MIKE RICHARDSON (DARK HORSE) Y TED ADAMS (IDW) RESPONDEN AL DISCURSO DE STEPHENSON

Eso de que "Star Wars comics and Transformers comics ARE NOT THE REAL THING" no le ha caído muy bien a sus respectivos editores.

El de Dark Horse apunta:

"Eric uses Star Wars as an example of comics that are not “real.” That will certainly be news to those creators who produced over 25,000 pages of Star Wars comics and an insult to the people who read them. This kind of thinking smacks of a kind of comics elitism, where self-appointed gatekeepers tell us not only what we should and should not read, but what we should enjoy. People read comic books for a variety of reasons, and in the end the marketplace will decide which comics and which companies will be successful."

Y el de IDW:

With that being said, IDW is consistently acting as a feeder system to the direct market and the idea that only Image comics can bring new readers into comic shops is so insulting to everyone in the channel that it’s hard for me to figure how Eric thought it was a good idea to build a speech around it. It’s also hard for me to figure how he thought it was a good idea to insult hundreds of creators and hundreds of thousands of fans by telling them their comics books aren’t “real”.

Alguno hay por ahí que ya encumbraba a Stephenson como visionario.

Pues va a ser que no...
