Q

successivelyunsuccessful asked:

It seems funny that you never post valid, well reasoned criticism of your work and your response to it, only rabid haters. Seems like you do so to smear all your critics by association. I've followed you for a while because I like a lot of the art you reblog and will continue to do so, but it's it is glaring that I have never once seen you engage with a fan that has a valid concern.

A

well, that is dizzyingly not true.  on so many levels. 

go to the archive. its all there.  

BUT i do not post any comment positive or negative that has a spoiler in the comment. i have begged people on here not to ask me spoiler questions or questions with spoilers in them.

because its not fair to everyone else.  some people write me: why did you kill this person? or why did that person kiss that person? and its a spoiler… right in the question.  its not fair to the not wednesday warriors,

 this blog is for creative inspiration. for myself and for others. thats why i always answer every creative or process question asked of me and repost them in a dedicated process blog.

that’s where i think i can be of the most service…

but even though in my heart i feel the work must speak for itself and the nature of episodic fiction makes most comment obsolete in a month or two (cap hydra debacle) i still answer the big ones because i know i’m sometimes handling some touchy subjects

and if you don’t believe me, you just asked me a critical question and i answered it straight.

the archive is open, go have fun.

AND if you really want to hear me get into it go to the wordballoon bendis tapes archive.  we’ve done YEARS of podcasts and i have shied away from no topic. and we discuss things at a length and with verve that this format just does not allow.
