Exploring The Post-Post-Modern Superhero With Daniel P. Riley & Nicky P
#ironage #indiecomics #writingcommunity
In contemplating the trajectory of comic book superheroes over the past four decades, one cannot overlook the profound shifts in narrative and characterization that have unfolded. Daniel digs into how he constructed the characters in the world of Legacy Of Heroes. He uses the story of a young man affected by a single event of trauma where he was saved by the superhero Paragon. Daniel cites the plights Superman went through as the inspiration for so much of the adversity the character faced.
Nick asks Daniel how he deals with the elements of realism when it comes to their costumes. Citing the example of Amy in the book Daniel mentions how he addressed a female character feeling embarrassed by the form fitting costumes that were customary of a female super hero. Ultimately she chose a full jacket over her outfit which called to mind characters like Rogue of the X Men. Nick asks if this undermines the essence of superheros being perfect physical specimens to accentuate goodness. Like the Greek gods before them beauty is a way of showcasing these being are good at living in the natural order.
