Today in class we discussed our feelings on the comic book we read; Fables. I felt like everyone was talking about how much they didn't like the comic and how bad it was compared to the imagination inspiring tales. But I loved the comic and thought it was way more interesting than any of the tales. I almost feel like since it was not the boring essay media they are used to everyone automatically decided to hate the comic. They all complained that it was very in your face and visual, but that is the style of a comic book and in this case I thought that the comic really brought the characters to life. There is no life in a vague description of snow white but in a comic book she has emotions and a physical body that a tale cannot offer her and we as readers honestly probably never give her. We as readers do not imagine the complexity of her personality and I think that was one of the major strengths of the comic book. I don't understand why people dislike comics so much I think they are a great visual way to present ideas and tell stories. I love the style of the illustrations and the writing and think they are captivating.
