MARK WAID, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF BOOM! COMICS
well, i'm sure most of you have read/watched the comic characters such as The flash, Captain America and Superman on tv or read it from a comic book before.
The newer generations wouldnt be as interested about Captain America right? but the older ones will say that it was part of their childhood.
& yes they were part of my childhood too (eventhough most of my frens argued that i have no childhood and went straight to be an "ajumma"(aunty) after being born)
ohwell, so yeah.
Mark Waid, he used to write for DC comics and Marvel comics before being an editor of his own comics company-Boom!
& please, it is just unfortunate that he has to promote his company's name (Boom!) this month at the Singapore's writers festival right after the BOOMZ incident in singapore. yes, i'm talking about Ris Low. but let's forget about her okay?
So he came down to Singapore polytechnic to give a talk to the students about his works. it was kinda nice. personally, i cant really hear him at first. perhaps, it's because i'm sitting way at the back? i'm not sure. i have to get used to his way of talking too before understanding the whole conversation :D
Generally, his talks were kind of amazing. after a while, i gathered that Mark Waid is indeed a very frank and friendly person. he has this aura? that makes the crowd feel at ease? do i make sense? lol.
after sitting in for that almost 2hrs talk, i've learnt 2 new things.
1. Comics has it's own language. you cant incoporate a tv/movies angles into a comics strip. it wont work. the things that might be good for comics would not be as good for the tv/movies and vice versa.
2. a story is : "SOMEONE WANTS SOMETHING. BUT SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY." yup. a direct quote from Mark Waid himself :D
& of course after that, we took pictures with him!
going to a polytechnic is really awesome because you get to meet a lot of people! and visit nice places :D
I LOVE SP DMC :D
