A dickgirl webcomic artist is legitimately one of DC's best recent hires

Before the internet all the comic artists got their start doing independent comics of their own, there was just no internet to showcase it. Webcomic format just makes it easier for the big industry people to look at your work and see how good it is.

No, poorly managing webcomic talent, and ALL of their new talent, is Marvel's mistake.

Proper editors doing their fucking jobs and helping the new talent refine and improve themselves would solve a shitload of Marvel's creative problems but that's seen as a bad investment nowadays.

I'm not sure if you went with Gurihiru to annoy people, or because you're genuinely dumb.

>>94437735
Fucking.
This.

The writer, you idiots.

Hastings is probably the only good webcomic writer they've hired.

He's been working at Marvel for 5 years now?

>>94437949

Hastings is a much better writer than most comic writers.

>>94437622
nah, hiring based on gender/race/sexuality instead of talent or skill

>>94437949
You mean one of Marvel's only remaining decent writers who has worked for them for years?

Why did you not go with Kate Leth?
Sure she's gone, but that was recent and she's a much better example of what's wrong with current Marvel.

>>94437949
Hastings wrote that Longshot mini, which was great. Honestly Marvel should have him on more shit.

Announcing comics they don't have creative teams for is also a pretty terrible thing they do these days.

>>94437949
OP's image is of Gurihiru art with no speech bubbles so how is anyone to think this thread was referring to hastings writing.

>>94437622
No, sales are going to be horrible regardless because nobody buys things anymore now that we have the internet, it would be a bad decision for them to spend money on actual talent.
