OK, so remember how I said at the beginning I wouldn't be doing comic reviews? CHANGE OF PLANS. Now I know why so many comic websites to comic reviews!
And it totally makes sense too. I mean, if you love reading comics, naturally, you're going to want to spread the word, and what better way than by writing a review of them?Well duhhh girl what were you thinking when you started this blog? So from now on I'll try and start incorporating more of the comics I read into my posts. It'll be good for me as well, since it'll "force" me to read comics I've been wanting to read but been putting off for god knows what reason. It'll also force me get more personal with you all and share my interests and passions within comics. My niche within the comics niche. Oh boy here we go!
But while I will be doing more "comic reviews" of sorts, they won't exactly be comic reviews. Rather, I hope to analyze the comics I am interested in and find the broader implications they make about the author, society, the world, etc... Sort of like writing an English paper on a comic, yeah! Except hopefully not as boring. Hopefully...
So there will most likely be spoilers in my posts. Major spoilers. So before you read my post I recommend you go and read the comic(s)! I will make a list of the comics I will be going over at the very beginning of my post so that you can decide whether you want to read my post or not.
Hmm I had a lot less to say about this than I thought I wanted to say. But I just wanted to let y'all know that I will slowly start to figure out where I want this blog to go! I'm already miles ahead of where I was weeks ago when I first started this blog. And slowly I am starting to decode the formless and wordless thoughts and ideas in my head into English I can actually put down and communicate to others. Feels good, feels good, to be doing this! Although I have to admit it's a booger to do this as well. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do this if it wasn't for the blogging class which pushed me to start this, and it's still a struggle to try and write something every week, but hopefully by the end of this semester I'll be motivated enough to continue this blog on my own. One tends to languish in comfort and apathy, even when it makes them more and more miserable...
That's enough about me, and enough for this post. From now on look forward to more talk about comics and their awesomeness! The whole reason for my starting this blog was to proliferate the idea that comics were just as valid a source of serious thought-provoking material as novels and movies, and I think this is a good step in that direction to prove my point. Yes, comics are fun, and they can also be.... LIFE CHANGING!!!!
