The meek was pretty interesting story, the first page that popped up was random but it gets you interested right away. However, my favorite thing about this comic has to be the art. The style is awesome and the characters are very well designed. One of my favorite web comics, however, is a parody series of the pokemon games called super effective. They're really short but they are always funny.

All star superman takes a really interesting look at the character. I actually saw the animated movie on the comic and I have to say it was one of the greatest adaptations of clark kent I have ever seen. Most versions of clark kent have been really obvious and involved a somewhat different hairstyle and glasses. Even if it is just a comic book the logic behind superman's secret identity has always been a bit ridiculous. However, the clark kent that was shown in all star superman (more so in the animated version) could actually be another person. He doesn't just have different hair and glasses but the way he acts, the way he holds himself, even his posture and the way he walks is different. He doesn't just wear a disguise he becomes a different person. It was a really well thought out and welcome change.

Anya's ghost is a really clever concept and despite it's supernatural premise manages to have a somewhat relatable story and character. It's about a girl who doesn't quite fit in who finds what most of us want, a friend or someone who can magically show up to give us all the answers. but sometimes the easiest solutions don't always do the most good. I also really love the art style in this book is awesome. Its cartoony, funny, stylized, and at times maybe even a little dark.

So i took a look at Alice in sunderland. Not gonna lie it was all kinds of weird. And I thought the original was creepy. There is no real story and it is just a bunch of random bits that tell the reader a little bit about sunderland. The only thing I can say I really like about it is the art isn't that bad. Still not exactly my cup of tea but not the worst style i have seen.

Scott Pilgrim Vs the world is literally one of my favorite movies of all time. And the manga was just as good. In fact after reading the manga there were a few things i wish the movie did a little differently. For one I don't think they got the right actor to play scott. Don't get me wrong Michael did a great job and plays the role just fine but i feel as though there could have been better choices. The movie was able to capture the manga's feel and theme so well it is almost too perfect. From the sound effects to the pop culture references. They didn't try to make it realistic or that relatable they made exactly how they should have random and illogical as all hell! I would love to get my hands on the other copies of the manga so i can do more comparisons.

I can't say that I rather enjoy the art style of Persepolis but it definitely fits with the story. The style itself is really childish and plain but then again it is a story being told by a child so the simple shapes fit really well in this aspect. I find that this topic in particular (women in the middle east) is something that I do not think I will ever understand. I know that other cultures are allowed to have different beliefs but the way they make women hide has always been confusing to me. Women are treated so poorly and are forced to hide themselves at all times. Having clothes to cover your naked body is one thing but only being able to see someone's eyes how is that a form of respect. Women are the reason we have life. they give birth, if anything they are most likely the most important part of life itself.

Stuck Rubber Baby deals with both racism and homosexuality. Although it was published in the mid 90's subjects such as homosexuality were still not entirely accepted. Even today certain books are being banned because they discuss homosexual issues. So to see a graphic novel tackle this is a powerful thing and I applaud Cruse for giving it to us. However, being an artist I feel as though I have to talk about the art used for the book...It wasn't very good or at least in my personal opinion, pleasing to look at. The characters were poorly drawn with proportions and faces that looked warped as well as and overuse of dots to show shading. The women characters and men characters seemed to blend together to the point where everyone just looks like men in drag. I know to most people it is the story that is important but when you are reading a graphic novel the pictures are just as important and if your readers feel as though the art is disturbing they are less likely to keep reading regardless of how good the story may be.
