Comics and the like

February 4, 2009 · Posted in Rambles 

Won’t be a long post, but it’s been far too long not to update.

Been reading a lot of good comics here of late, I’m not going to list them or go into them right now, if you’re interested I’ll let you know.

The important part is that the writing on a good comic is something different than the writing on a good article or short story. Arranging the panels and using dialogue to accent the visual. It’s something that I’ve been interested in for the past few years. I didn’t really read comics as a kid, didn’t start until I was out of college really I think.

Anyway, that’s today’s thought. And the question is, what makes a good story for you?

    What makes a good story? Hmmmm, let me think. For me, a good story brings me into another world. It´s like I am not lying on my bed or on my couch anymore. I can feel the situation and the ambience (is it the right word? :) where the story pulled me into.

    For Comics, I also like good drawings from artists, who were able to put the emotiones right into the the characters.
