Something I just noticed was the lack of verbal cues I usually associate with comic books. This did not have any Kapow's or Fzwash's. I actually almost feel let down, as I havent picked up a comic aside since some old Batmans and the original Thor comics. Is this perhaps an occurance that made comics a less than desirable literary format? Is this why these, the greatest thing to many children, are considered second class to Novels and poetry? I would say it yes, the leaving of the archaic ways of graphic novels past has seemed to be a sort of emancipation for them. Now that they are considered worthy of even an AP essay.
Was I let down? Yes. Is this a step in the right direction? Hell yes. For comics in general, being such a relatively new format they need to evolve to become something great, and in my opinion they are doing just that. Thoughts? Opinions? Wanna talk about shtuff? Get those posts!
