Book Review: "Super Graphic" by Tim Leong

  Gordon Wyant


In the past few years displaying information in a visually appealing manner has become an art form.  Every internet denizen or news network viewer is familiar with the term infographic and I'm positive the majority of us have some of our favorites bookmarked or sitting in boards on Pinterest.  Whether the information is about important or topical subjects, scary and downright saddening, just plain off the wall, or simply fun infographics have become and integral part of our visual lives.  "Super Graphic: a visual guide to the comic book universe" seeks to apply this new infovisual art form to the world of comics and does so with great aplomb!  "Holy introduction, Batman!  Let's get to the review!"





Book Review: "Wandering Son" by Shimura Takako

Okay . . . so it has been a while since I have posted and the more astute of you will have noticed that my GoodReads "currently reading" book has been Volume 4 of Wandering Son for weeks.  No, I haven't been reading a 220 page manga for over two weeks.  But it should be said that one could easily get lost in this series over and over again . . . which is just what happens to me every time another volume in this series is released.  So, just imagine me putting off this review over and over in order to simply read the volumes once again.  It really isn't far from the truth!  And with that, on with the incredibly tardy review!
