In Response To: Re: DD #19 Shipped yesterday... (Estlin)

: David,

: I thought it was a great change of pace from the usual DD
: story. I liked how it was essentially a story about DD
: but through the eyes of Ben and Timmy. I really liked
: the idea that Ben was upset because he knew JJ
: wouldn't want to print the story that he wanted to
: write.

Not to give away some of the meanings that Brian layered into his script, but if it has not yet occurred to you...

Read the Ben, Jonah, Journalism stuff again from the first issue. Ben talking about the newspaper industry is actually a direct metaphor for the comic book industry. There is a lot of good stuff in there that I don't think people have actually realized.

You have to follow your instincts and do the story that pulls at your heart rather than what the percieved publishing rule is of "what will sell".

: Not to mention that the art was amazing. I really like
: how you changed art styles depending on what you were
: trying to convey. IE the "crayon" look of
: the fights with DD and the Fury. This was a great way
: to emphasize who the perspective was from.

: Thanks for a great arc to all involved. I hope to see
: more of this type of work throughout comicdom.

: Later,

: Estlin
