It's great. So far it's been a pretty heavy introduction to comic criticism (in the part I was just reading, he was talking about Kant's Critique of Aesthetic Judgment), and yet it's so enjoyable and conversational that it hardly feels like anything arduous or even very academic. It's like a cunning trick.
So yeah, if you're interested in that sort of thing, buy it, or borrow it off me when I'm done.
I've been reading a lot of comics recently, as a matter of fact, mostly by Grant Morrison; I've read the first volume of Animal Man and the first couple of volumes of The Invisibles in the last couple of days. It's amazing to be able to do something so constructive and enjoyable, but admittedly it is kind of distracting me from my Digital Poetry module, and from doing my journal.
The Invisibles is great as well, now I come to mention it (Animal Man is good too, but The Invisibles is better):
Also bought some new music today, Pavement's Bright the Corners, Yo La Tengo's I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass and a Curtis Mayfield compilation, which was only £2.74 and has Move on Up, We the People Who Are Darker That Blue and Superfly on it.
So yeah.
