Pretty Deadly

I actually had an interest in reading this comic when I was first known about it around 2016. I really love this art style. its brush strokes and storytelling panels are so nice to look at. theres so much details in each panels and the styling suits the old west setting it takes place in. also I just want to point out how organic the female prostitute is drawn. shes shown with some extra weight around her waist and stomach. but still a sensual character she isn't drawn to be gross or ugly as a lot of artists make heavier women depicted to be in their art styles, infact she has sex with a male character and its drawn in an erotic manner.

Ava's Demon

http://www.avasdemon.com/ for my chosen webcomic I want to attention which I think doesn't get enough love, Ava's demon. I first started read this series when it was newly made, but went on hiatus due to the web comic's site having problem with its code I think. Ava's demon is created by Michelle Czajkowski. Michelle Czajkowski formerly worked for Dreamworks and interned for Pixar for animation purposes.Michelle left to make Ava's demon a science fiction web comic with a mix of demonology. the format Michelle chose to make Ava's demon is like painted storyboards, each page is basically a whole image digitally painted over. during the series there are sequences of animation for each chapter the story about Ava Ire who is a miserable character who forms a demon pact to kill the space tyrant Titan who conquered the world of Wrathia ( the demon queen who makes a pact with Ava). Ava in return will receive a new life where people care for her. but she has to kill

Hellboy

I know hellboy from the movies that are being streamed on netflix. I only watched one movie though, but it was enjoyable. The comic has its own shenanigans, one involving the brain of Adolf Hitler being put on an ape and having the ability to use physic manipulation to attack Hellboy, who had previously killed Hitler in World War II after Hitler tried to fake a suicide. Hilarity ensures for the audience as Hellboy and the Officer Dragon who join forces to fight the first some vampires, a Giant mummy, a lochness monster; and my favorite un-dead pirates who came from a nearby lake. Even Hellboy asks "what kind of pirates are these?".Eventually even hellboy and dragon are made to fight each other with Dragon having the upper hand. Then Ape-hitler arrives on a bike to see Hellboy be killed himself but is outmatched by hellboy and Dragon. So Hitler's brain literally tries to escapee and I mean LITERALLY. The brain jumps off of the ape carcass and makes a run for it only to be

The Fountain

The fountain is a comicbook that ties to the movie of the same name.the premise is interesting but its written in a very confusing manner with a an art style that doesnt help the story very much. from the synosypisi on the front pages its a about a man who tries to save the woman he loves through different generations and timelines and i thought it would a compelling story to follow which is why i chose it. but then it took a weird turn. its actually about one celestial being in space with a tree traveling through what i assume is space trying to save the tree. apparently the tree is dying and the man is trying to save through the dreams the man gets through meditating with the tree. then one day the tree does die or is dead, and he cant accept it so he does out of his safe space around the tree to grab a comet that will save this celestial tree from dying but in doing so, he is unable to return to the sphere with the tree and becomes lost.  then it goes to a story about a medic tryi

Ranma 1/2

I read Ranma 1/2 for the week of Japanese comics in our class. I chose this book for the nostalgia I had for it. I read this book at around 12 which probably isn't appropriate to read at that age considering the nudity. But regardless of that i really enjoyed the concept of the series and brought me into reading comics, and for a while i only read manga because it was easier to follow Japanese comics as you only have to keep up with one title rather than research online to find what next issue I have to read to continue a story arc I was invested in. I think for this reason that manga and anime have gained more popularity in the West. Ranma 1/2 incorporates a lot of  Japanese culture and references to mythology. Which got me invested in Japanese as a whole because i had to research a lot of the concepts presented in the manga. The characters are also really entertaining but with little character development. the drawings are really well done and though Rumiko Takahashi has a very

"Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?"

1. what is your reaction to the text you just read? I thought the story was pretty good until the ending, I think it showed a sinister side to all of the villains of superman who up until this comic event were pretty harmless. I was kind of shocked that bizarro had committed genocide i don't know if he had killed until this point. but the fact that it was Mxypltz behind the rouse i felt a little let down by that reveal as its not a very recurring character in today's comic villains as he isn't dark enough for writers to use in the new52. 2. I already knew that Lex Luthor would be taken over by brainiac, in a lot of series lex gets taken over by brainiac. also superman killing has reused over and over again, in the face of crisis especially in todays comics. 3. one change i would make is not have Mxypltz as the mastermind or puppet master behind everything I think he's not a very threatening villain because he looks like a leprechaun, and not a threatening charac

March

John Lewis' comic on march is really inspirational. it starts on the day of the inauguration of Barack Obama. Two kids visit him in office to hear his story of how much of a journey he went through to get equal rights. John Lewis starts with talking about his chickens and how much he cared for them to go to school, even going against his family's wishes to have him help with the farm.he then tells the kids about the struggle of being black in a segregated country, having to travel up through the south without stopping in fear for their safety. while this is a good introduction to the events that lead to the march up in Washington the story doesn't really gain traction until we reach the sit ins at white only restaurants. I knew about how white patrons would beat up the protesters but what i didn't know was how long they would sit sometimes even passed the closing the very restaurant and the employees leaving. some of the owners even went out of their the lengths some of
