So Brian Germain are you made from steel or aluminum foil? Well
The7Deadly Questions
will find out
Do you believe comics are a good platform to talk about today’s social issues?
Absolutely comics are a great place to get young readers familiar with real world related topics. X-men has dealt with Racism, Civil War has dealt with rights to privacy, Iron Man has dealt with alcoholism, Green Arrow with drug abuse the list goes on and on. somne of the up and coming indy comics are right on par with current events.
DO you think it is unfair that women artists can draw what ever they want, but a man has to watch how he treats his female characters or fear being labeled something nasty??
I do think its unfair but I think a man as an artist should draw whatever he wants as well, art should be controversial.
What is the worst thing someone said about something you created that sent you into a rage and how did you handle it ?
I’ve had lots of people give me rough critiques I try to take them with a grain of salt but every once in awhile someone gives you a criticism which is different than a critique. Criticism really ticks me off sometimes I have been bad and retaliated by accusing them of being moronic but more often than not I try to step back and just let the haters hate. If you got haters it’s usually because your doing something right. I have blocked people on Facebook for it before though.
What character do you think is over valued by the masses?
I think Wolverine is a good example of this he pops up in every comic the only person who should be able to be in as many places as Logan seems to appear is Madrox the multiple man.
Where is your creative finish line? The point where you hit your goals and say I made it!!!
I don’t believe I have a finish line. If I did I have already made it to one of them and have several more in my future. just being able to make enough money to support my family on comics and art alone would be a good finish line. Other than that I’d say publishing 30 comics was a pretty good finish line for me Next I need to publish thirty more lol.
What is character or series you want to be part of in your lifetime?
I’d love to have anything to do with Spider-Man or Batman or Hulk or many of the main Marvel characters but Spidey tops the list for me.
What do you look for in a Partner in Creation???
Honesty, Integrity, someone who isn’t afraid to be creative someone who enjoys the making art process as much or more than the selling process.
