Tank Girl 2 & 3 (6)

    I'm so glad Tank Girl was on the Euro comic list, I always wanted to read because I love Jamie Hewlett's art but also I knew my cousin loved the comics. First off I love how wild and humorous Tank Girl is and I love how some of the colors in the comic were wild and almost psychedelic in some panels like it would be cool to see this in the original black and white but there is something about it being color really sets it for me. Like it really gives off the mood of something crazy and out there is going to happen in the comic and I enjoy that a lot, also really like blue shadows. I enjoy the other characters on the bottom panel who are pretty much reading along with you and reacting to what is happening in the story, I thought it is pretty funny the small blurp even though it did not happen all the time at the bottom of the page I just thought it is a cute little snip it. I love Tank Girl and her in your face attitude and I like how she is also funny along with her crude humor, also she is not afraid to get violent it's pretty refreshing to see in a female character. I like how experimental some of the panels can be and how there is some photographs or images act as the background. It very much has the underground comic of you can't censor me so I'm gonna put out what I want. Overall I really enjoyed reading Tank Girl and its wild shenanigans.

The Handmaid's Tale (6)

 I never read or watched The Handmaid's tale before but I have been interested in it, so I have to say the graphic novel adaption I liked the art and the traditional watercolor. I also like the color choices they would use in the story like I know the women have set color and outfits for their role in the story's society but how it is used in the comic very much sets the mood or even when they do completely black backgrounds to make the characters and scenes really pop and call to the attention to the reader is very interesting. I found the flow to be appealing too like some pages are not all panels some are more illustrative or out of frame, I found to be really enamored with those pages. Besides the aesthetic appeal of the art, I found the story to be very disturbing like the setting of it, in this dystopian society where women are subjugated in a patriarchal society and are forcibly assigned into roles like the handmaids which are assigned to commanders so they can produce c...

The Comic Book History of Comics (3)

 After reading The Comic Book History of Comics, first I will say it was a very interesting and informative read while being somewhat humorous. I also found a lot of the subjects they talked about fascinating like how comics evolved and the shifts in media. Although what I found to be particularly interesting to me was how comics were developed and viewed in different cultures. Like how in American comics were more dominated by a particular genre for certain eras; like how WWII brought about the age of superheroes while in Europe their comics were never really dominated by a certain genre but instead had a wide variety of different genres and franchises. It was interesting the respect American comic creators got from Europe while American's themselves held some contempt for them and the fact that Europe did not have harsh censorship compared to the comic code in America which gave them the freedom of a more adult audience and market. Along with that, it was really interesting and I...
