| Garrity column on Comixology |
following (sometimes controversial) theses are from Shaenon K. Garrity , who runs a column on Comixology.com. I have roughly translated and shortened the points that interest me particularly highlighted. I would be interested in their sources, as some forecasts seem quite daring. However, it is also hard to disagree with me, I even so some of the trends observed. The question is, as always, not whether the developments are good or bad, but how we handle it.
- first Comic strips in newspapers are dead: There are comic strips, but only in web comic and anthology formats.
- second Monthly expenses are dead: The traditional American format will disappear from lack of quality and significant advantages over other forms of publication.
- third There is no fixed format: The Web's fault.
- 4th The readership is infinitely fragmented: There is a massive number of songs, but almost no one left to really knows everybody.
- 5th There is still a general canon: The consists of: Calvin & Hobbes, Bone, Naruto, Death Note, Watchmen.
- 6th Super heroes are no more comic characters: They populate movies, games, etc. The cartoon characters are human.
- 7th Manga has changed everything: However it is as an end to the hype, because mass is only in a fraction of class.
- 8th The boundary between readers and creative in is thin: Poste on DeviantArt, opens up a blog, put sketchbooks in communities and you'll get some publicity. On the Web, everyone is famous to fifteen people.
- 9th There are mostly girls: professionals as readers.
- 10th And they get better.
