Quote: Dave said: I guess the criteria you are suing then is that popularity vindicates creative effort. Maus shuld never have won that Pulitzer, really, eh?
Still, I agree with your position on Birthright. Going for a Silver Age Supes is going backwards.
Hmmm...
Let me put it like this:
Hacks don't try to be hacks, they work hard in what they do in the hope that it'll be great, it doesn't mean it's gonna be good, does it?
I mean, Kevin Costner didn't make Waterworld, Postman and Dragonfly thinking "I suck, so today I'm going to be at my suckiest" (not that I think the first two of those suck. I like Waterworld and Postman, but overall, they are considered flops, no matter how much hard work went into making them).
Ishtar, Plan 9 from Outer Space... they are considered the worst movies in the history of the medium.
Do you think that the people that made them knew they were making the worst movies in the history of their medium?
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
