Quid, production of BD 2010?
After have done a little survey around me, with authors, critics and booksellers, The year 2010 is rather a pretty raw sucks. Ok, as a rule 75% of everything that comes out is crap, 15% drinking and are searching all the remaining 10% ... on a production of 4000 titles that should be not bad?
If we turn the 46% MANGA (yes, I read less now), if we turn 12% of ALL COMICS I've already read in VO, and if it turns then 90% of shit ... K'es what remains? Bin this year not much, eh ... I would say on the selection of Angouleme. I checkmated Buying Guide WART who I trust ... and many are not heavy for me this year ... and it makes me really sucks. I would like the comics market is doing well, there is an atmosphere of camaraderie, which is jealous of others' work to the point of wanting to do better than the boys not only have ras ass ambient nepotism. But no, I dream this year, we recovered a production crisis, characterized a withdrawal of creativity ... although never as many FIRST ALBUM were signed. Like what, the cult of youth is not the answer to everything.
AH, yes, there was also all the hay on Digital where instead of granting all the players in the world of comics has held positions that did nothing moving at all. Authors and publishers is to oppose anti-productive. Who is the strongest? Employers or the workers? The market for BD only works on new products. Otherwise publishers (who can not write or draw) that would produce luxurious reissues in all formats, which said ... Tintin, not me ... As a box or DARGAUD CASTERMAN has enough stuff to take 5 years just producing beautiful editions top wig ... and the share of MANGA COMICS and after these 5 years would increase to 55% and COMICS MANGA 17% market share, the nightmare. Well, without wanting to shoot a bazooka at the ambulance, their current share of 46% and MANGA COMICS 12% ... home that makes 58%. So it remains 42% of production francobelge? Shit ... I hope my figures are wrong because otherwise it means we sped over half of output to foreigners!! FOREIGN BONDS and talented and more, those who make you ONE PIECE and WATCHMEN. Row will have to catch up with lost customers or LANFEUST XIII ...
short, publishers need of writers and authors starving without editors. It is certain that little discussion or consultation or even a multiple choice would have been welcomed by the authors. But no, that reminds me, 1947 and the UN behind closed doors discussing the fate of Israel. Even the Israelis had no right to the chapter, and it's not as if there were no problems after a few ...
For once the Yankees and the old continent lived a revolution at the same time, that of digital. ALL publishers who sought for years to read THE GOOD SOFTWARE and sell comics, have embarked on the battle with the launch a fanfare iPAD. It's not complicated I was told the seller of the FNOUC " you got an empty machine that the guy is going to fill basic fissa, a book that takes time to read and it weighs nothing to a hard drive, a music album, you copies of your iTunes playlists ... so he will remain apllications to know where it snows, your car parked where thee and comics!! . No idiot, the seller, eh? He did not know who was MUNOZ & SAMPAYO but he had a deep analysis on digital. The Digital
going to save the comics and the comic, is the new mantra, publishers ... There's only to see sales of the comics ... ACKGROUND uh, was not yet figures ... it seems if you cross the interviews with various editors, it is below the figures of the paper ... but suddenly, they sell more products TWICE before with (minus the digital conformation) the same commodity. Not bad, not bad. The Yankees have about 4000 outlets COMICS. So (the theory WARREN ELLIS) they will soon surpass the 4,000 customers they have doubled their outlets. Not stupid, not con ... In France, there are 500 outlets and 300 about comics that really live the world of comics. It is a good opportunity ... if this could be done without our friends fuck booksellers, it would be cool, thank you.
France will thus accumulate a little behind on the digital but maybe it will not duplicate the shot mythical Minitel, which has cost a well-10 YEARS.
short, this lackluster year has not been conspicuous by its originality, yes, some writers of talent ... continued to be talented authors, the poor remain poor (or worse) and young people are strangely united under a common style of drawing that FABIEN VELHMANN described as "drawing discarded." But waiting for more material over such a short period, I will not throw discredit on our youth. I have enough subsidized PAUL POPE and Darwyn Cooke for years until they become big boys. So wait & see.
I tried to make a list of comics that I liked this year, and I have not had enough to make a list worthy of the name. Then in the next post (the one above, the blow ...) You have my "list of comics that you probably missed. Next year will be great or will be the beginning of a long and painful period when the dead will rise and storms will empty the streets ... garbage and corpses. We beat up to a liter of petrol and we will all studded bracelets to scare each other ... Or not ... it'll be alright or we will feel it move ...
