Five paragraph essay

The Witch and The Wolverine are two interesting comic books that have many similarities and many differences. The violent action in both novels portrays a good imaginary picture of how a teenager and a grown man use two different types of powers to protect themselves and the ones they love. The way both authors use color to show the mood of the scene help figure out what might happen next and how much blood is being drawn. The shadows drawn on each character shows the journey the characters are both going through, the journeys are full of both main characters getting attacked by villains. Also the panels help you see exactly when an important event is happening, or the best part of the comic books.


The Witch portrays much violence and shows a new side to witches and how their world and how their powers work. The way the author constructs the panels for Witch is truly cool, The panels are able to show how Kailey's familiar Riley talks to her inside of her head. Also she gets a double sided panel because she is two different people at one time, she just doesn't realize it until she unleashes her inner black cat. The Wolverine is able to show that although he speaks about himself as a guy who has no mercy when it comes down to the woman he loves he will do anything to try and protect her. Although in both these novels the main characters try to do good in other peoples eyes they are not normal. The difference in both novels would be how their journeys begin and how they end. In Kailey's journey she begins not knowing who she really is and as the novel progresses she finds out shes a witch. In one of the panels the author shows how Kailey wakes up telling herself it was only a nightmare and shes in the brightness of her kitchen and all of a sudden a dark shadow steps in front of her and all Kailey does is looks in a very shocked manner. The panel for wolverine shows when wolverine first comes to encounter Mariko and her husband walks in and with out mercy wolverine claws come out and hes ready to attack him. The author makes this panel larger than the rest to show how much of a fighter wolverine is.

The author for Witch shows a great variety of color to show feelings, action, and big moments. For example in one of the panels Kailey is going back home with her friend, and her friend is drunk and Kailey goes ahead and looks at a guy and a girl arguing the guys is about to attack the girl and Kailey steps in and goes and tells the guy to stop. At that moment the whole alley turns pitch black. The only thing your able to see is Kailey on the floor and the guy ready to hit her. The fact that the whole room turns a dark color represents that something bad is going to happen at the moment. In addition in one scene the sun is rising and Kailey is sitting outside watching it thinking, and the surrounding gets very bright almost as though something positive was about to happen.  The author uses a yellowish orangeish color to go ahead and be over Kailey's body which make Kailey smile and you know her smiling is a good thing. In the wolverine the wolverine is in a dark alley and all of a sudden a bunch of guys come, with out hesitating the wolverine attacks and the author changes the whole room black. The only white you see is the dead guys bodies. The colors do help me figure out when a good or bad thing is going to happen.

Shadows in comic books are very common. The way Riley is drawn as Kaileys shadows
