The Four Color Media Monitor

Popverse announced that James Tynion, the would-be writer who perpetuated the disrespect of Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott, isn't interested in doing more superhero writing, and now turns his attention to more creator-owned books:

Good news for fans who are excited to read more of James Tynion IV’s creator-owned comics: the writer and co-creator of titles like Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake, and W0rldtr33 is promising more information on the return of those titles very soon. For fans of Tynion’s work on series like Batman, Justice League Dark, and Detective Comics, however, have slightly less good news awaiting them.

Writing on social media, the founder of Tiny Onion shared, “If you're asking about when a creator owned book is coming back, you're probably going to find out very soon. If you're asking about when I am going to write another superhero book, that is not something I'm interested in right now! Sorry!”

Tynion has never made any secret about the fact that his heart belongs more to horror and creator-owned comics than superheroes, a fact that arguably helped him find such success with the latter. (Tynion being driven by something other than nostalgia allowed him to introduce characters like Ghost-maker, Peacekeeper-01, and Clownhunter, bringing a much-needed burst of new energy into the Batman mythos, for example.) Now that he has a new company to lead — one that involves him making a “big aggressive move in the comic book direct market next year,” to boot, in his own words — it only stands to reason that he’s going to be concentrating on a narrower focus for the next few months.

It's not hard to guess, based on some of the examples given, that the man has a huge obsession with all that's dark, and that's a problem. But did that "success" translate into whopping big sales on superhero fare? Most likely not. Yet the reason Tynion had success getting into DC to do serious damage to their superhero fare is because the far-left ideologues now running the show clearly approved of his leanings.

No doubt, Tynion's just one of a considerable sum of writers and artists in comicdom today whose biggest drawback is their fixation on horror themes, all translating into a "narrower" focus. Making matters worse is all the woke press sources who're lavishing attention upon such scribes, while otherwise ignoring those who could have more optimistic views, not to mention humorous visions. That's why superhero comics have been brought down so badly. I have no wish to read any of Tynion's output from any publisher, and he's no loss to the mainstream. But he is sadly a prime reason why superhero comics have been so badly desecrated.
