Amazon Significant Seven, August 2007: With none of the bashful, "comics aren’t just for kids any more!" throat-clearing that accompanies most mainstream writing on comics, Douglas Wolk’s Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean leaps straight into smart, conversational talk about perhaps the liveliest medium going.
