so, just got back from the Crow Bar - boy do they make great greyhounds. well, there were 7 of us at this holiday edition of the Graphic Novel Reading Club. as you may know, we read Finder this past month. [disclosure: i ended up not reading the book this month.] the general consensus was that the story had some value, but the way it was presented and written left the reader wondering what the heck was going on. the discussion revolved around the disjointed aspect of the book, the fascinating characters, the gender question of the characters, and even the font used for the lettering. eventhough i didn’t read the book, i learned a ton about lettering and the history of lettering and how it is done now. i love this.
in the end, the consensus was that this may have been a situation where the first book isn’t necessarily a good book. some may proceed with more issues of Finder, others may not.
This coming month, we plan on reading “V for Vendetta” by Alan Moore. Alan Moore is famous for “From Hell” and “League of Extaordinary Gentlemen.” Check it out and join us on January 19 for the next rendition of the Graphic Novel Reading Club.
