Over on his blog, writer (and Black Lightning co-creator – And, DC? There’s a character who could be easily revived for a new series if and when you need one) Tony Isabella shares his 1996 “manifesto for comics”: a list of 10 demands – or, requests, perhaps – for the comic industry in order to get its house in order. Looking at it now, 15 years later, it’s depressing to see how many of these still seem necessary. There’s only one I don’t think we still need – the “Commissioner of Comics” mentioned in the final demand – and that’s only because I don’t agree with it in general. Have we really progressed that little in the last decade and a half?
