Amazon Enters Comic Market

With their own imprint.

I’m actually surprised it took this long, and it sounds like they’re bringing in some heavy hitters.

I also figure it won’t take long for them to combine this with their fanfic options, CreateSpace, etc.  It’s just them entering a logical market.

Of course this also puts them in competition with a lot of others out there, especially e-comics.

Are All Superhero Movies Looking The Same

Well it’s apparently “Hollywood is screwed” day  . . .  er week . . . or . . . well you get the idea.

This author points out some interesting factors on the genericization of heroes.  There’s definitely a point here, though I’d say some elements are archetypical.  No differentiation is a marketing problem . . .
