Understanding Comics was a broadly interesting book about how we
perceive a sequence of images as progressing in time, and secondarily
about comic books.
Reinventing Comics is entirely about the comic book industry: why it has
never produced much good output and how McCloud thinks it should be
reinvented using the internet. So, it has a much narrower focus, and I
thought his view of the internet was a bit starry-eyed for these jaded
times...
I recently read Dave McKean's Cages and Alan Moore's From Hell. They're
both great. Also, be sure to check out Kyle Baker's other books: You
Are Here and The Cowboy Wally Show.
