Emma MMF: Johanna Draper Carlson

filed under , 8 March 2010, 02:02 by

Johanna Draper Carlson of Comics/Manga Worth Reading submitted the first of of least two (and what is shaping up to be three) Emma links for the MMF — her review of the ‘main run’ of Emma, vols. 1-7:

“The book is a wonderful portrayal of what it might have been like to live in another place and time… and isn’t that the magic of comics of any kind? Showing us someone else’s experience in detail, even if fictional?

The first two books were less about what happened and more about the exploration of another society and the kind of people who found themselves within it. Later books continue to build the full cast, and secrets cause relationships to change quickly.

Anyone who’s read Emma can’t help be affected by the struggles of the two leads to accomplish something so simple: being in love.”

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.

In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)
