Episode 90 - Robert Kirkman vs. Brian Michael Bendis: From Baltimore Comic-Con!

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 - running time 01:08:34

Robert Kirkman and Brian Michael Bendis meet face to face in Baltimore to debate creator-owned comics!

It all began when fan-favorite writer and new Image Comics partner Robert Kirkman posted a video manifesto calling on more established comic book creators to leave Marvel and DC Comics behind and make creator-owned comics. That lead to a pointed response from fan-favorite writer and Marvel Comics mainstay Brian Michael Bendis on the Word Balloon podcast.

And then the comic book internet world ripped in half.

On September 27, 2008 Robert Kirkman and Brian Michael Bendis met face-to-face on a dias at the Baltimore Comic-Con to bring the debate in person and in front of a standing room only crowd. They discussed everything from their own impoverished beginnings in creator-owned comics to the current sales of their own work to the effect that mainstream exposure has on independent work. It's the most talked about comic book panel of the year!

Who do you think won the debate?
