The way to save comics is to stop being bad writers.

Depends on what your reading because with Marvel's MAX imprint its going good with the Punisher title.

With the tough economy and comic book shooting up to the $3.99 I'd say ignore Kirkman and stay with the corporates...at least you have a job.

There is something of a tendency for top creators to go indy to begin with... but quite frankly only some newbies are good, and it's still really helpful to have old guns around to do stuff even most good newbies can't.

Where's Kirkman's room for top creators who want to write dark complex stories featuring say, I dunno, Spider-man? Can they only use their own creations or are they allowed to play with someone elses toys?

Also by implication, is he saying there are no indie comics for kids and shoe horning indie comics with the dark and complex adult genre?

He seems to be making a lot of vague statements.

So much fail. Where to begin?

That's a good point. Morrison's metatextual Final Crisis *needs* Superman/Darksied/etc..
