I’m in love with the works of Stjepan Sejic, an incredibly amazing talent who created a mind-blowing story, Death Vigil. Actually, you’ve probably seen his work everywhere including Angelus, Witchblade, Switch, Rat Queens, Sunstone, and so much more. In my mind, this Croatian master of character, story, and graphic majesty is among the best of the best in the comic world and should be celebrated with the top tier of comic creators.
So when I heard that his masterpiece about the world of death might not fly, I was devastated. Seriously, way too many big publishers continue to short-change their loyal readers in every writing industry and make it impossible for new talent to find their fanbase. Actually, I should say that I was a pissed that the status quo continues to win these creative “wars” by only pushing names that generate the almight $$. These industries completely miss the point of creation, which is not about profits…no matter what those at the top claim.
Well, today, I saw some amazing news that helped to bolster up a pretty crappy day considering the big loss in the music world. But when one force of magic disappears, another appears to take its place. And prove to us that the creative world is always teeming with genius, imagination and even more magic.
Behold the amazing news:
I can’t face the weekend on such a sad note of Scott’s loss, after all of the sucky news that dominates our world of late. So, we’re going in with some awesome news for once! Go for it, Stjepan! Your fans are so ecstatic that you’ve heard us. And I’ll be one of them in line for the next arc! Finally, a creator wins!
DEATH VIGIL IS AMAZING!!!!
Support creators everywhere so that they can raise a one-finger salute to bean counters everywhere! Our world needs creativity to prosper in the face of boredom. Boredom didn’t get us into outer space. Imagination did!
