The Online Comics Gap
The Online Comics Gap
Do you a kind of comic addict? I do, for a while. Comic strip, especially Japanese comics, was very interested materials for the reason of wide choice of subject. The fact, every Japanese reads comics. By this fact, there were many choice of comics for all ages in many forms. Just in example, Detective Conan was very nice comics in area of young-adult, its stories was a young high school detective who famous in his city. I like many others Japanese comics, Kung Fu Boy, Kenji (it has historical perspective of martial art in East), Astro Boy, Break Shot and many more. I do read many of them in my high-school. But, today, i mostly like to read them again, if they were.For the breaking time of internet era, this media offers something nice to comics world. Scott McLoud for example, he has create his nice comic works (some professional mention him revolutionary creator) in his website, he also published two great book covering the revolution of comics, Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics. The first was wonderful books, covering the most complete aspect of comics linking with arts, its history, and its future. Yeah, comics was a wonderful subject instead of its entertain. Now, turning to the new media century, what pros and cons affected to comics? Tim Cavanaugh, in Online Journalism Review said "The problems of reproducing these items online tend to outweigh the advantages of making them available". Please read it, if you well damn brave to read comics! It's nice guys!
