SECOND CHANCES

 “The one thing about The New 52 is that you can’t reintroduce these characters twice. You have to make sure when you do it; you do it right, If you look at them across the line, there are some books where they’ve done a great job reintroducing characters and some where they’ve done a terrible job.”

Writers, Artist & Editors

The job of a writer is to tell a story. To create a successful story it must have an intriguing plot, make compelling and memorable characters but most importantly it must entertain the reader.

In comics the job of an artist is to create a visual representation for the ideas that the writer attempts to create.

The job of the editors, for a company like DC or Marvel, is to set up parameters for the writers and artist not to hinder their creativity. A good editor can inspire a writer with a single idea.

The Success

PART 1 - PART 3 - PART 4 

Not everything has been bad in the New 52. There are still a lot of books that not only have great quality but they actually sell well also.

Comic books like Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and many others are selling well and don’t suck. However every time I look at such titles I have to wonder something…

Are these books good because of the reboot or are they good despite of it?
