Let’s talk about Marvel and DC characters a little. Depending on your age and when you started reading comics, you no doubt have that time period wired into your brain and it makes a difference as to how you see the characters. Example: If you started reading Batman in the early 1960’s, then a part of you will always think of him with the Batcave, the giant penny, fighting bad guys like Gorilla Boss, and never having a story go more than one issue. A far cry from the Batman of the 1980’s when the “grim and gritty” trend began for him.
Neither is right or wrong, it’s just a matter of when you came to the party.
A number of people may know Jim McCann as a voice on podcasts talking about Marvel comics. Others may know him from the many conventions he works at for Marvel. You may not realize that he is a fine writer as well, but that’s sure to change once you read New Avengers: The Reunion. Westfield’s Roger Ash recently spoke to McCann about this new mini-series.
