Reinventing Comics: The Evolution of an Art Form by Scott McCloud

3.0

A fine lecture in comic form. But I can't say I retained nearly as much as in the first book. In the second half is captured the moment of time as digital comics was taking off. So we get kind of a thin history of the Internet, which really I was already familiar with. As with the author's other books that I've read, this is a fantastic work of the media. But it was more the content I was after and this is somewhat lacking. That said, there was a lot in the first half so perhaps upon discussion, I'll have a somewhat different opinion. Much of what was in the first half has been said before - but it is likely that this book is the earliest I'd seen it in print.
