Richard and Comics... well not together...

Richards presentation on comics was very interesting considering that I have never been much of a comic reader... I prefer violent video games myself. I just think it's funny that there are so many people out there who are willing to bend over backwards in order to put down something that other people care so much about. Comic books are a crucial medium when you think about simply the ways people absorb information. Visual learners are running amuck in the United States with less knowledge than they would have if not for Mr. Kill Joy Comic Book Critic. There are some really interesting comic novels out there right now... the Road to Perdition being one of them. There is also another really good one who's name escapes me right now, but the cover is light blue and white... anyone? I plan on reading this novel very soon (as soon as I recall the name of it). There was also a comic done of T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland which I highly recommend since people spend their entire lives trying to figure out that poem. On the presentation alone, I think Richard did a great job of giving us interesting and relevant information! Way to go!
