@matthunte @MiriMarkow Not a bad list (only disagreement is the comic books-- for some reason Delany has middlebrow taste in those).

@HeerJeet@matthunte@MiriMarkow Attacking a science fiction writer for his taste in comics seems to miss the virtue of genre.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@JeffSharlet@matthunte@MiriMarkow No, but the fiction Delany likes is all high-modernist & challenging. Comics, not so much so.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet@matthunte@MiriMarkow Made me wonder what I'd missed in From Hell. In general I think Alan Moore is very overrated.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet@matthunte@MiriMarkow Probably true. But what does it mean to be a demanding reader of comics? Not same as fiction & poetry.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet@matthunte@MiriMarkow Right -- but I think formalist comics are pale copies. Whereas many pulp comics are their own creature.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet@matthunte@MiriMarkow Sure -- but "doing what can't be done in other mediums" is a secondary concern.3 replies 1 retweet 0 likes
@JeffSharlet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Disagree. Like Clement Greenberg I think such formalist investigation is the heart of any medium
