Reaction to Eisner

I found the Eisner comic strip explaining comics to be a pretty interesting read. According to Will Eisner, comics have to have sequential art which is somewhat common sense, but he also adds that it is stirctly neutral when it comes to style, quality, and subject matter. Meaning that a comic can pretty much cover any topic. The comic goes on to say that most people stereotype comic books into being for 8 year olds, an offense I am definetly guilty of. The comic often takes to long to get it's point across but still gets the information about comics across. The part about abstracting a real life photo was particularly interesting and the images used were particularly helpful.
