One of the comics I picked up was Eternals by Marvel, published in 2008. The main thing that attracted me to this comic was the cover. On the cover it has an image of Iron-man and another character that I am not too familiar with. I may have liked it because it had Iron-man, and he is one of my favorite characters, but I also liked the art. It had this realistic look to it. The art work in this comic was nicely done, but it is not my favorite. I found the images to look a bit too realistic and I prefer for the art to still have a cartoon feel to it. The artist, Daniel Acuna, did a great job with color and shading. Some images almost had this 3D look and feel to it which was interesting, but again, not my favorite.
I was mainly looking at the images, so I haven't had a chance to read the rest of the comic, but just from the first few pages, I feel lost to what is going on. Mainly since I probably need to read the first issues and this is a continuation form those, so I don't know anything about the story. What I like is that it does have a decent amount of text, but it is not cluttered with it. So we can enjoy looking at the images.
Color vs. black and white is good to think about. In manga why do you think the books are mostly B&W? How do we read a B&W comic differently?
ReplyDeleteMost are probably done in black and white to save some money. Also, one can see more of where the tones were done.
