Comics take the principle of a storybook - full of pictures - to another level and their sequential nature make it easier to follow the story, at least in theory.

Friday Night Fights - You Never Step To A Man Named Leon
I thought it was about time I joined in on Bahlactus’ Friday Night Fights, and I couldn’t think of a better way to pay tribute to the godfather of cosmic soul and beatdowns than by taking a page from B. Clay Moore, Ed Tadem, Seth Peck, and Tigh Walker’s ‘76

My First, Last, And Only Words On One More Day
I wasn’t really going to say anything about “One More Brand New Day”, because I think it’s been done to death, but then I had a discussion with Mike Haynes from Panels of Awesome about how the way my long-standing love for the X-Men can result in a blindness to many faults in their stories [...]

Mock Away - I Want X-Force!
Comic Book Resources’ George A. Tramountanas has posted an interview with X-Force editor John Barber about the post-Messiah Complex direction of the X-books in general and X-Force in particular.
