I was asked by someone how my last "Who would be in your UK created super team?" went. I had to check as I have posted the same thing....seven times over the last few years. Checking and doing a rough count of responses I came up with...
None. My mistake was not realising that most CBO views are from outside the UK. Mind you, twice I have posed the same question for Germany and France. Same lack of response. Hmm. Here is a new one:
Who would feature in your dream Belgian super team of heroes?
I'll leave it a week and then ask the same about the Netherlands. If I was a betting man I would bet on zero responses!
I think the answer might be in the premise. American comic books like cross overs and team ups because they might boost sales and increase readership..... But English and most European characters and stories exist in their own unique worlds.For example Tintinand and Asterix can never coexist. Even teams are self contained. I once saw a Dr Who and Sherlock Holmes short ... same director... Very uncomfortable. Anyway. TTFN.
ReplyDeleteYeah, problem is I probably know more about these characters than most -you know, the ones who are "experts" and know all the (incorrect) facts about characters. When I'm gone they will all vanish again!
