HarveySwick Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I love Rossmo's art, and think his style was made for Bedlam. Crushed me when I heard he was leaving the book... I'll keep reading, but I really liked the fit. +1 (thumbs u ......TEST TEST > 05/02/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) hmmmm, some random thoughts: there seem to be two main attitudes on these boards to discussing books. There are people in both camps I like and respect. the two perspectives I see: a.) Don't say negative things about creators because they work hard and sometimes read the boards. Have more respect. b.) It's a message board, the point of it is for people to express themselves and we are free to say whatever we want (within the context of the rules). ==== In response to a.) I would make the following points - professional "creative" people, writers, artists, by definition are opening themselves up to critique. That is part of their career and there will ALWAYS be people that don't like something. -We don't need to treat creators with kid gloves, they are big boys and girls and if they really care what "some guy" thinks on the interwebz they are in the wrong business -I am not one to be into "hero worship", fame, money, power, etc, doesn't impress me. Whether its a president, movie star, comic creator, or whatever, . I can be a fan and really like or respect them, but I am not going to be bowing down or kissing any feet. In response to b.) I would make the following points: -obviously this is a lot closer to where my perspective lies. It's cool to have creators etc here, and I am definitely in favour of making it a positive place for them. BUT, we are all equal here from the perspective of the message board, and everyone has the same right to express themselves. Whether 1 post or 10,000 , it doesnt matter, EQUAL. -BUT, i will say, that expressing criticism or dislike for something should be done in a polite and considerate way. Trolling, or viciously trashing something is obviously rude and going to far. There needs to be a balance, between propriety in speaking vs dissent being squelched. there's my bag of pennies. Edit: For the record: - i love spencer's work and I think riley is very talented. - i don't like bedlam, story or art, I've moved on but I am certainly still interested in other work from both.

plasticmoz Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well said. However, in regard to a) -- I don't think treating anyone with basic decency is handling them with kid gloves. Flat out coming on a public board and saying a creator sucks doesn't seem to serve any real purpose at all. There are certainly better ways to elaborate which can actually be constructive (alternatively, keeping it to yourself). I think your final couple of lines sums up how to do this pretty well.

It's print run has fallen every month, hopefully getting some interviews and exposure on big time sites like CBR will make people remember it, give it another try, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a serial killer, some outrageous stuff, cool art, weird characters, and totally different from most of the stuff out there. BEDLAMM! I'm making it my mission to promote The BEDLAM!

Mr. Hog Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 This will be the most polarizing art yet. I personally don't like it, but then again I didn't like the art before. That said, it fits the personality of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
