Scott pilgrim

Scott pilgrim is like any dude trying to get over his ex girlfriend, by finding another girlfriend. However he runs Romona, she is some one is who is strange and stands out on her own and doesn’t apologize for it. Dating her would be a breeze but her 7 evil ex’s out are out kick Scott’s ass and he has to prepare to fight or risk losing his new found love. In this comic all characters share a band and it’s super relevant through the whole comic and shown as a weapon against the evil forces. This comic shows life lesson and how to level up in the world like a Mario game. The exaggerated colors And over all aesthic writing of this comic is so genuine and original, I remember first reading this in high school a little after my best friend started drying her hair all the time to be more like Ramona. I thought it was the coolest thing so of course I’d pick up a web series like this. The story centers around change and being able to move on and be better. Scott fights himself and his inner demons and makes better descisions that aren’t selfish covers for his insecurity but actual good for his friends and himself. Don’t we all wish we could learn life as easy as Scott. Just maybe not get blown into a million coins for it.

The History of Comics

We were given a much wider selection of work to look at then our previous ones. In these selections, you can see a clear switch from what comics were but you still view the foundations of story telling. The stories now contain more adult themes, such as violence and war. This reflects a lot of what was going on around the world in this era, and it's said that comics were starting to become very popular in the military and for adults. You can see a clear line drawn between Carl Barks' “Donald Duck” comics next to a “Batman” comic, then next to a “Tales from the Crypt” comic. Carl tries to keep a sweet spin on his slapstick humor, but contains more in depth stories, now. While Batman has a very deep narrative of a dark clothed man and side kick going on some fun and terrifying adventures. In the Batman comics we hardly see bloody violence with our superhero, but then we have “Tales from the Crypt” and it's just gore, violence, and torture of characters going through unrealis

Assessment- Superman

For this class you asked to write our reaction to the Superman comic “Whatever happened to the man of the future?” Along with what connects we made in the story. Reading what was going on without being much a Superman fan, my reaction was pretty overwhelmed. I was bombarded with evil villains I have hardly herd of or seen before this, all breaking the ever famous Superman comic code of never killing anyone ever. This must of been a lot for him having all this happen at once. However the story doesn’t add up in places and I’m sure that was on purpose do to Lois telling the story. In the end of the novel you see Lois kissing her husband with a weird mustache, talking about super man while their son, who literary looks exactly like baby super man, is turning coal into diamonds. It’s obvious to say that superman didnt kill himself but lives on as a normal father. Plus is gold kcyptonite even a thing? I always thought it was green, and why would he just own a room full of it in his secre

The Arrival  is a story of immigration in a dystopian world. This graphic novel is unusual and the most noticeable part of it is the fact it is entirely wordless and also realistic charcoal drawings.   The wordlessness is very consistent where even when things are written within the story itself they are not legible. The story starts off with a man leaving his family and home in search of work. As the panels show him leaving and pans out to show the surrealism of this world to convey the dark feelings for the challenge that lies ahead of the man. Giants live in this dystopia and represent the judgement and cruelty of the world and struggle to escape. The artist uses a monochrome color scheme of black tan and white which gives more atmosphere and mood to the hardships in this story. When arriving to the new world though he is quickly met with surprising new form of technology, social etiquette. The story shows us his struggles with these and how overcomes it tho
