Mutant Texas Review
Mutant Texas review
This is a good comic because it represents an example of two people who have worked on a lot of other peoples ideas and are animation and comics insiders spontaneously collaborating on something of their own design. There's a lot of indie comics out there but what makes this cool is that the creators already have a lot of experience on a more professional level than what you'd expect from a usual indie comic. Not that there's anything wrong with the way self published or solo artists and indie collaborations draw and produce their comics- what's interesting to me is reading an indie comic by creators who have experience in the animation and comics industry. If you don't see how this is different... I can't talk with authority because I'm not an insider but the way a big operation comic works , like Superman or something , is the company says were gonna have such and such a story., and they pick a writer and an artist to collaborate. I imagine its a production more like a movie in terms of creative vision stemming not from one person but from a collective. Now, that might sound bad to someone who likes more alternative comics a lot like myself but what's important is, these animators and career comic artists and writers have experience that you just don't get working alone. Again, I can't speak with authority but from what I've read of interviews and seen in comics, this is the case. They have a kind of experience that doesn't come from a solo mission, that comes from being told, "Hey , guy. I need you to draw specifically such and such a thing, by such and such a time, and then so and so is going to ink it. "
So that's why when these types of guys , these mercenaries of comics and animation, when they go rogue and do their own thing, its really cool to look at.
