Si te interesan los cómics, es una lectura obligada. No solo es un gran repaso a la estructura detrás de la creación de los tebeos (ese Art & Business), sino también un vistazo sensacional a uno de los mejores autores de la industria. Incluye ejemplos de todo tipo, entrevistas con otros guionistas y dibujantes y hasta ejercicios prácticos si te quieres lanzar a escribir tus propios comics. Una delicia.

Motivational and eye-opening for those of us who want to do something in field of comic books. It's not always bed of Roses. But definitely a field worth trying if your guts say so and if you have what it takes.

Bill Ricardi:
The technique of getting the opinions of dozens of experts from the comic industry was brilliant. It allowed you to see a cross section, from indy to Marvel and everything in between. It properly sets the expectations of a write working with comic artists and producers.
Some of the text is a bit dated. The use of Marvel Style scripting has mostly fallen out of favor. And the chances of unsolicited material reaching any of the big comic companies is exactly zero. They don't create teams of unknowns now, they expect you to have a team. Which usually means crowd funding, etc. Then they skim successful and prove indy teams and scoop up the cream of the crop.
But no matter who you're working with, this will help you to write FOR the artists, for the entire team. And that's how you start.

Je ne m'attendais pas à un aussi beau livre. Je suis ravi :D. Etant un comic book artiste professionnel, j'avais besoin d'un ouvrage comme celui là et je suis absolument... ravi. Oui, c'est le mot.

I am not generally a fan of Bendis' work. I get why other folks are, it just doesn't work for me. I'm not saying this up front because I want to start some flamewar over the quality of Bendis' writing but so you'll know that someone who is emphatically NOT a Bendis fanboy is giving this book a five-star review. Also, I bought and read the Kindle version and will talk about that below, just in case that's relevant to your purchasing decision.
I'm going to assume that if you are thinking about getting this book it's because you want to become a writer of comic books, so I'm going to review it from that perspective. And from that perspective one of the things that's great about the book is what Bendis *doesn't* include. He doesn't include a lot of basic "what is a story?" stuff, nor does he spend a lot of time beating the drum for super detailed outlining or going over the basics of three-act story structure. I am grateful for this because it seems like every other general book on writing fiction these days does. If you want or need that stuff for comics in particular, you should definitely get Dennis O'Neil's _The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics_ or Peter...

This book is a fantastic snapshot of the comic book industry at the moment. Brian Michael Bendis takes us through the entire process of creating comics, detailing various methods and motivations going on behind the scenes, and also goes into the actual business end of being a comics professional. What I find most interesting here are the anecdotes and input given to him by others from within the industry. Bendis has collected a plethora of knowledge and examples from his own work and that of others to give a clear picture of what goes into creating comics, and moreover, encourages the reader to work, experiment, and find their own way. My favorite chapter has to be the Writing for Artists chapter, where Bendis has compiled feedback from some of the best artists in the business regarding the collaborative experience of comics, what they feel their role in the process is, and what they do and don't want in their scripts. The book has great spotlight pieces with known professionals in the field from all sorts of positions, from other writers to Marvel's notorious talent scout C.B Cebluski. The book is jam-packed with great art from a wide range of artists and even...
