Sound effects on the panels
The Conversation's written about the use of sound effect words in what's otherwise a silent medium, including the words employed when Spider-Man shoots his webbing, and Wolverine takes out his claws. The topic is an interesting one, but the article is ruined when they inject a most entirely unnecessary example:
So again, the study of sound-effect words in the panels is a good one, but if these kind of divisive subjects are injected into the article, it sullies the whole topic.
In My Friend Dahmer, created by a school friend of the infamous serial killer, the protagonist is seen carrying a dead cat on his way home by a group of kids. Comics creator John “Derf” Backderf applies bigger-bold words in one of the kids’ speech balloon to emphasise the shouting and surprise of onlookers.I can't believe they're spoiling this all for the sake of including the work of a left-wing propagandist. Worst, the word "protagonist" does not suit the subject of a person was, quite the opposite, an antagonist. Why, it all demonstrates what's gone wrong with comics coverage today as much as with writing and illustration: too many politically motivated items, to say nothing of an over-focus on darkness and depression.
So again, the study of sound-effect words in the panels is a good one, but if these kind of divisive subjects are injected into the article, it sullies the whole topic.
