I grew up around the same time, and I never really realized how comics grew up with me... and how supers were really the only game in town for a very long time (though I still managed to discover Judge Dredd and other 2000AD stuff at my local shop).<br /><br />Glad to read that you're for more diversity. I'm psyched because I'm taking your upcoming writing course and I have close to zero interest in working on a superheroes book. Maybe in the future, but right now, as a writer I see so much more potential for great stories in other genres.Richard Douekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729934833447914998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540922283204374141.post-48884036262577959502011-02-09T11:06:08.014-05:002011-02-09T11:06:08.014-05:00Comic-Con is a whole different animal.

You make an excellent point that the D.M. is basically for geeks at this point, and people who would read other genres of comics aside from super-hero genres would not walk into a comic shop. Question! Having never been to Comic-Con, I was wondering if you noticed "non-super" genres such as suspense, comedy or romance genres have successfully sold there? Obviously, its notoriety for being a smorgasboard of super-duper-everything-and-anything might discourage this, but recent content such as Twilight or The Walking Dead has brought new fans to Comic-con (I use these two in the same sentence only because no capes or tights are to be found in them.). This brings in more customers who may be less likely to buy a Superman graphic novel and more likely to buy a book closer to that of "Blade Runner", "Collateral" or even "The Notebook".

I love a good superhero book, but what I've learned as I've gotten older is that I love other genres as well in this format. What stinks is that (to use my two older brothers as examples), they go outside of the comics medium for anything other than super heroes. They've been trained at this point to see comics as super heroes, so they don't even think of getting a thriller or horror comic, they only think to check out novels or movies for that kind of material. It makes me sad because comics can be SO good at that kind of material, too.

Really interesting insight into the history of comics (especially in the States).<br />Australia has a miniscule DM market and newstands/Borders don't have much going either...<br /><br />Genre-wise, I've loved the last 5 years of getting into IDW and the wide variety of genres they ace at!!!Bassbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086509136261676613noreply@blogger.com
