Ryan Ottley, el dibujante de Invincible, ofrece unas interesantes reflexiones sobre la importancia de que un artista permanezca FIJO en una serie.
Una práctica que por desgracia se ha perdido en Marvel y DC, pero que debería recuperarse si es que sus productos quieren gozar alguna vez de integridad artística y respeto.
At conventions I've got to talk to a few older artists I liked when I was a kid reading Marvel comics. And most of them are unfamiliar with new comics, they don't know who I am, and they wax poetic about the good ol' days when artists use to do long runs and how it just doesn't happen anymore. And it's fun to say "Well, actually, it does still happen. Just not at Marvel and DC anymore." I'd love to see it happen more often with other books. I mean at least one year on a title.
But since it is such a writers market, and fans are caring less about visuals and more about the writing, a lot don't care that there is a new artist every few issues. They would rather have a book on-time, than visually consistent. Now me, I've always been very much into the art side of it, so I'd wait forever for a book. I did not mind waiting for Pitt, as long as the next issue was drawn by Dale Keown. Same with Battle Chasers, same with all of those first Image books. I had a hard time reading a comic with a new artist on a book, to me it's like watching a TV show and they get a new actor to play the part of a character.
