		<description><![CDATA[The field of comics, also sometimes known as graphic novels, is dominated by male creators and readers. However, there's been increasing push in the last few decades by women to enter the field and make their mark. Though comics drawn by women are gaining popularity, most are classified as "indie," distributed by small publishers that may not be able to advertise or place volumes in prominent bookstores. Naomi Nowak's most recent graphic novel, Graylight, is designated indie, though it deserves to be appreciated by a wider audience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zombie apocalypse. The scenario has been reworked again and again, and has become pretty predictable. Something spreads through the population, turning almost everyone into shambling, undead creatures in search of braaaaains. A ragtag group of unlikely companions hole up together to beat back the hoard. The odds are stacked heavily against them.

Luckily, S. Dave Shabet has put a new spin on the old story. He's got one hell of a framing device.]]></description>

Absolutely love this one. A webcomic that revolves around a manslut named Rayne, the kind of guy you should hate&#8230; but I think I have a little crush on him instead.
Rayne is a guy in his mid 20s, and he is a manslut. He likes sex. He <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/least-i-could-do/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Considering the OMGHUGE plot turn that happened this October, I figured I should get around to reviewing this.
Sarah Ellerton made her name in webcomics with Inverloch. That series has ended, and now she has two projects running simultaneously, both exquisite.

The Phoenix Requiem is a fantasy version of Europe, roughly Victorian-era. In <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/11/the-phoenix-requiem/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Didier Lefèvre was a photographer, who became involved with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

This was the very first Tintin book I ever got my hands on. So there&#8217;s nostalgic attachment to it.
Published in 1936, the squabbling countries make speeches to&#8230; The League of Nations! Funnily enough, there&#8217;s not mention of communism, at all. But I suppose that wasn&#8217;t so much on the public radar until <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/09/the-blue-lotus/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

One can definitely feel the transitional quality of this volume. It FEELS like a Tintin book, but the story is quite choppy, and for good reason&#8211;originally, it was running as a serial. There is a consistent story arc, but it&#8217;s not like later books where everything is geared toward that one <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/09/the-cigars-of-the-pharoah/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I now know why this volume confused the hell out of me as a kid.
Firstly, it&#8217;s the first in the series, as published widely, but it&#8217;s technically the third book. So there are references to Tintin&#8217;s past adventures, and he has a hell of a reputation. Such a strong reputation that <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/09/tintin-in-america/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A note, in case anyone should care.
I believe that comics are a wholly valid artform, and can be amazing pieces of literature. I also acknowledge that one page of a graphic novel isn&#8217;t necessarily equal to one page of prose, as far as &#8216;amount.&#8217; Maybe &#8216;mass&#8217; is the word I want?
