So I’ve stopped updating the comics section unannounced. I’m sorry, really. But my passion has always been crafting a superhero comic, all along. That’s not to say I’m done with Colored Comics.com, but I will (continue to) be gone for a while, while I continue to do craft some long form comics.
So I haven’t posted anything in a few weeks. My apologies. I’ve been busy. Drawing, exercising and life in general. But in what is the weekend that unofficially starts the summer movie season, I was motivated to return to coloredcomics.com, not with a comic but with a blog post. My inspiration coming from having just seen Thor and Jumping the Broom.
Comics, Comic Books and Film are my favorite forms of entertainment, and towards the latter half of the last decade Hollywood began to merge and exploit the best of the two mediums. We’ve seen some great films born of this marriage, like Dark Knight, Iron Man & 300, some good movies The Incredible Hulk (Edward Norton’s take) and some awful movies. And of the bad, as of late it seems there’s too many to name. Now rather go over the rhetorical question of has the Superhero/comic genre peaked, I’d like to explore why it has worked in the past and floundered a bit as of late…
