StumblyWumbly posted:I think the big question is: Why would a creator go with Vertigo over Image Vertigo to me is the perfect encapsulation of all 'indie/alt/whatever' publishers (that don't fold). "Oh hey, we released this first set of series, they're incredible! Oh... now we released some alright series... Ok, the third set is all crap, go read stuff from the next new publisher." It's kind of weird, but I do feel like that's generally how it goes. It's interesting to me what causes it, is it essentially just the the companies becoming more corporate? Is it just the same-old fight on creator-ownership/control?

Eh, they were pretty alternative at the time, that was their whole angle. I think I'm safe with my phrasing. My point was that I feel like a lot of publishers have had similar bursts of coolness followed by a slow downgrade in quality. I suppose it could just be that being lucky enough to secure some abnormally awesome talent at the start is the reason they're successful enough to even be on the radar, and that constantly knowing what will be the best idea ever is really hard.

Lightning Lord posted:Well, maybe provide some other examples? I take it from your demands for other examples that you disagree that a lot of publishers start out strong and then get worse? You don't say you are, but otherwise you're just going "YOU'RE NOT FACTS ENOUGH" with no investment in the conversation, so I'm gonna benefit-of-the-doubt and assume you do have a stance. If you would like to have a conversation about this, please let me know your opinion and I would be happy to respond based on what your opinion is. I will not be doing a thing where I prove that my 'huh interesting' thought is the hard and fast 100% truth, though.

Lightning Lord posted:No, I was just interested in the idea. I want examples because I am interested, not because I am trying to discredit your opinion. Oh ok, well then I apologize for being snappish. Like I said, it was early and I had yet to have my first cup of coffee. I'll get back when I can bring up some specific examples
