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

4.0

An interesting read, as always with Scott McCloud's work, especially the latter half where he talks about the digital future of comics. Some of the ideas he described have come to pass in the 20 years since Reinventing Comics was written - bandwidth is so cheap that audio and video streaming are as normal as websites in frames were in 2000, and the infinite page is alive and well in Webtoons - but the rise of the independent creator was not as great as he imagined, though Patreon and sites like itch.io are helping there, and the wild west freedom of the Web of 2000 has been eaten by corporations, aggregate sites and social media.
