House of X #4 - "It Will Be Done"

I'm not sure how you get away from doing metaphor when you're writing X-books. I suppose that, narratively, the problem nowadays is interpretation. Are we talking about a stand-in for marginalized groups, or the metaphor simply being a substitution of the word 'different' for 'special', or is the real modern complication atomization? Where everything is segmented to such a degree that there are no stories which mean something to everyone. Where the psychological expectation is something catered, or personalized. I suspect that last bit also has a lot to do with why we've been in a nostalgic feedback loop for quite a while. Where everyone is telling X-Men stories about other X-Men stories. -- Jonathan Hickman

Batman #78-79 - "City of Bane," Part 4-5

[laughing_tree]

Tony draws physically, so Tony's going to sell those pages. If I don't give Tony a beautiful splash page, if I just give him people talking, then I feel like I'm taking money out of Tony's pocket, you know? It doesn't do any good to fuck over my artist. And Mitch, Mitch likes drawing everyday stuff, and he draws digitally. So I give him everyday stuff! Or, Clay's a mega fan of Magnum, P.I. Like, a mega fan. So we're going to do something in Hawaii so he can watch Magnum, P.I. while he draws all day. You adjust the arc, to make it help your partner. That's how you make good comics. -- Tom King
