The name of this weblog takes its inspiration from the book "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. In that book, McCloud takes pains to come up with a definition for comic books broad enough to embrace all the different types of work done in that genre, but narrow enough to exclude related art forms, such as animation.
Although this weblog will definitely cover comic books, I intend to open up the definition of "sequential arts" to include many types of media, including hypertext, animated game sequences, print graphics, environmental design, commercial art--in short, anywhere I find "sequence" at play.
