Week 5: Last Day in Vietnam This is definitely an interesting read. I started out so light hearted, and already within the first few pages i could feel the tone shifting to a dark and sinister place. This was probably my favorite read so far from the recommended books. I really enjoyed the the first person perspective that was depicted in this comic. I had never read a comic that had done that before. It provided a different perspective to the dark stories that originated from the Vietnam war, and gave the events more gravity, making them feel more personal. Being from Europe, our coverage on the history of the Vietnam war was brief (I can image in American schools its discussed a lot more), and it was therefore interesting to experience it in a more narrative fashion. There was one moment in particular that really hit me; when the guide in the begging begins breaking down after acting very light hearted and mentions how he wants to see his son that he's never formally met.

Week 10

Week 10: Yaoi Cinderella Boy Chapter 1. This week i read Yaoi Cinderella Boy Chapter 1. This comic amused me. I have heard of yaoi before but never read any. I thought it was rather funny when my roommates walked by and caught me reading it, and as i tried to begin explaining that it was for class, i realized how much of a made up excuse that sounded like. The story was very far fetched on honestly really hard to follow. There was so much going on visually that i wasn't quit sure what order the panels flowed in at some points. And no matter how hard i tried to understand the main character and her secret life, i just kept being pulled out of the story because couldn't stand the art style. This is just my personal taste, but i find it really hard to enjoy mangas (and anime) as I'm not that much of a fan of the art style. I love old fashioned manga like ghost in the shell, but i honestly thought this was hideous. Still an entertaining read though!

Week 14

Week 14: Megg and Mogg This week i read the comic Megg and Mogg. I didn't have enough time to finish this one all the way through but i was really into it. It was funny and felt very much in line with the humor of young adults today. It gave me a lot of 'Adult Swim' vibes, which i found amusing. I loved the owl character, and enjoyed the dynamic between all the characters. Although the art style was rough and looked almost like is was done with crayons, i really liked it and thought it fit well with the tone of the story. As i was reading this comic, i thought it was interesting how much the style of writing and drawing has changed from some of the first comics i read in this class in comparison to this one. I really enjoyed Megg and Mogg however, and will most likely finish it later this week.
