Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud

I loved this. I never really read comics growing up, a Batman and a Spawn here and there and I got into the Simpsons for a while but I never truly read them or understood them fully. I recently got the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics from a friend and I have not been able to put them down. I really enjoyed the style, the simplistic characters with the rendered backgrounds. the characters did sometimes look fully rendered as well but it really brought me into the story. McCloud talks about the relation we have with comic book characters, the more simplistic the character the easier it is to relate to them and put yourself in their situation. I really enjoyed how he explained everything throught the use of a comic book. it took a little while to get used to this layout but eventually i got into a good flow and flew through it.
