Summary: Useful introduction that will help me find more if I need it
Comment: I have no interest in spending a month figuring out exactly what Wittgenstein *really* meant and wrote, but I do need to be able to read a text that mentions "dasein" or "Wittgenstein's view of technology", for instance, without stumbling. This introduction was amusingly written and gave me enough of an outline that next time I come across Wittgensteinian references I'll know where to look for more detail if I need it.
In general I quite like the comic style - so refreshing compared to many academic texts which seem to relish being as abtrusely and boringly presented as possible - sometimes I thought the illustrator was thinning out the paint a bit much. The same illustrations are mixed and remixed till I was thoroughly sick of that same old drawing of Wittgenstein's face.

Summary: too brief and not concise
Comment: most of the texts from this series are reliable introductions to the thinkers they discuss. this series is more in depth than the "beginners" series of comic introductions. this text falls short in that wittgenstein secondary texts are usually thicker than other texts in the series for a reason. wittgenstein is a complex thinker in which it takes time to explain no less outline. this text to too brief and too generalized to be effective and winds up confusing more than, in wittgensteinian terms, elucidating
