Recently I have been Reading BONE by Jeff Smith and I have to say it is a wonderful surprise. BONE is a gripping story with a bucket of laughs and suspense at every turn. BONE is a comic book story that deserves a 8.7/10. BONE is a good example of why alternative comic books are a wonderful way tell a story and that they have a place in the American comic book industry. Several major comic book companies have already started using the appeal of alternative comic books to increase sales like dc's vertigo imprint and some have made business models out of making them like fantagraphics or oni press [just to name a few]. Alternative comic books are not a new idea , as they have been a major staple in other countries like Japan, France, and Italy[ just to name a few]. Many famous alternative comic book title such as Art Spiegelman's Mouse or Harvey Pekar's American Splendor are the subject of various intellectual conversations because of the shear detail and complex story telling in some of them. In conclusion, alternative comic books are a great way to tell a story and should not be overlooked by the north American audience.
Go check one out today.
