We3
The page from We3 that I choose to analyze has four panels. The top begins after 3 is in the rottweilers mouth and the panel contains Bandit watching his friend being eaten. You can see in the intricacy of the drawing both pain and anger; he is foaming at the mouth as well as shedding […]

It’s Like Bullet Time
As the government gives chase to Bandit, Tinker and Pirate, in the second edition of We3, a scientist tells the pursuing soldiers over the phone that they do not understand what they are getting themselves into. He describes to them the depth of the alteration done to We3, trying to prepare them, “even their senses […] Continue reading
Neuromancer? Aren’t those the guys that raise skeletons or something?

Often at the beginning of modern fantasy novels you will find a nicely illustrated map along with a conveniently illustrated legend with navigate the unfamiliar landscape of the author’s world. Such things are provided when authors know they are going to be dropping a reader into unfamiliar territory, in an attempt to give them some bearings on […] Continue reading

Wow, I enjoyed this post. What show did the video clip come from and was that a really young Julia Stiles in it? I’m in agreement with you about the language in Neuromancer not being problematic. I also agree that the action scenes tend to be harder to track without a quick flip back to double check facts on previous pages. And again, your post was awesome. 🙂 Continue reading
