I think that's a fair response, ERD, I just don't understand why dropping a comic for any reason would be considered an overreaction. I'm familiar with Gulacy's work, and though he was one of the innovators of the multi-paneled cinematic comic book, it doesn't do much for me. Catwoman was the only comic from the Big Two that I regularly bought, despite swearing off books from Marvel and DC long ago. I bought it because it's the only thing by those companies I consider good enough to purchase, and not because of Brubaker's writing. In no way would I suggest that others should follow suit. This isn't a call for a boycott, or even a show of disgust. I have no doubt that Cameron is going on to bigger and better things, as his recent foray into self-publishing shows. It all comes down to personal preference, as a thread on the importance of writers versus artists would no doubt reveal. Happily, this will be the last comic with a writer/artist split I will likely read for a long, long time, so I don't have to worry about the debate.
And the "only the writer" thing should probably have been used with quotes or italics to denote a small degree of sarcasm to make a point. Barbelith has always seemed to be very writer-centric (nothing wrong about that, considering), so it shouldn't surprise me when a change in writers is considered to be more important then the same for artists. |
