Comic books

So i read all of the comics about comics. ive always known what comics are and what they consist of, but i never really sat down and broke down what a comic really was and what went into making them. the comics by mcloud actually kept me interested in reading more. they seemed comical in a way, and kept my attention. i think this was to show what comics in general had to offer as opposed to other types of media such as literature and movies. literature isnt usually as aesthetically pleasing as comics, and movies leave alot less to the intellect and imagination. after reading these writings im kinda excited to start working on our graphic novels in class...and watch movies.
