Saga Analysis

This guy posted a new analysis on Saga. Saw his Moon Knight one on here the other day and it was pretty good.

This is the type of reviews I like. Where they get into the specifics of how comics are made. Thanks user, I'm going to listen to more of this stuff

Someone posted the MK one the other day. Not seen the Southern Bastards one before.

I like these because you don't often get people going into he specifics of it. Most reviews just say "art is okay, great writing" or whatever.

I like how he highlights the geometry in the Moon Knight one, very informative

He and kaptainkristian are top tier guys on YT

But we all know they have nothing on Mr enter

Hey guys - just found this thread and wanted to say thanks for the kind words and checking out the videos - really glad you're enjoying them!

Has anyone got suggestions for any comics they'd like tackling in the future?

Transmetropolitan. I feel like its more relevant today than when it came out.

I dig the bit about Sophie's speech bubble

That attention to detail is one reason I really like Saga

Love and Rockets

Kabuki. It has so many layers to reading it.

I feel ashamed to say I've had a copy of Kabuki on my shelf for ages and never got round to reading it. I should probably do that.

There's a topic in Transmetropolitan that I've had jotted down for a while and need to put some research into, so it's definitely on the list.

And Love & Rockets is fucking great!

Omega Men.

Crossing Midnight

Kabuki is a slow read, so take your time. Basically you have to read the panels and then the page as a whole and sometimes stop to analyze what you just read. Generally I read the page 3 times before going to the next one. A great read but takes a lot longer than a standard comic.

Great channel btw, just finished watching the other videos too

That's pretty much how I read every comic... Takes me bloody ages.

kill six billion demons

Prophet.

Brandon Graham usually prints his super rough but effective layouts at the end of each issue, would be interesting to compare that script to the finished book, especially with your keen eye.

Plus it's just a great book.

For that kind of analysis, I think East of West and The Manhattan Projects are good subjects. And a lot of Warren Ellis's stuff, like his new James Bond series.

Ellis is kind of the opposite of Vaughn; in Vargr and Karnak, he's written pages of amazing action with no dialog.

This guy has it right.

What kind of comics are you interested in?

Also The Incal, Jim Woodring's Frank, Hard Boiled, From Hell, Watchmen, The Adventures of Tintin, Chris Claremont's X-Men run, and the works of Charles Burns

Are there more analysis' like this on youtube?
