Week 11

This week I read Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli. I loved this comic because it broke so many "rules" or traditions that early comics had established. I thought the themes and subject was very complex and engaging. The art style was also very unique and suiting - very "futuristic." I thought the sophistication in the work definitely worked as a perfect example of comics as contemporary literature. I think this extreme contrast from super hero comics should be popularized for modern audiences so they can expand their views on the art form.
