Dirie of A Domanactrix

     Dirie of A Domanactrix, was a fun short comic. I liked the random playful thing throughout the book, like the cutout doll at the beginning or the "how to"s throughout it. They were probably my favorite aspect of the hole comic, the interactive aspect of them is always something i enjoy seeing in books. I feel the illustrations worked really well with the story and I just loved the way Zelda was drawn. You can really just see her personalty.

       The story however did feel vary short to me. Although dealing with a vary explicit part of the character life. I didn't feel the story really got in depth with the main characters story. It was just overall a little to short for me. However I still think it was a great little read and really was fun, every page had some humor in it.

Little Nemo

  
   Really love that Winsor Mccay used dreams as the main aspect to focus his Little Nemo story's around. That is an idea that has always been vary interesting to me. All Little Nemo story's I have had a chance to read have been vary cute and fun story's. I have yet to read one story that wasn't.

   Of course Mccay's art work is amazing as well. I have such a huge respect for his work, especially after seeing his work up close at the galore. It's just amazing, I don't think I could ever get bored of looking at Winsor Maccays work.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

   As a kid growing up I used to watch invader Zim, so once I had started reading Johnny the Homicidal Manic I was already familiar with Jhonen Vasquez work. As all of Vasquez work Johnny seems to have a "gross" looking art style about it which really adds to the story. The story is ridiculous and dark of course as a teenager that's just what I wanted to read.

    I will say I have always been a little more of a fan of Vasquez comic "I Feel Sick" which is pretty much the same as all Vasquez work, but the main character is Johnny's girl friend. I'm not sure what it is about "I Feel Sick" that appeals to me more than Johnny the Homicidal Manic perhaps its just the hole female main character thing haha.

Tiny Kitten Teeth

   

  Let me start by saying the art work is freaking adorable and I love the color pallet used throughout the panels. The name as well is just such a great name for such a cute little comic. The character designs are so fun looking. They really embodies the different animals that each character depicts. I can almost see some of the animals in real life, making the same facial expressions as the characters in the comic.

    How ever the story is a little wordy and drags on a bet to much at point. I will say the story did get better as i kept reading. In the end the art work really won me over for this comic, and I enjoyed it so adorable!

Ranma 1/2

   
       I first started read Ranma 1/2 as a kid.  As most of Rumikos work Ranma Is really fun and cute manga, as well is the art work. I have always enjoyed the character to character interaction in Rumikos work. In Ranma this is especially so, seeing how all the character interact with Ranma's two self's is always fun. All though I do enjoy Ranma it is not one of my favorite. The story does get vary repetitive and dull over time. there are only so many times Ranma can all of the sudden tern into a girl right at the worst time. It's still a great manga however and I think anyone can get a lighthearted laugh at it.

Fat Freddy's Cat

   Fat Freddy's Cat was such a fun comic to read. I really enjoyed seeing how in each story something bad always seemed to happen. The sarcastic humor was as well really enjoyable I just love humor like that! The art work its self kind of embodies the vary idea of "underground comic" with its over all grunge look about it. As for the story it flowed vary well, never dragged on for to long always straight to the punch line.

  I have to say underground comics is probably my favorite genre of comics. The "no rules" aspect of them is vary appealing to me and Fat Freddy's Cat definitely has that aspect about it. Fat Freddy's Cat was a vary fun read.

Maus

   Spiegelman's depiction of different races as animals within the book really asses the the story. By doing so it had a kind of "sugar coating" effect on the story. At first glance your just reading a story with cute animals completely unaware of the fact that your actually readying a story about the holocaust. I really appreciate the fact that animals were used to depict the character it made the story a lot less depressing and easier to stomach for me. Maus is a great example that a graphic novels are more than just fun stories about super hero's made for kids, its real literature. Sometimes adults just like fun pictures to go along with there story's!

   All though Maus essentially is a story of cats and mice its a very real and meaningful story about an historical event. The story is vary well written and at no point did i find myself losing interest in it. The overall simplistic art work is something i really enjoyed. The simpler art style really balanced out the hole book for me, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if the artwork had been more graphic and realistic (might be a little overwhelming for me haha). All in all Maus was a great read and I really enjoyed it!
