Web Comics

For this week, although I already wrote about Ava’s demon on this blog, I will write about it again. This week’s topic is “web comics”, and I think Ava’s demos is the perfect piece of work to talk about. Specially since its constantly updating.  Ava’s in one of the web comics with the best artwork out there I think. All of the panels are completely rendered, this makes it beautiful to look at. It also does not follow a regular web comic format. The panels are individual images, so thing like “the gutter” are completely absent. I think one of the downsides from web comics is that you don’t get a scheduled update. It all depends on the author’s personal life and weather or not they have enough time to draw anything. Overall I still think Ava’s is a great read, this medium allowed to become well known by its own, which is exactly what makes web comics such a popular medium now days

The first reaction from “Pretty Deadly” was positive. But this is mostly because of the art that comes with the text. The art is beautiful and extremely appealing, but the text is extremely confusing. The imagery helps convey the general idea of what’s happening so the text is understandable, but I think it could be better. On the other hand, the subject matter is extremely interesting. This idea of the devil’s child is fun, but again, the text is very misleading and makes it difficult for me to be hooked on the story. I made a number of connections with the story, mostly artistic.

Also the use of color is extremely appealing and is being pushed in a way that I would like to use it. This leaves impact on me cause it’s a tool that is being used to communicate the

Women's Comics

For this week I decided to read “Diary of a Dominatrix”. How could you not? Specially with a title like that. This read was everything and nothing that I was expecting. I thought this comic would be all abut humanizing a dominatrix, which it is. But its also like a tutorial on how to be one? I understand it mostly does this to give some insight, and even for the sake of comedy, but its still incredibly surprising and entertaining. The art is really nice as well, the author has a good way of picturing woman without giving them a “perfect body” but also make them extremely appealing. Overall this is definitely worth a read. I would recommend it to any stress filled college student that needs a break.
