RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Comic Books who do you follow, the character or the creator?

I'll go with creator. A lot of the titles I read are creator owned anyway.

If a character I like is being written badly then I'm not going to spend money on something that's going to piss me off. I didn't rush out and buy all those 'Sandman Presents' titles that Vertigo put out after Gaiman's 'Sandman' series had concluded because, with a few exceptions, they weren't very good.

I almost dropped Hellblazer during Paul Jenkin's run and only continued reading it after it was announced that Ennis and then Ellis would be taking over writing duties. I dropped The Authority after Robbie Morrison took over.

Ultimately if you don't like what a writer is doing with a character then that character becomes devalued.

It works the other way too. I'll check out titles that I wouldn't generally go for, if I like the creative team. I'll definitely be having a look at what Ellis does with Ultimate FF and I'll be checking out Azzarello's work on Superman too.
