Go, Read: FT on Modern Comics

This Financial Times article on recent comics The Plot, Embroideries, and the re-release of City of Glass provides as a bonus a mostly astute reading of the development of the graphic novel and other forms ostensibly devoted to an adult readership equivalent to those seeking out new literary fiction or seeing the best off-Broadway plays. What seems remarkable to me about the last five years in comics isn't the production of a few brilliant works. You can name three to five great or near great works every year for the last ten or twelve, if not the last twenty. I believe the key difference right now is that 20-40 pretty good works are being released in a calendar year, as opposed to five to seven.
