of interesting thoughts..." "Hero Video has organized this disc into eight chapters divided by topic, meaning a viewer can easily view them in any order or across multiple viewing sessions." "With nine creators involved, Hero Video is to be thanked immensely for identifying the interview subjects throughout the entire disc, easily solving a problem that plagues many documentary films that interview many unfamiliar subjects." | |

"The
greatest strength of Telling Stories is its information. All the
people interviewed are well-versed in comic book history and eager to
discuss their craft. Jurls and editor Damon Crump try to shape a natural arc
out of the subjects broached, linking together why people got into the
industry, what has inspired them to keep going, relationships with the
audience, and the challenges inherent in working on established properties
versus one's own, etc., and ending Telling Stories with chapters
where the creators contemplate their legacy and the future of the art form.
A lot of good stories rise up in the mix." "If you have a passing interest in comics or are a fan of any of the creative folks involved, there is a lot being talked about in Telling Stories: The Comic Book Creators that you may not have heard before. Plus, all of the writers and artists taking part are passionate about what they do, and so when they talk, it's hard not to listen." "I liked the informative content of Telling Stories: The Comic Book Creators." "If you like comic books or any of these creators strike your fancy, give Telling Stories a spin." |
