Carl Barks 2 points

 


 I have never read the Ducktales comics, but I was finally excited to read these famous works. All of these characters are timeless and iconic. I wanted to read these stories as I had never met these characters before to see what it was like when they were first introduced. I really enjoyed Carl Barks's storytelling. With his storytelling, you get to know the characters' personalities quite well and their relationships with each other in just a couple of panels. You learn their goals, their enemies, and their families. The relationships feel natural like they have been there for years and the characters bounce off each other very well, and the conversation feels very natural and fun. The story throughout the comic links all the way from the beginning to the end. It's continuous, unlike the others I have seen where they break up into other stories. I like how the adventure continues to escalate and has an ending. I enjoyed the problem-solving scenarios that the characters had to go through in each story. It makes it feel like a whole tv episode. There is a sense of excitement with these iconic characters. The stories have the idea of high adventure but are not too dangerous; it keeps the reader invested in what they are trying to find and how they will find it. It is also cool to see the world-building in this world of Donald duck. They go all around the world and meet so many new and remarkable characters.

The Killing Joke (2 points )

 1. What is your reaction to the text you just read? I have never read the killing joke before, but I knew it is a classic comic book that many suggest reading. When reading the Killing Joke, I was very intrigued, but I honestly wanted more to conclude the story. Not that the ending was not good, but I wanted to continue reading the story. I love the imagery and how each transition Panels from past to present work very well for the storytelling.  I could learn a lot from the drawings and story choices. 2. What connections did you make with the story? Discuss what elements of the story with which you were able to connect? The transition in pannels from the past to the present was what helped guide the story, in my opinion. Even though every image goes pannel by the panel, the artist connects what is happening using the same body poses between panels in different scenes to show the passage of time or flashbacks.   I felt like a camera in a movie or Storyboards. Same as a tr...

Manga week (9 points)

    (5 points) I read buddha 2 the four encounters by OSAMU TEZUKA. The art style was very kid-like and reminded me of manga-inspired rubber hose Disney cartoons. Like Astro boy comics. I was surprised to find how adult the topics were for this story. It was a very political story and very surrounded by the philosophy of death. However, the philosophy and the world-building in the story is what kept me invested. I enjoyed each character, as well. For a short story, each character was quite understandable in motive and personality. The protagonist was a young prince at the age of 15, and he feels his purpose in life is to leave the palace and become a Buddha. A very slow-paced story, but it still kept me interested in what the main character would do next when fighting against his royal responsibilities and fighting for what he believes in. Throughout the second book, it focuses on the prince learning about death through the animals and people around him, realizing that strengt...

week 11 comics as contemporary literature Fun home and My favorite thing is Monsters : ( 12 points )

Read Fun home : ( 6 points )  I finally read Fun Home for the first time. The story reminds me of Maus, but the story is being told by the daughter as posed to the father telling his own story. So we do not know which is exaggerated in second-hand memories.  The descriptions the narrator uses to describe their relationship with their childhood home and family is fascinating. They use many greek myths and stories to describe their relationship with their father, and they describe their home as the labyrinth with how large it is, and their father as the monitor, as children scared to turn the corner of the house, they may run into him.  This perfectionist looks the dad has, focusing on the smallest things. He is almost robotic and hyper-fixated on the house, for it was the only thing he felt he could control. I found the father projecting an image on the house, trying to cover up anything inside and outside the house, interesting. He has a blurry line between reality and fi...
