I’m all for accessibility in how things are printed. Easier to read fonts, text size options, all good.
But any attempt to standardize writing *style* is anti-creative. Creative writing isn’t about how quickly you absorb it or how easy it is. If it were, Dickens and Faulkner would be banned.
As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?
This is exactly how books are written... when you're writing for CHILDREN. Some people need to grow the fuck up.
I've wanted to see Bengal on a Catwoman book since he posted some sketches of her on the old Conceptart boards. It took ~20 years, but it finally happened!
Jeez, over 20 years, because I remember commenting, after the disastrous Pitof-directed 2004 Catwoman movie, that they hired the wrong Frenchman!

Bob Dylan killed poetry and Alan Ginsberg knew it.
