IDW needs to fire Scott Ciencin

Post by disappeared »

This is another comic book rant, but frankly I'm getting fed up with this guy's ability to "write."

I've been a supporter of IDW's efforts to bring Silent Hill into the published print world since the beginning (Dying Inside), and now it seems I'm just doing it to make myself suffer. I hardly have to turn on my brain to read these stories anymore.

Ciencin does nothing but introduce vague storylines about the characters (who are in turn bland) and lets loose a barrage of f-words and s-words to the extent of where it averages out two to three per page. It leaves you wondering if you're reading a Silent Hill comic book. The characters in the games never swore (save for Eddy and Heather), so why turn a 180 and make the comics' characters so vulgar?

The most recent crime here is Dead/Alive. I was hoping maybe for a new page to be turned, but it's the same content as Dying Inside, Grinning Man, and Among the Damned. Paint it Black was alright, if only because it didn't try to complicate itself too much.

Anyways, that's my rant. Please, IDW, get someone else to start writing these things.

Hello!

Wait I'm a painter, never mind.
...that all my life I've been rushing up and down hills, leaping rivers, crashing over obstacles,
never dreaming that one day that beautiful thing in flight would land on this earth and into my arms

It'd make a nifty book, though, Littlestardweller. You and Tommy could work on it; artsy and interesting.

I disagree about the swearing. If I was in Silent Hill and I saw some werid creature I think I would let some profanity slip my mouth.

Even though I liked Silent Hill Dying Inside I would like to see someone else try to do better. Which comic book authors/ artist would you like to see give it a shot ?

I've never read the comics, and I don't think I ever will. For me to read a comic it has to be really good, and these sound, well, really shit.

Don't waste your time or money on these "comics." They really are complete shit, and this Scott guy needs to get over his use of the word "fuck" which he uses almost every other word.

People like that use those words when they are terrible writers because they can't get your attention with the story, so they use expletives to try and "stand out."

That guy really is a douchebag. He needs to team up with Uwe Boll since they have so much in common.
