The Comics Get Serious is dedicated to the showcasing of graphic novels from almost all genres: science fiction/fantasy, superhero, adventure, gay and lesbian, biography, religious, children's, etc. All graphic novels will be judged on these merits:
Quality of art is a minor consideration, as many good graphic novels do not contain great art so much as great cartooning. I'm big into story, and that's my main focus. I will focus mainly on graphic novels that I did not review previously in my book. However, in some cases, time and age have changed my perspective on a book, and I may re-review that title, always noting when I am doing so. Reviews will contain the book's title, bibliographic information, genre, audience (with characteristics such as nudity, profanity, etc.), a synopsis, and an evaluation. The "Audience" section is meant mostly as a guideline for collection development by librarians. I welcome correspondence: recommendations for titles to review, additions or corrections to factual data, comments on my reviews, and suggestions on how to make The Comics Get Serious more useful to readers. For information on sending review copies, check out my "Submitting Books for Review" page. |
