Honestly criticize your favorite writers / artists

DAVE SIM
Fucking loon.

Ha, lock thread.

Straczynski: Defensive and assholish loon; paces very, very slowly, and often to disproportionate payoff.

(I don't think of him as one of my favorite writers, per se, and yet I like almost everything he's done. So...)

Bendis: Sounds like a Kevin Smith character -- probably one played by Jason Lee -- in his letter columns; characters often sound too much alike, especially the cops in Powers.

STEVE DILLON
Can't draw backgrounds.

HERGE: Private life issues aside his attitude to non-Western characters never really 'matured' (yes OK Chang but he's essentially passive), the "we are poor Muslim men Effendi" characters in Coke En Stock (otherwise excellent) would have been pretty dire in the 30s let alone in the mid-60s!

Grant Morrison: falls for characters and situations too much on occasion, leading to stuff like Kill Your Boyfriend. Some of his more experimental work leans a bit too heavily on a poetic gift for language which he doesn't actually possess.*

*OK he possesses it more than you or I do but not as much as some of his stuff would require.

Wooden has stolen everything I wanted to say about my favourite writer.

Eddie Campbell: Needs to realise he is a better writer than artist.
