Here comes the newest YA author who joins Marvel. >chances

>>92857234
Please hire comic writers jesus.

>>92857258
No, just hire competent writers.

>>92857234
Is her name literally Rainbow? Was Snowflake taken?

Marvel, really really wants the young female reader market. I don't know why, just glancing at twitter and tumblr shows they're more cancerous than the comic reading base that already exists.

>>92857258
Cape comic book writers are shit though, anyone with any shred of talent goes on to write something original or moves onto writing real books.

wikipedia says all her other works where critical and commercial successes, and yea its all young adult fiction but its not as if the average comic book is any better than the average YA novel.

im willing to give her a chance

>>92857258
All the good ones are flocking to creator owned work, it's a smart move trying to get people who are already successful and just want to try writing superhero stuff

When are they going to hire a real writer?

>>92857258
Look YA writers have been failing for them going back to Tamora Pierce but this time it'll all work out. A fat probably hyper-liberal woman named Rainbow? That's an indicator of quality comic book writing!

>>92857435
That's what they said about Gabby Rivera

>>92857318
ahmed wrote middle eastern fantasy before being signed

>>92857234
>check the plot summaries of her previous works

>Fangirl: protag is a college- attending female fanfic writer with social anxiety disorder
>Attachment: guy falls in love with girl who's down on her love life luck after reading her email exchanges with a friend of her
>Landline: how a 39 year old female writer gets to talk with the past version of her boyfriend

I don't know if she's a good writer but I'm pretty sure I'm not her target audience.

>>92857338
Probably because regardless of their whining they've made some franchises into huge cash cows.

>>92857435
2 of them are adult, no young: Attachment and Landline

Why does Marvel purposely want to run itself into the ground. There's hundreds of comic writers to pull from. Female ones even.

I'm talking about real writers, not YA "writers".

This quote of Morrison's from Supergods I think fits here, sort of.
>Screenwriters, tried-and-tested storytellers from a more glamorous medium, were the only strangers admitted into the comics field during this time of withdrawal and consolidation. They were fawned over like good-looking girls who’d finally noticed us and who might attract other better-looking girls to our shabby party or invite us home to join theirs. Unsurprisingly they didn’t write comics quite as well or with the same freewheeling abandon as the people who did it for a living, and few lingered beyond their first few unimpressive checks. (To make good money in comics, it was necessary to write an awful lot of pages every month.) Joss Whedon, the creator of the long-running Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, stuck at it longer than most, with an emotive, extended run on Astonishing X-Men. Allan Heinberg’s short but effervescent burst on 2006’s nineteen-millionth Wonder Woman revamp was another rare exception, but the writer, who’d worked on the youth drama The O.C., couldn’t stand the poisonous atmosphere of comics fandom and made a swift, quiet exit after a promising start, leaving the field once more to the diehards.

>>92858160
It's about a socially anxious female Harry Potter fanfic writer. You'd have to work real hard for tumblr to not like it.

>>92857258
All the good comic writers are dead, retired, or just not working with Marvel.

Marvel should hire Pynchon.

At least she looks like a female and isn't fake in comparison to Gabbie

>>92857586
Is she a good writer?

I mean not all comic writers tend to be good either and they bring a lot of fanfiction ideas and always try to regress things to how they were when they were reading comics.

It's why we got shit like Gwen Stacy fanwanking, OMD, Marvel staff pushing their OCs over some of the established heroes, character assasination because a writer had a grudge with said particular character, etc....

>>92858381
I feel like book writers could make the move, their fandoms can be just as shitty and autistic as comic fandoms amd they write a lot anyway.

>>92857502
Gabby Rivera only had one book, at least this lady has a somewhat-respectable bibliography

It wasn't enough with the one from America Chavez?

>>92858002
Speaking of the chonga devil.

>>92858547
I'm not disagreeing but Marvel is definitely falling into the trap Morrison is talking about here. Like they hired Coates, made such a big deal about it and hoped that more literary writers would follow Coates if they thought they would be treated as celebrities and savior of the medium. It's why every time Marvel hires these writers they make such a big deal about it. But noneof them are going to stick with Marvel or even this medium. It's better to invest in writers who really want to write comics as you are trying to build your stable for next generation than the guys that are going to treat writing comics as a hobby.

>>92857258
>>92857318

The problem is that writing good books doesn't exactly translate into writing good comics. You can't just hand over a manuscript with descriptions of the scenes/panels with dialogue and be done with it (which I suspect the new recruits at Marvel do). It leaves a burden to the artist who has to do none more than half of the work by setting up everything.
This can lead to confusion and a bad flow between panels, pages and dialogue.

Ideally, a comicbook writer should at least a good grasp on panel layouts, and image composition. Hand over a very rough idea with characters, objects and dialogue bubbles in their place, either drawing it like a storyboard or being very specific.
Otherwise, they have to work closely with the artist who will have to first give their own thumbnails of how everything should be set up before drawing, they get feedback and then hand over another thumbnail and so on. (another reason why I think Marvel has a problem of delays with good artists and have to relay on bad but quick ones)

This is not the fault of the writers but of the editors, who should be the ones guiding new writers into knowing how to write comicbooks effectively.

