Respecting the hero’s world

On July 14, 2011, Peter DeCourcy wrote on Comicbookdaily about the theory of comic-book writers. In his opinion, there are only four or five authors who really stand out from the herd within the US comic book universe, and he seemed to deplore the fact. We disagree. We worry about authors who want to impose their narrative style onto a universe that already has a very rich existence. Sometimes it seems that more emphasis is placed on a distinct style than on the main character, which the style is supposed to render.
