Comic With Crossover Appeal
USATODAY.com - It's...Superman! in all his complexity
I've seen this comic by Steven Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen advertised for the past few months leading up to its release and the book really looks interesting. The book is about Seagle's struggle with writing the original superhero - Superman.
I enjoy "behind the veil" stuff like this. Where an artist creates a piece of art that explores and reveals how he/she creates his work. Plus, I've always enjoyed Seagle's writing and Kristiansen's artwork. The only thing stopping me from buying the book was the $24.95 price tag. Sure, the comic is a hardback - not the usual paperback, and as hardback books go $24 is pretty reasonable. I'm working with a limited comic book budget. $24 would get me two trade paperbacks, which It's a Bird will probably be released as in 9 to 12 months.
In any event. Read the article. Check out the book if you want. Because of the main themes in It's a Bird, the comic really has crossover appeal to readers who might not be interested in comics - especially superhero comics.
