I chose this article because I really never seen a comic
that has the characters using sign language to communicate. Honestly, I just
thought it was cool. I’ve never been a big comic book reader but I do like
reading manga and it’s the first time I’ve seen sign language in one of them. This
article is about how one of the member of Marvel’s Avengers comics the main character
is using sign language to communicate because he has severe ear damage. In the issue No. 19 “Hawkeye” is the character
who must cope with his ear damage because of the aftereffects of a battle. Throughout
this story you’ll see blank balloons when “Hawkeye” can’t hear because the creators
wanted to give a taste to readers on what it would be like to be deaf. I think
this is very important because you never know if one day you’ll get into an
accident that might leave you deaf or unable to speak. If this does happen, you’ll
have to find and learn another way to communicate with people. I also think
that the artist David Aja did an amazing job drawing the signs in such a clear
way, it must have been difficult. Overall, it was a pretty interesting article,
check it out!
Wow! This is really interesting, is the first time I heard they have done a manga with sign language. It is really true the point of view you share with us. I hope they come up with more manga using Sign language.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting. I never heard about Hawkeye going deaf. But if you like this type of thing in manga, you should read Gangsta. the main character, Nicolas, is deaf and uses sign language to communicate with his friend Warick.
ReplyDeleteAnyway that article is really interesting. I loved it and this post is just nerdtastic and that makes it great. Keep up the good work
