Text

 The X-Men comic books are very text heavy. On certain pages the text is half or more than half of the panel. There are multiple conversations happening at once; it can be slightly overwhelming when trying to follow the flow of the story and conversation. Although it is text heavy, it’s nice to see a progression in dialogue. There is more communication between the characters and through their communication we can see their personality, attitude and motivation unfold. In particular how the words and sentences are formed and spelled; providing a voice for the character. Throughout the story you can see a variation and rhythm in the tone and purpose of the text. The text creates conflicts and tension between the characters. The conversation shared between the characters keeps the readers on their toes just as the illustrations do with the actions.
