I have never had much of a background with comic books. I
have seen the movie adopted from the comics and seen numerous people read them. However, I have only read about one Batman comic… and you could hardly
even say I’ve read it. More like skimmed through it and when it didn’t interest
me put back on the self and went to the young adult novels.
This course has
been the first real exposure I’ve had to the art of comics and I have really
enjoyed it. I would never have picked up a comic myself and read it; however,
now from reading McCloud’s Understanding
Comics and Losh, Alexander, Cannon, and Cannon's Understanding Rhetoric, I
have a new-found respect for this type of medium. I feel that, although
they are unappreciated, comics would be a great way to get kids to love
reading. They provide pictures as not to scare kids with; seven-hundred pages
of straight words per say, but still have exceptional language that will
increase a kid’s vocabulary. I plan to incorporate comics into my reading every now and again for a enjoyable and entertaining read!
