War of the Worlds Comic
An assignment we had to do was a “War of the Worlds” comic.
It was a comic on darkhorse.com. We had to take notes on the colours, page organization, and shots while reading the comic. Also, we have to do questions on it. The questions are as follows:
- Comment on the colours the artist has used, how do they change over time, etc. Why do you think he has made these choices?
- Comment on the page organization and shot choices the author has made. Do you see any patterns, changes, etc? Why has he made the choices he has?
- How is reading a comic different from reading a novel? Besides the text, how else is the story given to you?
Those are some interesting questions to think about. Normally, teachers would ask you questions specifically about the story that you had to search for, or summarize the story. These questions are different, though. They actually make you think.
Anyway, speaking of questions, I’d better do mine. I’ll talk to ya’ll later!