>>92858645
>literally few novels
>all are YA/self serving tier
At least get someone like Peter Watts or China Mieville so people can actually get hyped about this shit.

>>92857234
Oh, I've read one book from this author(Fangirl). It probably just wasn't to my taste since it still got a lot of praise, but I found it a bit bland overall and thought the heroine was annoying. It basically felt like a 'relatable' slice-of-life story with some romance fluff and family drama but nothing drastic. Considering the other stuff Rowell's written, I'm surprised she's doing comics.

>>92858850
They should hand these fuckers Scott McCloud first time they visit the office.

>>92857234
They're almost literally getting gay fanfic writers to work for Marvel now.

>>92860166
Coates never wrote fiction until Black Panther.

>>92858850
This. If you're scouting from lit writers, they need to be looking for strong dialogue and inventive plots above all else and then give them a crash course on the way comics are made and how to write in that context.

Really I wish they recruited more from indie and web comics who are already proven.

IIRC Shooter would give pages of wordless Kirby F4 and tell prospective writers to fill in the dialogue as a writing test. He'd also drill new hires in a crash course on comic writing and what was expected from a Marvel comic.

I haven't read any of her books, but if her twitter is any indication of her personality, lets hope she can keep her writing and her politics at least slightly separate. Especially if she's working on Runaways.

Please no more comics about gentrification and veiled black lives matter stories.

>>92857258
No, it would be fine if they did like DC and put professional writers from elsewhere into a program to learn how to write comics and then put them on books. It's just the direct hiring that can be a problem.

Apparently most pro comics writers just turn in scripts written like prose or a screenplay. It ends up falling on the artist more than the writer to actually lay out the story

>>92857493
I think it safe to assume that Marvel has lost most of its good will towards most industry writers. That or its cheaper to hire people outside the industry because they don't know better.

Not that her twitter gives any indication of her reading comics in recent history.

People like that are utterly incapable of doing it as we've been seeing over the last two years.

>>92864257
BKV and the guy writing Flintstones do ok.

>>92864329
Flintstones (and Prez and Snagglepuss) are nothing but politics.

>>92864120
Preteen girls have been reading comics for fifteen years, except it used to be all manga. Some comics have finally tapped into that market.

>>92864391
I don't know about Prez, but Flintstones goes at everything. Which is completely fair.

Similarly BKV has progressive ideas and characters but they're not put on pedestals. They get argued with. Proven wrong and are generally flawed.

I don't think most people are against actual social justice, actual liberal ideals, but they don't like being preached to. Runaways drops it throughout so complaining that it exists at all would be retarded. Gert's introduced by an argument with her parents about socialism and semantics.

Unlike say, Coates, having Storm call white people mayonnaise and complain about gentrification then have cops attack her that she quickly dispatches. Riri, America and Moon Girl have pages of people telling them how fucking great they are.

Be more subtly. Just be more subtle. Tell stories about characters instead of issues.

>>92864949
>actual liberal ideals,
Socially liberal. I mean.

Not trying to argue economic policy or anything.

It depends on the Artist and Writer combo. Some writers form bonds with certain artists and over the years they start to understand what the other wants Wait does this alot especially for his single shot comics like Irredeemable. Since his shit usually falls into the metaphysical or philosophical genre it leaves the artist with no place to go.

Then you got guys who just push shit because of deadlines. This is most common with cape shit. The industry is different depending on what end of the spectrum you're from; indie or Cape.

As a not-so-young adult who had to read YA for work, they're pretty much on par with cape comics in terms of quality. There's some pretty good stuff that fans think is genius, a large majority of mediocre stuff and some of the worst things ever put to print.

>>92857338
It's a number of factors and it's the same with all nerdy stuff. Teenage girls have disposable income, are terrible with money , and give you a ton of free advertisement on their social media accounts. They're basically the perfect consumer for the modern era. In addition, they've completely saturated the horny teenage boys and man child market. Which is a problem because modern companies are obsessed with endless unrealistic growth instead of steady returns. So they're desperate to get th money of the other 50 percent of the population.

>>92857234
If they're announcing it at a book con, it would be likely that she's writing a novel, not a comic.

>>92867507
Cape comics in the past and some that come out even now can easily be categorized higher art, no YA stuff can ever be considered that.

>>92867931
Why don't they put out those shitty romance novels of fujo-bait like those manga that were all the rage a decade ago?
Easy money.

An added bonus would be that more chicks would be flicking themselves off and won't be as driven to hate everything.

>>92868440
Because they're greedy and shortsighted. They want to hold on to the male demographic and get the female demographic without having to take any risk with the new series. They want everything they produce to appeal to as big of an audience is possible. Unfortunately for them, the stuff that legbeards and horny teenage girls want doesn't appeal to anyone except teenage girls and legbeards. All there doing is switching form one niche audience to another while desperately trying to keep both.

Good comic book writers no longer want to write capeshit.

