These are things that irritate me about American comics.
>Every few years, I get the chance to talk to Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson, which ends up as some kind of sprawling chat. On the occasion of Image Day tomorrow, the 25th anniversary of the release of their first comic book – and fourteen years since he became publisher, we had a chance to look back – and look forward.
>Rich: I bought Youngblood #1 when it came out. I think you did as well, Eric. Image are publishing comics by people who weren’t born then. What difference do you see in comic book creators who didn’t know a time when there wasn’t an Image Comics?
>Eric: I think the big difference is that creator-owned comics are a viable option, as opposed to something creators have to struggle for. Creator-owned comics are a normal part of the business now, and there are fewer and fewer writers and artists who seem especially surprised by the fact we do what we do here at Image.
>>89569458
>Rich: Twenty-five years before Image was founded, Jack Kirby was still writing and drawing Fantastic Four. That’s the same span between then and the foundation of Image Comics and between that and now. Have you seen as many changes for the opportunities of comic book creators in the second timespan as you did the first?
>Eric: Well, look at it this way: When Jim Valentino first called me up around the end of 1991 and asked what I thought about him, Rob, Todd, Erik, Marc, Jim, and Whilce getting together to start their own company, I wanted to break into comics, but my options were pretty limited. It was pretty much work-for-hire or self-publish at that point in time, because the smaller publishers that did do creator-owned material weren’t really bringing on loads of new books. As a result, I think the majority of aspiring comics writers and artists were thinking about which established characters they wanted to work on, as opposed to how to create new work, whereas as you say, today the talent pool has grown up with Image and other creator-owned publishers. That alone is a pretty significant development, but beyond that, writers, artists, colorists, and letterers are generally paid better than they’ve ever been paid, plus some of the things offered as compensations to anyone doing work-for-hire — royalties, exclusives — are greatly improved over years’ past.
>>89569463
>Rich: How do you think the Image founders would have reacted if you could have shown them a 2017 Image back then?
>Eric: I suppose that depends on the founder, really, but if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say favorably. When Image was first starting, Valentino and I talked a lot about what he envisioned for the company, and you know, he came from an indie comics background, so he was talking about Image bringing in that type of talent. That being the case, I think Image looks very much like he hoped it would — a diverse group of talent doing books that appeal to every type of reader. I know from talking to Todd over the years that he’s very proud of the fact that the creators who’ve come along since the beginning do things their own way — when he spoke at Image Expo a couple years back, he likened it to “passing the torch,” and honestly, I’d be surprised if all the founders didn’t look at it that way. It was never their intention to create a homogenized slate of books that were nearly indistiguishable from one another — they invited other people to join them at Image because they wanted everyone to enjoy the same freedom they had. If you look at some of the earliest non-founder series Image published — Sam Kieth’s The Maxx probably being the best example — Image could be whatever the individual creators wanted. People sometimes forget that Jeff Smith published Bone through Image for a while in the mid-‘90s — everyone was thrilled to have that in the line-up. If you look at the best work over the history of the company — and remember Warren Ellis produced a lot of visionary work through WildStorm when Jim Lee was still at Image, things like Planetary, Stormwatch, and The Authority; Alan Moore did 1963 and Supreme, Kurt Busiek started Astro City here, Joe Madureira did Battle Chasers, Matt Wagner was doing Mage — it doesn’t look all that different from what we’re doing now.

>Rich: Everyone has a “Day” now it seems. I blame Free Comic Book Day. Now we have Batman Day. Aliens Day. C-Day for Crossed. What can we expect from today – Image Day?
>Eric: The great thing about Image Comics Day is that the actual date of our 25th anniversary fell on a Wednesday, on new comics day, this year, so it seemed like a great opportunity to partner with some stores to celebrate who we are, what we do, and all the great talent we work with. To that end, we have invited our retailer partners to celebrate with us, with over 40 stores hosting in-store events across the U.S., in Canada, in Australia, in Ireland, and in the U.K. on Wednesday, February 1. Nearly 100 creators are participating, so it’s going to be a big day for anyone interested in meeting the creative minds behind their favorite Image books. In addition to all that, we’re sending out some promo materials specific to the event, including window clings, a guide to some of Image’s top titles, a poster, bookmarks, and of course, we’re going to have a week’s worth of new comics on the stands, including the first of our 25th anniversary tribute variants, and the 25¢ issue of The Walking Dead.

is hank the good guy?

He is a good person that fucks up, he is a terrible parent that has the correct idea of what he wants but can't adapt to his terrible son, has no problem getting violent with strangers as a man should never be afraid, but at the same time he is terrible when it comes to the bitch he has as a wife, he isnt a bad friend but he isnt good either.
He holds the right beliefs in pretty much everything, its open to change and willing to integrate new ideas into the shit he likes. But he is fucks ups and doesnt know how to get from point A to point B.

bobby has never actually done anything that merits being terrible besides being fat

>bobby has never actually done anything that merits being terrible besides being fat
Its a dumb faggot that NEVER tries to improve himself, its a clown that seeks validation from EVERYONE but his father and authority figures.
The only time he did something good was when he was in the shoting range, when i was a kid i hated faggots like bobby, he is the kind of fat blob that without proper bullying will grow up to be a purple haired trans cuck,
Bobby is shit. There's a simple question you can do about any male character to know how big of a fuck up faggot he is: could he had fought in the ww2 and survived?
The answer is not, and before you say he beat his grandpa's record, remember he did that by being semi-autistic. Bobby is shit, it's the product of a terrible woman ruining a the son of a decent man
Bludhhaven finale!

>It was better than Frozen
>Didn't gain traction like Zootopia or Frozen
>No one fucking talks about it and it'll end up cult status like Treasure Planet and Atlantis
What the fuck?
>make a movie about brown people

> it'll end up cult status like Treasure Planet and Atlantis
It received critical acclaim and made way more money than either of those though.
Story was a mess, terrible pacing, stupid power of love deus ex machina ending, biggest big lipped alligator moment since the 90s, moana is le strong female protagonist with no personality, mauis motivation for stealing the jewel didn't make sense, etc etc etc. movie was total hackwork. Doesn't deserve to be remembered as anything other than that
Ain't it true!
