Go, Read: New Yorker on Comics A long critical piece on graphic novels in The New Yorker is worth reading, mostly because of critic Peter Schjeldahl graceful, two-sentence takedowns of a few highly-regarded recent books. He's better with specific readings than with general points (his dismissal of manga screams "Dad weighs in" even if you agree with the general notion floated), although his notion that we may have seen the high point 1998-2002 can only be dismissed by a lot more great works than what we've seen since.
