Web Comics

Next week is a huge week for superhero and comic book fans. The film "Spider Man Into the Spider Verse” will be releasing on December 14th. Due to the fact that Miles Morales is the star of the film I decided to read the web comic "Miles Morales the Ultimate Spiderman”. We all know Spiderman, but not a lot of people know about Miles Morales. Similar to Peter Parker, Miles grew up in New York City. Miles is half black half latino and his suit is black with a red spider symbol. I love everything about this character and his comic. Its fascinating to see an all new take on Spiderman while keeping the charm of the previous one. Reading it online was enjoyable as I was able to click through the pages and read issue by issue. Web comics might be the future of comic books, however, hardback copies are still a treasure and worth obtaining. The film debuting next week about the Miles Morales Spiderman is huge and will be revolutionary. The film takes huge inspirations from comic books and will play out like a comic come to life. The style of the movie is in 3D and will have all the fun quirks of a comic book such as the viewable sounds like “boom” and the thought and speech boxes. The future of comic books is a bright one not only because of how well comics are still being made and the success of the ones in the past, but because of the fans and the readers who continue to spread the fascination of comics and converse about them with friends like they are actual real life stories and events. That is the true power of comics.

Ms.Marvel: Woman in comics

Very rarely do we see new superheroes take the spotlight. However in this weeks reading, Ms. Marvel stood out. She fits the bill when it comes to a well made superhero. The amazing fact about Ms. Marvel is that she not only appeals to women but to the younger audience, and ethnic readers. The protagonist Ms. Marvel also knows Kamala Khan is a young Arabic girl who has the ability to shapeshifter. It was real fun to see her powers take place in the comic but it was also interesting to see her family and household dynamic. Overall I really enjoyed reading this weeks comic and I feel like Ms. Marvel is a great addition to the superhero community and can be a bridge for many more great female superheroes to come.

Bone

I've seen the covers of Bone multiple times but have never bothered to take a look into the comics. Now I have finally done so with this weeks reading and I’m glad I did. Firstly, I love the illustrated style of Bone. Everything in this comic is right up my alley when it comes to the visuals. The story follows three bald cartoon characters wondering in an unknown world who then meet up with a girl named Thorn. The visual element of this story is what really appeals to me. There are three cartoon characters that are plopped in the middle of an unknown world where they encounter humans and fantastical beasts. As a reader, I’m not trying to completely figure out why these characters exist in this world but instead just going along with the story as I enjoy the unique interactions especially with the bald cartoon character and the humans. At times it's out of the ordinary to see a mixture of character designs in a story, however, for Bone it works perfectly.

Killing Joke assessment

What is your reaction to the text you just read? This was a deeper and darker take on the Batman series. This story surprised me with twists and turns around every corner, especially the interrogation scene with Batman and the Joker and how Batman found out that the Joker in the room was a fake. This story dosnt waste any time to take action and get serious. The moment detective Gordons daughter was shot I was shocked but not as shocked when Gordon was dragged to a carnival and stripped naked by the Jokers henchmen. Even though this comic was dark, I found it quite humorous at times. Especially the ending where the Joker made Batman laugh. I thought that was a perfect way to end the story. This comic felt like it was in the realm of dark humor. What connection did you make with the story, discuss the elements of the work with which you were able to connect? To be honest, I was laughing at pretty much every momment of this comic, even though it was dark. I found it hillarou
