Reinventing Comics: The Evolution of an Art Form by Scott McCloud
5.0
Absolutely one of my favorite books. I have read Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, and Making Comics multiple times each. Together, they have given me so much understanding regarding storytelling, perception of art, and comics as a medium.
For this book specifically: this is a wonderful followup to the first book. It stands alone as its own exploration, however. It is equal parts "wow the Internet and computers are really changing the comics form" and "wow for all that the Internet and computers do, comics are still the same at their base level." I really appreciate that nod to both sides of the conversation.
Read all three. Then again, I'm a massive glutton for this kind of passionate knowledge dispensing and find it endlessly enjoyable.
