Eisner & McClaud

The comic guides by Eisner and McClaud were both interesting and informative. I never thought that there could possibly be more to comics than just reading them but apparently it's just not that simple. Sure there are pictures and words right in front of you but there is a lot more to it than just words and pictures. Eisner's take on the subject was informative but a little boring for my taste seeing as most of it was typed up in a traditional writing format. McClaud showed the magic of comic books by talking in that style. I also like how he made it so that he was on the page talking you through it all so that you could even get imagery of him teaching you. Also since he wrote it in comic style he kept me more interested in what he was talking about and made it easier to read unlike Eisner's approach.
