Understanding Comics: Part II

Thank you, Scott McCloud. Thank you for explaining so beautifully what I've been trying to tell my parents for years - comics are an artform! And a wonderful, limitless, complex one at that. As cliche as this may sound, McCloud really changed the way I read and understand comics. Understanding Comics had my brain working harder than it has in awhile (honestly). I learned so much about comics, and art in general while reading this book.

One of the concepts I found most interesting was that of the balance between pictures and words, and the different moods and emotions that can be evoked by something as seemingly simple as a line.
