Now, McCloud takes comics to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are created, read, and perceived today, and how they're poised to conquer the new millennium. Part One of this fascinating and in-depth book includes: The life of comics as an art form and as literature The battle for creators' rights Reinventing the business of comics The volatile and shifting public perceptions of comics Sexual and ethnic representation on comics Then in Part Two, McCloud paints a breathtaking picture of comics' digital revolutions, including: The intricacies of digital production The exploding world of online delivery The ultimate challenges of the infinite digital canvas Review: A thought-provoking read - It’s probably been 25 years since I first read Scott McCloud’s Reinventing Comics. Having recently reread his Understanding Comics, I was curious to see how the sequel read all these years later. While some of the technical references are stuck in 2000, the fundamental ideas are as invigorating and stimulating as ever. What surprised me was how little comics have evolved in the way McCloud suggested they might—at least to this point. In fact, the opposite seems to have happened. Mostly, the dynamic picturescape McCloud foresaw has been the dominion of gaming. Meanwhile, comics have been born again in a new upcropping of brick-and-mortar stores that folks like me enjoy frequenting to buy printed comics over which we pore to be transported into interactive worlds that exist only in our own minds. A thought-provoking read! Review: An important read for any comics fan, author and/or buisnessman - Following his absolutely perfect Understanding Comics from 1993, this 2000 book is a great What-If? book where Scott McCloud analyzes the zeitgeist of Comics in the US, and explores the industry's history as well as it's possible future. Form the vantage point of 2000, it is surprising how far McCloud's understanding of the digital option is accurate, and although some of his predictions have bared fruit, it's also interesting to see the exploration of mediums that basically already passed. I strongly feel that this is an important a book as his previous Understanding Comics, and would highly recommend this to Comics readers and probably insist (if I may be so bold) that comics artists, authors, businessmen and scholars make this a mandatory reading. ## Features - The life of comics as an art form and as literature - The battle for creators' rights - Reinventing the business of comics - The volatile and shifting public perceptions of comics - Sexual and ethnic representation on comics - The intricacies of digital production - The exploding world of online delivery - The ultimate challenges of the infinite digital canvas ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #141,300 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Comics & Graphic Novel History & Prices #25 in How to Create Comics #186 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 336 Reviews | ## Images ![Reinventing Comics: The Evolution of an Art Form – Twelve Revolutions in Digital Publishing, Creators' Rights, and the Future of Storytelling - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XqKpR4lzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A thought-provoking read *by S***N on April 7, 2025* It’s probably been 25 years since I first read Scott McCloud’s Reinventing Comics.
