### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best deconstruction of comic books as a medium
*by S***Y on 27 May 2018*

Its a beautiful decnstruction of the medium, the thing that makes this book special is how charming the writing is.The art might not be something special but it still manages to convey little nuances related to the medium with ease which goes on to show how capable Scott is when it comes down to his craftmanship.It not only goes into the medium itself but even sheds light into topics like eastern and western storytelling which is not always discussed.No matter if you are into medium or not you should give this book a chance because its that good. Special recommendation for artists who are thinking about creating comics/manga.
