In Class: Underground Comics
In Class:
The underground comic I read in class was 'The Last Words in Comics! XYZ Comics'. I did not enjoy either, I would never read these in my free time. I am not a fan of just making comics about sex or objectifying women or just weird fantasies. I did not like the art style in any way either, I found it pretty repulsive. I not against pushing the envelope in content, but I want a reason for it, for it to help or enhance the story in some way. I understand the appeal, that the comic is trying to be offensive. I was not offended by the comic, but more that I was not drawn or impressed by it. It seemed like a twelve year old boy who started to hit puberty and just drew out gross fantasies. I really don't like the art, I appreciate all types of art, but this is just unappealing in every way to me. Im sure there is an underground comic out there that I would enjoy, but of the ones I glanced through today, I am not going to be seeking them out.
