Just finished 'The fault in our stars' by John Green AND I FEEL SAD, DAMMIT.

[#Sideways#]

Working on "Last days of Krypton" (Not the town from Kentucky) and it sheds some light on the, well, last days of Krypton and I am loving every moment of it.

I am thinking about reading The Lord of the Rings next, but I am unsure.

Reading Making Comics by Scott McCloud.

Reading Making Comics by Scott McCloud.

How is that? Understanding Comics is a brilliant piece of seminal work in Comics Studies.
Does the sequel live up to it?

Never read Understanding Comics(But i want to,after hearing what everyone said about this book),so i can't make a comparision.
The book is very interresting with many informations of how to build a comic what kind of choices you can make.
The book covers the transitions of panel to panel(and the pages themselfs),narritive,making characters,building worlds,what kind of tools you can use,styles of comics and many others.
It very fascinating the way he see and displays his thoughs.
A very worth read.

Fun fact one of the chapters talking about online comics was made online!

I'll definitely have a look, could be seriously useful for my PhD. Thanks!


Just finished Fables vol. 4 and Alice in Sunderland, found in the library yesterday.

Transformers: Chaos arrived this morning, so that's my evening read sorted!

Really really should get back into the books I should be reading though...

A Criminal Investigation book. I miss reading some good fiction, though.

Fulgrim by Graham McNeill.

It's kinda strange. There's a lot about the Emperor's Children that I really like, but I've never been fussed on Fulgrim himself. Let's see if Mr. McNeill can change all that...

After seeing the excellent portrayal of Long John Silver by Eddie Izzard, I went back to R.L.Stevenson's Treasure Island.

Also picked up more comics from the library, and now have Batman: Knightfall and Batman vs Bane in preparation for the 20th!
