Week 5

The first thing i noticed about a contract with god was that for the first while there are no speech bubbles until a while in. i though that was really interesting. the contract with god story i also thought was interesting, im not sure what kind of statement it was trying to make or what will eisners beliefs are but it was an interesting read. i liked that there wasnt speech bubbles for a while. when i was reading the part after the guy gets rich and hes with that girl i pictured the girls voice as Harley Quinn from the animated batman and that made it fun. i guess its irony he died after making the new contract? or that the boy at the end was kind of like him when he was little, helping people then making the same contract.
Blankets also dealt with god and both mention a pact with god or a spiritual pact. i liked the line quality of the work that the more cartoony than realistic approach more than what will eisner was doing in a contract with god.  Blankets also felt a lot more abstract, art wise, more organic and flow-y, less angular the majority of the time. both also dealt with rejection and rejecting or being rejected from religion. Blankets also switched back and forth a lot between them being young and then teenagers then adults. it was very non-linear but contract with god i thought was very linear.
I like the storytelling of a contract with god more than blankets but i liked reading blankets more visually. blankets for me was just more appealing to look at but it was long and not that interesting. the story of a contract with god was simple and just more interesting to read.
overall i like aspects of both visually and storytelling wise.