>takes pride in pirating its comics
I bet you can lay a lot of blame for this on not just the ridiculously rising cost of floppies, but on guys like Brevoort and his "angry fans buy more" shit. That may have been true in the past (it was), but these days it's too easy to pirate the shit you just want to rage-read. Unfortunately, that's most of Marvel's current output.

Well, big two is at their lowest point right now.

If a normal writer wants to try their hand at comics, there's really no reason for them not to as long as they put in the effort to learn the medium. Dan Slott is proof that just being someone who only wants to write comics doesn't mean jack shit for making a comic.

Marvel BADLY needs new blood because the current crop of "I loved superheroes as a kid and now I'm making superheroes :D" writers are part of why the company is in a death spiral. I don't know if this person will help any, but I'll give anyone a shot at this point, because Marvel's bar is so fucking low.

>can be categorized high art
Oh give me a break. The only time comics were considered high art in the US by anyone who isn't a blatant comicsfag is when that plagiarist blew up some panels and sold them as paintings. And those weren't even capes.

>>92873629
Vision. I know it's a meme answer but it has a lot going for it.

>>92873863
High art in the sense that they can be considered equal to good literature, music or cinema.

>>92874513
They aren't though, not by anybody who isn't 't primarily a comics consumer or maker.
Even animation gets more respect.

Maybe if we were talking about how it's seen in Francophony where comics are actually considered the 9th high art, but even then they really don't have any respect for capes or most American comics.

>>92874636
>They aren't though, not by anybody who isn't 't primarily a comics consumer or maker.
A lot of cultural critics and scholars that actually know about the medium but are outsiders would disagree.

>>92874727
A lot of critics and scholars think my dick can talk tagalog in rhymes.

>>92874789
>dude it doesn't matter if they're considered high art by people whose opinions actually matter
>if I say they're not high art, they aren't. Stop ruining my perception towards comic books as a medium
Thanks my man, you seem enlightened enough.

>>92874951
>my perception
But I like comics, they're just a joke to most other people, including most art critics. For every "person who matters" who thinks comics are high art you'll find at least 2 of the same category who think they're worthless. They're widely regarded with contempt.

And even when some niche artfags talk about the artistic value of cape comics, at least 80% of the argument is "it's culturally impactful" not "it has intrinsic merits".

>>92857234
Is she a good writer though? Legitimately asking here.

>>92875126
The perception that comics are children's entertainment is what leads many people to believe that the medium is low art form. What they don't know or disregard is that comics are not only culturally relevant but that they have their achievements in literary regions as well. In the introductions or forewords of a lot of avant grade comics, you'd see some cultural critic or professor or literary artist admit how they had wrong perception of comic books. Even in academic essays this idea repeats itself and lot. That's why I said people who actually know about comics medium would agree. There are always dumbasses that read Donald Duck in their childhood and thought that's all the medium was. And comics being a niche medium doesn't lend itself to the most opportunities of getting in these discussions but the perception is changing at steady rate.
>And even when some niche artfags talk about the artistic value of cape comics, at least 80% of the argument is "it's culturally impactful" not "it has intrinsic merits".
That's bullshit. Just go in a college classroom or a seminar discussing comics and you'd realize that they're discussing at lengths about the artistic merit of the text, not social merits about the medium.

>>92875528
>actually shitting on Donald Duck comics while thinking you're defending the medium
Let it go dude.

>>92875857
Not all Donald Duck was written by Carl Barx and not all of it was avant grade fiction. There's a hierarchy of comics literature, you'd dumb to deny that. That's besides the point though, point which you did not actually address.

>>92875967
I did not adress it because your whole argument is about the literary merits of a visual medium, and also it's anecdotic.

Also cultural =/= social.

Also it's "Barks".

>>92874513
Literature does every single genre besides capes better than comics.
Also, the sky is fucking blue.

>>92857234
When was the last time Marvel hired an actual comic book writer instead of a novelist or some shit?

>>92863481
Yeah, they required transcendental unbirth hypno bimbofication of female characters.

>>92858340
Why would real writers ever stoop to cape comics? That'd be like a respected, award winning movie director deciding to do the next season of CSI: Miami.

>>92877201
Joe Hill makes some great horror comics and he's actual written successful novels for adults. The New Tales from the the Dark side comic was great.

>>92867519
Considering there's nothing you can google that's actually concrete and if you do look him up and get things like EmptyHero and Smegmaking what the fuck do you think anon

>>92878882
I don't know who any of those people are so even if I did look it up I wouldn't understand the joke. Sorry I'm not fluent in twitter shitlords.

>>92878307
Joe Hill is much better comic book writer than he is a novelist

>>92858850
True, people give King too much credit on how a scene is composed when he quite often shows us in his scripts that he uploads on twitter how fairly little he actually influences beyond panel layout.

>>92877201
Old example but Moorcock.

At the expense of his Twitter account.

>>92857258
Comic writers are a risk because

-Maybe half of the ones working now actually understand things like panel composition, let alone how to tell a good story. Even less among unproven ones.
-They tend to be fans and therefore probe to NOT MUH
- They rarely have any name recognition
-Quality doesn't sell anymore.
