Summary: An Enlightening Read
Comment: Even as a lifelong reader of many types of comics (superheroes, Asterix, underground, manga, etc.) this book was a revelation. McCloud has a gife for explaining the why's and how's of sequential art in a way that kept my attention through the whole book. As a professional artist and multimedia developer, the concepts McCloud puts forth regarding human perception of two-dimensional sequential art have helped bring me to a new level and I have recommended this book to others in my field who have found it equally useful and fascinating.
And if any of you comic readers know people who mercilessly rag on you for being a geek, this book just might shut them up.

Summary: Not Just For Comic Fans
Comment: Understanding Comics is about so much more than just understanding comics. It is an excellent work on Symbolism in many forms. I have been a fan of comics for years and I think this made me even more so. However, I wanted to know if a non-comic reader would get as much enjoyment out of this as I did. I got my father to read it by telling him about some of the fantastic things inside and left it lying on the table. The next day I found him reading it and he loved it too. We discussed it at great length and I think it left him with a lot more respect for Comics as Art. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: What is everybody talking about?
Comment: I don't know what everyone is talking about, but this book was an absolutely dull nightmare of a read. I think I would rather read something written by Todd McFarlane than to read this garbage. I have been reading comics for over 20 years and this is one of the most hyped books I had not read, so I picked it up expecting a revelation and I could barely get through the inane drudgery that Scott McCloud puts you through. Sorry, I don't need an explanation of panels and motion. I think I learned that when I was 9 and read my first issue of The Avengers. What exactly is so fascinating about this book? Someone please tell me!
