comics game completely. It’s a hard reality…but it’s a reality nonetheless The writer has MONEY to lose, whereas the artist has TIME they could lose Each is still a skill issue as well, but that’s for another day and another discussion So. When we have debates, I think it’s important we have an empathetic viewpoint on what the other person may be experiencing. What are your thoughts?

Do people read comics or just complain about them?

HYPOTHETICAL If you had to replace all the art in every Superman comic (past present and future) with one of these artists... Who would you choose?

There's a problem in indie comics (and most fandoms) where you have OG elder fans of the medium judge and push away those who are "not like them" some of them are mentally ill mistachio freaks they'll say things like: "they're weird." "they're not like one of us." "it gives vindictive tourist." What it really comes off as vindictive creator who is angry they're not getting the spotlight they feel they deserve. Or vindictive comic fan who doesn't like other people coming in their playground I've dealt with these types for the last 10 years in comics they say the same talking points they cry the same thing every time they give the same retarded purity tests to prove themselves at the end of the day comics is for everyone. anyone can make comics there's only TWO rules to making comics, and the 2nd rule is only important if you care about money or business #1) do you enjoy making comics? #2) do others enjoy reading your comics? #1 is the only one that matters in the end, but if you want to treat this like a business, then question #2 matters. And if you're able to check both of those off, you're golden. If you can nail those two questions, you just gotta learn the business and marketing side and you'll be good to go and when I mean good to go I mean... now spend the next 10-20 years marketing yourself and growing an audience because this shit takes time :P
