    Default What genre would you like to see more of from comics?

    With the rise of creator owned books, we are seeing a lot more diversity in your average local comic book store as far as what kind of genres you want to read. However, not every genre is represented equally and a lot of recent books seem to fall under science fiction, and almost all of them fall under speculative fiction. Are there certain genres that you think are underrepresented in the current market and could use some focus by comic creators?

    I don't know. I tend to think comics are built for action and science fiction just because the medium works well with motion and visually compelling concepts. Something like romance, for instance, I think works far better in prose.

    Unabashed creative imagination, not constrained by realism.

    Now, if we just had a comic about a monkey ballerina in space I think we would have something.
