I really enjoyed the Best Crime Comics that our group had. I thought the style the artist used for the store owner story was interesting. The people were in kinda wonky poses and had very exaggerated hands. The one about the kid had a great narrative and kept me wanting more after I had finished it. For both, they used the "villain gets his comeuppance" ending, which we talked about in class last week. Two-Fisted Tales also did the same thing with the story with the Korean General. Looking back at Batman makes you realize how far characters have come. He started off as a murderer, then things started getting really goofy, then serious again today. Shazam is always really goofy and corny though. Thats kind of his thing. I could tell Challengers of the Unknown was heavily based off of Doc Savage. Just the look of the character reminds you of him, and also, one of them is a professor. Anyway, John Carter was a strange one. He just magically appears on mars and gets super strength and starts killing aliens for a war he knows nothing about. For all he knows, the aliens could be good and the humans could have been evil. Lastly, the Klassic Krazy Kool Kids Komics. Although I can appreciate them, I didnt find them that interesting. They were good and had fun stories, but I just couldnt get into it. Plus the duck broke his fishing pole. He could have sold it! I mean, he wasted 10 dollars. Considering the time, I think that was quiet a bit.
