Este Jenkins es puro "Festival del Humor": Se ha pasado el tío 20 años pululando por Marvel, enchufado, y cualquier lector sería incapaz de recordar dos trabajos suyos (si, ya se que hizo ORIGIN, pero lo hemos olvidado todos ¿no?).
Cuando Marvel le cerró el grifo después de mil y un fracasos y oportunidades, se pasó a DC en pleno New 52, donde por supuesto un guionista tan mediocre como él no había manera de que saliese adelante. Pasó con pena y sin gloria.
Y ahora, cuando Marvel y DC ya no le dan trabajo, va el tío y hace un comunicado para decir: "NO QUIERO NADA CON MARVEL Y DC, MALVADÍSIMAS CORPORACIONES QUE NO MIRAN POR SUS CREADORES, Y AHORA ME HAGO EXCLUSIVO DE BOOM STUDIOS, ALE".
¡Que bueno, es como si yo me pongo a presumir de que no curro en DC!
Lo de La Zorra y las Uvas, vaya: cuando ha visto que no las alcanza, dice que no las quiere ¡NI LAS HA QUERIDO!
Ojito a las declaraciones, que no tienen desperdicio.
Conste que lo que dice es muy cierto, pero vamos, él precisamente no es el más indicado para hablar.
I don’t need to tell you what Greg Rucka and numerous other respected creators have already told you – that the Big Two have removed their focus away from the creators and towards the maintenance of the characters. I don’t blame Disney or Warner Brothers. After all, Avengers made a lot of money, didn’t it?
Over the course of my career in this industry I have had the opportunity to work on all of the major characters at Marvel and DC, and for much of that time it has been a lot of fun. But honestly, the entire medium deserves more than we are currently giving it. So do the fans, the people who currently shell out four dollars for each comic that they buy. We have taken away the consequences of the stories we present to them, and I feel the mainstream product is becoming a homogenized puddle of "meh." I have no desire to appeal to a reader's indifference, nor be involved in a final product that I do not fully support.
I know when it was a lot easier, and that was back in the days of Marvel Knights. In those times, Marvel had been in bankruptcy, and they had little choice but to allow the creators the freedom and trust that so many of us deserve. I look back on "Inhumans" and "Sentry," on my Spidey runs with Bucky and Humberto, and on various successes with "Wolverine: Origin" and others, and I know - because I was there - that they succeeded in large part because I was given freedom to create without being handicapped by editorial mandates. It just hasn't been that way for a while.
In recent years, I have watched, helpless, as editors made pointless and destructive changes to scripts and artwork that they had previously left alone. It bugs me that the creators were a primary focus when the mainstream publishers needed them, and now that the corporations are driving the boat, creative decisions are being made once again by shareholders. I want to create comics the way we are supposed to. I want characters to die and stay dead, or at the very least make sure that creative decisions in a series lead to something more than an inevitable return to the status quo.
