Review of 'Understanding Comics' on 'Goodreads'

I've been reading comics since I was small. I've borrowed this book a couple of times and never actually read it. After receiving it as a gift I devoured it. What a great read.

I will certainly never read a comic in the same passive manner as I did in the past.
