Wide World of Comics

The comics that stood out to me this week were BlackSad and Tank Girl. The artwork in these novels is impeccable. It is very interesting looking at BlackSad after seeing Maus. There seems to be a special quality in disconnecting the character from human form but still having him endure human obstacles we go through. It's as if you get to see something fresh for the first time but it is instantly relatable. A very good way to build up a connection between the artist and reader. I absolutely love the drawing style in both of these comics. Tank Girl is great because many artists today are inspired from it just because of the look. The character design and aesthetic of the comic are wonderful. BlackSad attracted me initially because of its energetic drawing with a simple color palette. You don't notice any dramatic color change besides a temperature shift for a change in feeling. These comics are a really good reference to go back to.
