Blog Post #14: The Future of Comics

Blog Post #14 The future of comics             Reading a couple of webcomics such as Miman and How to be a werewolf which both deal with supernatural and fantastical things. These webcomics are interesting to me because Miman uses a single page to advance the story every week instead of producing an entire comic book each month or week that would go through a printing process. In webcomics, they are digitally drawn which is difficult but allows for a quicker turnout of the story compared to comics that have to go through a previous process. I think another thing that is really interesting is the possibility of comics that can be created but also that anybody has the ability to create a comic. There isn’t a printing process that the artist and writers have to go through in order to create the comics. The expanse universe of modern comics allow for adaptations into different forms such as Marvel comics into a cinematic universe and animation cartoons, or the ada

Literature Assessment

Victoria Provost Literature Assessment 1)     What is your reaction to the text you just read? Reading “Batman: The Killing Joke” by Alan Moore is a comic series I found typical of the DC/Batman universe because it is a dark environment and a dark story. The story clues into the origin story of the Joker and we get to see how he became the Joker to some degree. The story allows us to have some sympathy towards Joker who has lost his wife and was put in a situation he did not want to be a part of anymore but he had no other options. Joker still went with the men to the factory and ended up in a situation that made him the way he is. The text was not surprising to me but it did allow me to connect more with the Joker character as a man who had lost his wife and put into a bad situation that makes him a relatable character. 2)     What connections did you make with the story? Discuss the elements of the story with which you were able to connect Making

Blog Post #13: Reconsidering the Superhero

Victoria Provost Blog Post #13 Reconsidering the Superhero             Reading The Black Panther was different from what I would have excepted from the series of comics. In the comics about Black Panther he is king of Wakanda but he is hated by the people he rules over and there are plots to try and get rid of him as a leader. There are a lot of revolts against the king especially from the warriors who are supposed to protect him. As I was reading these comics I was very confused about the way the comics are set up because I don’t associate this type of story with Black Panther. I think I was confused because of the recent movie Black Panther that came out recently and the way they chose to interpret the story is interesting. The comics are very different compared to the movie because the people in the movie are not the main focus and appear happy about the world that they live in and do not fear the king but worship him. The people in the comics such as Anek
