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

4.0

The only reason this didn't get the 5 stars of its predecessor is that it dates itself - consciously so, but the effect is the same. It specifically talks about comics in the here and now - of the year 2000. It talks about the way computers have begun to influence comics - but at only 8 years old, much of it is already outdated, from predictions (come true or otherwise) to referencing the current state of computers and comics, both of which have changed rather dramatically in the interim. Still an excellent read, and has more yet- and ever-true issues it deals with.
