Comics, Shakespeare, and Lost
Mar. 31st, 2010 09:27 pmSo, got curious and checked out Whedonesque's discussion of the preview pages of Buffy issue #34, which annoyed me when I looked at them, but admittedly it's hard to tell whether an issue is worth reading based on preview pages, just as it is impossible to tell if a book is worth reading based on the first five pages. I usually check out first five, middle ten, and last five. Just as I normally give a tv series at least five episodes before I kick it to the curb, with a few exceptions.
Anyhow...the discussion is a rather interesting one on the comic book medium and how various people relate to that medium. It's worth noting that not everyone enjoys all mediums. My brother hates live theater or "plays". He loves rock or live music performances. But plays with dialogue, dance, and people singing to a story on stage? Not so much. Has 0 patience for them. I'm the exact opposite - I love live theater and plays. But tend to fall asleep or become incredibly bored during a live music performance, with few exceptions.
