The licensed stuff, which fills the shelves at my local stores, is particularly poor, often amateurish, and actively puts me off ever reading them.<br /><br />And there's a LOT of Image books I don't like, including some very popular titles, but there is enough good stuff to keep me happy.Bob Temukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181473725170489213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-53131540156665989542014-04-11T02:21:13.828+12:002014-04-11T02:21:13.828+12:00You're cherry picking. Half the books at Imag...You're cherry picking. Half the books at Image Central are hideous and no better than the artistic work at any of the indies. I'd say the top artists at Avatar, Dynamite, Oni, IDW, etc are easily equal to the mid/lower tier of Image any day. Sure the best at image rival the best in the entire industry but I see no reason to disparage the indies as if there was no talent to be found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
