  1. So, did this “experiment,” start when two people some how thought they were doing the same story?

    (Still, this is a cool thing. There should be more dueling reveiwers.)

    Pretty much.

    Do you really think I should give reviewers swords? That sounds dangerous.

    I was kind of hoping it’d lead to some discussion of what people like to see in reviews and what they hate…

  3. A big difference is that Andrew does a great job of looking at Chaloner’s treatment of John Law in the greater context of Will Eisner’s work on the Spirit and other characters. I have only read a scattering of Eisner’s work and so could look at Chaloner’s John Law only in the context of what I read on my computer screen.

  4. I like to see reveiwers with swords being used in reveiws.
    But in seriousness, I found both the reveiws interesting and engaging, Xaviar Xerexes more so because of the deeper analysis. However, I found Gary Chaloner’s reveiw to be more helpful at first as it had the broader and (slightly,) lighter tone. So, they were both good. I like hyperlinking used as in text referencing, it’s definitly one of the best features about online essays. In non electronic essays I perfer the Horrocksian method, so I was also impressed by Xerexes use of images as well as hyperlinking.

    So, yeah, maybe give the reveiwers pistols?
