Well, not totally. I plan on praising comics a lot when I feel something is worthy of it. And I'm going to say a lot of things I like about comics and have appreciated over the years. But honestly, I feel in this day and age when so much is possible, with such incredible technology and talent we have, I personally think we are underachieving in comics and I'm going to do my best to point things like that out.
I find a lot of message boards, blogs, Twitter feeds, etc....they are all too willing to kiss the ass of comics. They are all too willing to pucker up and act like everything that is out is great and every artist and writer who had a book published is great. Hey, I don't begrudge you for loving comics. I love them too! But if you love everything, then you probably can't be relied on for a good suggestion either.
There is a whole lot wrong today with comics and I'm gonna say how I feel when I feel the urge. I don't care if people agree with me or not. I'm gonna say how I feel. I've been collecting since 1978 and I feel entitled to voice my opinion. I appreciate it if you have a differing opinion. But I'm still going to feel free to feel how I do too.
One thing I do know. Although we are small in number, I think we are growing. I think there is others who feel a lot of the same things I do. Yeah, not everything, but we agree on some things that are wrong. And I'm hoping that if enough people start bitching about it openly in known public comic forums, maybe eventually comics will take note and make some changes. Yeah, probably not. But that is the hope.
As I learn more about this blogging stuff I plan to post pictures and any other thing I can do to further my case. I'm gonna just keep going and going and keep at it and hope along the way I get some people to watch and join in on the show.
I'm really looking forward to bitching about comics. And singing it's praises too. I hope you are too!
