Does anyone have recommendations for comic books? I used to love them when I was a kid and black panther was great #L204SummerReading

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

I never would have read sing unburied sing, heart of darkness, or the black panther (which are all good stories) without this class.. so thanks @akcoombsL204

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

@DAmbrose204 I dont know if youve ever read Harry Potter but obviously those are great. The maze runner series is also good but dont watch the movies 🤢

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

My #L204 project is over the Congo atrocities from the Heart of Darkness; I did a company directory website including the characters, what the company did, etc.

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

I dont know if this has been mentioned, but another #L204SummerReading MUST READ is 1984. I understand that might be an unpopular opinion, but its a great read nonetheless

@lukerd47 dude give me the follow back

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

One thing that was frustrating about the comics, was the fact that we never really saw the outside forces that were terrorizing the citizens. Did they mean local warlords, or was there something bigger?

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

The black panther comic did a great job of showing gender equality along with the struggles of ruling.. along with general internal struggles

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

I was kind of sad that section 4 ended that way, i was excited to keep reading😂 really though, before this Ive never really read a comic, and it was a pretty enjoyable experience

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

@samkrausIU @DAmbrose204 Rt, like when it switched from ayo and aneka to the dream world with shuri in section 3, i had to really think about it for a minute to realize what was going on

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

Im very confused at the beginning of section 3... is that the spirit of africa talking? Or is it someone else?

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

@ReggieManuel1 Absolutely no one grew at all 😂😂😂 except jojo maybe.. but maybe thats a statement for poverty, that its hard to grow when youre stuck in poverty.. 🤔

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

“Persepolis” didnt really end in any satisfactory way.. it didnt really have any significant conclusion, in my opinion #introtocomics

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

This second panel from the comic did a great job of portraying the suppression of womens individualism in some parts of the world

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

Both comings seem to be charged in some way or another.. “kamikaze” was slightly politically charged, whereas “Persepolis: The Veil” was charged more on basis of womens rights. #introtocomics

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

In “Kamikaze” the art style was really interesting.. the switch between scratch cartoons and actual pictures was definitely more engaging than just using one. #introtocomics

@qgrossma When mam is in the story, she definitely seems like the rock that everyone is holding onto for stability. She also seems like the glue thats holding everyone together

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

I honestly was not expecting that ending to pops story.. then again, from the very beginning you knew it wasnt going to end well

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

Was Leonie talking with Given’s ghost in chapter 12? It seems like she spoke, and then nature itself responded but Richie never saw him

[Evan Lacey @L204Evan]

Richie seems to get anxious when Leonie and Michael come around... hes probably not the only one
