I have to admit that I’m a little wearier than usual of comics publishers’ tendency to overstate their accomplishments and innovations to a degree that any actual novelty or merit gets crushed under the self-serving hype.
So I’m quite delighted with ICv2’s recent interviews with Mark Siegel, editorial of First Second. In spite of a year of genuinely noteworthy commercial and artistic achievements, Siegel comes off as level-headed and creative, appreciative of the successes First Second has enjoyed so far, and focused on what’s still to be done.
Spooky.
