Proof of Concept - Page 3

How much you'll enjoy Proof of Concept probably depends on the degree to which you're interested in the creative end of comics storytelling. It's no surprise that most of the comics bloggers who've reviewed it have been favorable to it – that very interest is part of what makes them blog, after all – but my suspicion is more casual readers will find Young's collection an ultimately maddening experience. Me, I'm glad I was given the opportunity to read it, if only for the tiny window it offers into the way one writer/publisher's mind works. Perhaps I'll be pitching him an idea some day. . .
