As I mentioned yesterday, I’m really happy about Alan David Doane’s new series of five-question interviews–and clearly I’m not the only one. When I lamented the lack of high-quality interviews a while back, this was the type of antidote I had in mind.
But one person wasn’t so thrilled with yesterday’s interview with Journalista weblogger Dirk Deppey: comics blogosphere godfather NeilAlien. Neil feels–and rightly so, I think–that Dirk woefully mischaracterized the ‘Alien’s opinion on superhero hegemony in the Direct Market. Here’s his response, laying out his case to the contrary. In fairness to Dirk, I don’t think he was “maliciously mischaracterizing” Neil, but he did get Neil’s opinion wrong by almost 180 degrees.
