I really liked the way he had short comics at the end of the chapters with an explanation of his techniques and artistic choices. I think that was some of the most interesting material in the whole book--it's rare that people are able to pinpoint exactly why they make the artistic choices they do, or what their significance is to the work as a whole. It was fun to see him "at work".

Manga's influence on comics right now...it's like a tidal wave. I'm curious if there will be a backlash anytime soon, but I don't think it's going to happen. So many young readers are growing up with manga instead of comic books now. I think in 20 years or so, the face of comic books will be quite different.
