Critiquing Comics 019: “Black Snow” and “Electric 1937”

Tim and Mulele are back with two comics, submitted for critique by their creators:

I'm Famous/Black SnowMichael Balestreri & Alex Siquig have several comics at blacksnowcomic.com, all of them centering around a group of superheroes. We tap our feet on the non-existent floor, and invoke Chris Schweizer’s “Guide to Spotting Tangents.” (Chris appeared in Deconstructing Comics Episode 157!)

Electric 1937Michael Liggett’s “Electric 1937” is set in a fantastically imaginative alternate reality. The comic just needs to tell us about it a bit sooner.

Reading ComicsReading Comics is a book by Douglas Wolk, aimed at a somewhat academic audience who isn’t familiar with comics and is wondering, “So do I have to pretend to like graphic novels now, too?” Tim and special guest reviewer Chris Schweizer from the Savannah College of Art and Design talk about what they liked (and only pretended to like) about the book.
