Writers and such...

I am, at best, an interested onlooker in the world of comics. I owe most of what I know to my gaming group and husband. I don't read anything on a regular basis, although I try to remember to haul myself to the comic store for Buffy: Season Eight, Angel: Season Six, and Fables ([info]cats_n_crying , stop twitching).

That being said, I find this essay on the recent continuity rollback of Spiderman absolutely facinating, even though I don't actually read the comic. I'm interested in what the more comic book-literate of my friendslist thinks about it.

I do know that I've witnessed the same phenomena in "regular" fiction writers, such as Mercedes Lackey and Laurell K. Hamilton. Granted there were other circumstances to go along with the laziness/pandering to a misunderstood and underestimated fanbase that [livejournal.com profile] theferrett cites, but I find it interesting nonetheless.
