  2. I like that you compared American vs. Japanese comics! It was interesting to learn how they differ. Was it difficult adjusting to reading Deathnote form right to left? I actually kind of prefer the Japanese style of signifying motion! It was also cool that you included screenshots of McCloud's book. I didn't even think of doing that.

  3. It would be so interesting to read from right to left, it kinda boggles my mind. Its interesting to note that between American and Japanese comic's placement of the speech bubbles every one at least reads from high to low though the direction is reversed. It'd be interesting to find a comic that read from low to high and what effect that would have on the readers.
