Lit. of Comics & The Graphic Narrative

Your Letter by Hyeon A Cho is about a transfer student who finds letters in her desk. The person who wrote the letter provided a series of clues of his whereabouts. So, Sori teams up with a friend, who seems to have had a connection with the owner of the letter, to find out who this person is. This story is a quiet one, but there is never a dull moment. Nothing supernatural happens, although there’s a witch with a magical garden. It’s very Ghibli-esque. The character’s emotions are pure, and their emotions are in sync with the nature of their environment. My own feelings start to feel like a supernatural aspect of me. Sori has such a strong moral code that she doesn’t change very much throughout the entire comic but inspires courage to those around her. Sori stands up for a girl getting bullied, only to become a victim herself. But that doesn’t stop her from protecting another friend, Eugene, who was also a victim of bullying. Not only are the artistic choices visually app

I feel bad for the person Arthur Fleck was before he turned into Joker. He’s lived a life of bad luck and poor choices, and everyone processes trauma differently. Some people find the light at the end of the tunnel, while others can't escape that tunnel. The highlight of this story is that both “good" and “bad” characters were faced with equally horrific situations.

Batman confronts the Joker with this genuine desire to rehabilitate Joker, I am convinced that the Joker was moved at that moment, as his final “joke” revealed how incredibly vulnerable he actually is. As much as he wants to be free of misery, he’s terrified to trust anybody, even if it is a friend. He would rather laugh off the pain rather than return to a life of potential misery. Joker is an awful person, yet we refer to him fondly as a pop culture ico

"This One Summer" completely nails what it’s like to be a young girl who just wants to feel included but not having the maturity to be a part of anything. It is a coming-of-age story with the theme of women. This comic is an absolute gem. This is a story only women can write because it’s deeply personal without being uncomfortably invasive.   When you’re young and you see teenagers in a group, you’re curious as to what they’re talking about. You know your boundaries, but you’ll take any opportunities to fit in.   You’re also in this weird period where you’re socially aware of where you and others stand but are still too young to understand why those boundaries exist; you just know not to cross them. Between these gaps is the level of emotional complexity. She is too young to understand the trauma her mother is going through. She justifies her frustration towards her (and girls in general) based on how other people treat each other. At one point, Rose concludes
