Assembled Extra: Congratulations To The Writer David Brothers On The Conclusion Of 4thletter!

The writer and now Image Comics staffer David Brothers has ended his self-directed team writing blog 4thletter! as of this note here. It is just short of ten years old. That was a very interesting blog to watch and read, and was in my primary on-line reading list from the early days of this site onward.

There was a lot of fun to be had there. You could see the writer's development, post to post and year to year, the great gift of on-line writing to audiences. You could take note of a context both contributor-wise and content-wise in which he and the other writers seemed to feel comfortable and valued (much of Brothers' final post is a love note to his colleague Gavin Jasper). You could also generally enjoy the various points of view expressed by Brothers and their rigorous defense via comments, whether or not you always agreed. David Brothers is of a different generation than mine; our backgrounds and value systems are distinctly our own, and our tastes clash, so I found his regularly articulated take on comics and comics-related things super-valuable. I'll miss reading the site, am honored that I was mentioned in that final post, and as always look forward to what he does next.
