New Brevoort Formspring
-
Hi Tom - another question. I've only been reading comics for a few years so I may be wrong but: I noticed the books that seem to have most creative storytelling techniques and tone are ones I would have thought more B-list like Hawkeye and YA. Is there generally a 'rule' that the A-list books be more 'traditional' because if it ain't broke don't fix? Part 2 is do you know any of the new Marvel NOW stuff that will be a bit less conventional / more experimental? Thanks!
No, there’s no such rule, but I think that in general the audience seems to be more open to such experimentation on titles that are a little bit further from the center, so the stuff that attracts a devoted and specialized audience such as HAWKEYE or YOUNG AVENGERS might be off-putting to the audience on SPIDER-MAN or X-MEN, at least to a degree. Which kind of makes sense, in that the books with the largest audience tend to skew the most to the center of the road in terms of overall taste, hence their wide appeal. In terms of ALL-NEW NOW, offhand I would say that GHOST RIDER will probably do some of that, and there’s at least one mind-bending issue of SILVER SURFER planed for the future as well that would fit the bill.
