Following on from Marc Bernadin asking why his Wildstorm series The Highwaymen wasn’t a success, Steven Grant spends a lot of his latest column at CBR pondering the same question:
Was THE HIGHWAYMEN bad work? No. All things considered, especially considering it’s the product of talent with little comics experience, it’s good enough. In 1993, good enough was more than good enough. In 2007, for most readers, in an unknown project good enough just isn’t good enough.
Much, much more in the link, including why it’s not good enough, and why that might not have mattered anyway. Well worth your time to check out.
