New Graphic Novel

The character I chose to focus on is Prince Charming. In the beginning of the story Prince Charming is eating alone at a diner. He convinces a girl to pay for his food, and go back to her house and have sex with him. In the original story Cinderella, Prince Charming is very sweet and sensitive. He would bow down to a women, and never use them. The way the Prince charming acts from Fables shows he is very sneaky and has a way with words. Maybe he even killed Rose Red ?

What if Cinderella.....?

If Cinderella exsisted today I think she probabley would not be as nice as in the disney movie. I think she would stand her ground and not let her 2 step sisters walk over her. I also think her step mom would be in jail for child abuse.

If I were a superman

If I were super man id use the "don't age as fast as others power". Id love this power because you can remain beautiful and flawless without any plastic surgery! One disadvantage of this power would be if all of your friends were ageing and you were still physically young. You would have to hang out with people younger then you just to blend in.

Red cape man activity.

Pa kent an Clark  are unsure about Clarks powers because he is not his biological father, and Clark was found in a rocket when he was a baby. I  think the fear and concern comes from Pa kent not being able t shelter Clark when hes older. He does not know how people are going to react to Clarks super natural powers. Also I believe Pa kent is unsure is Clark is going to use his powers for good or for evil.

ASSESMENT

       The graphic novel " Witch " and " Wolverine " are both very action packed stories. They have many similarities and differences. Both of them start out with having very strong powers and not being able to use them. Both graphic novels also show similarities and differences with the text, shadows, panel size and color. Both comics are drawn, colored and designed to add a visual element to the story. A picture is a worth thousand words. The way these pictures are illustrated say a lot. Facial expressions of characters really show what emotion there going threw, rather then writing it out.
      
       The difference between the coloring in " Witch " and " Wolverine " is that in Witch the colors are more dark and gloomy and the colors in Wolverine are very loud and vibrant. This is because in Witch the story is more dramatic and revealing. Rather then in Wolverine, everything is very blunt and out there. The similarity's withing both coloring is when the scene does have a intense emotion, the illustrator chose to use colors to match the emotion. For example red for anger.

       Both stories are rather dramatic in its own way. Witch is more of a shocking dramatic because of all the twist and turns. Like when her aunt and uncle kid nap her! Wolverine is more of a action drama, because of all the fighting and crime in the novel. Shadowing is a oftenly used technique in writing and drawing. During deep heart felt scenes in both of these comics, the shadowing is very similar. You can also tell the intensity of the scene because of shadowing. When the shadowing is a lite grey it might not be as server pertaining to as if the shadowing was a dark grey or black.

       Another major contribution to making a graphic novel good, is panel sizing. Through out " Witch " the panels are rather big, emphasizing the severity of the situation. In the comic book Wolverine it is different. All the panels are very tiny, and there is many of them. This shows how active he is. However these panels do also show some similarities. When the scene is about to get heavy, the panel is big then it branches off into little snippet scenes.

      There for, all graphic novels are similar and different in there own ways. My examples are some ways that they use Coloring, shadowing and panel size to show emotion. The two graphic novels have very detailed images. " Witch " and " Wolverine " have many similarities and differences and these are just a few ways you can see them.

Wolverine

The charater Wolverine is really a classic. The character is very eye catching with his retracatble blades and super natural powers. This leads to an important question, what type of person may this mysterious man be? The opening page of the graphic novel Wolverine says " I may not be doing the right thing, but im good at what I do." This is evidence that Wolverine is probabley not a productive member of society, but more of a delinquint.
