I really think that Comics and Games are both in the same boat. Neither is entirely accepted as a "true" art form though both are reaching that point (though I feel that comics are much, much closer than games.) But, baby steps, you know?
List of comics I've read/re-read/reading recently:
The Killing Joke
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
Watchmen
Comic Book Tattoo
With the exception of Comic Book Tattoo...all character studies. But hey, I love writing character studies...and I guess reading them, too. Comics are really under appreciated in my opinion, especially since I used to not really appreciate them myself. There's so much work and beauty in each of the comics listed above, whether it be in story, art, or message (if one is present at all.)
Found myself kind of leaning toward DC lately. Think its because I feel their characters have much, much more depth than those in Marvel comics. But, of course, that's just the opinion of a newcomer to the comic scene. I don't really have the credentials to really critique comics but, whatever, it's my blog and I can say anything I want. :P
