So they do have blindspots.Paul Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366796946594435087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144399331286018170.post-86080032451815254532009-11-04T15:45:27.254-08:002009-11-04T15:45:27.254-08:00Novels still used to have the clear advantage of a...Novels still used to have the clear advantage of a much longer shelf life, but that's changed too.

Not a perfect indicator, I don't think, but definitely a good finger in the wind for what fans are thinking about things.<br /><br />One of the things I love about doing monthly comics, aside from what you mentioned, is that every month is a fresh start, a chance to make a new impression. With a novel, say, you get a single chance to make a splash, but with comics you continue to get feedback, and can sometimes win people over from issue to issue. <br /><br />Anyway, Wednesday is definitely my favorite day of the week.Matthew Sturgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955173278935986450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144399331286018170.post-64243973713039991022009-11-03T23:44:11.262-08:002009-11-03T23:44:11.262-08:00It's deadly female spy Wednesday.It's deadly female spy Wednesday.Paul Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366796946594435087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144399331286018170.post-8450270309994757522009-11-03T18:36:32.267-08:002009-11-03T18:36:32.267-08:00And Black Widow is of course about a deadly female...And Black Widow is of course about a deadly female spy.
