I like Scott McCloud too, and he’s an appropriate enough pick for the comic, but good lord is it boring! I got bored to the point that I was just hitting “next” to see how many more pages there were, and even THAT got boring. UNDERSTANDING COMICS is an excellent read. Not so with CHROME COMIX.
Also, as a friend pointed out, it’s pretty bold of them to call it the open source browser project, given Firefox’s traditional claim to that title.

Huh… I liked it a lot, but then again I am a programmer and web developer.
I admit that it is a lot less exciting and explorative than most of McCloud’s work, but the Chrome Browser and its underworkings are supposed to be star of the show.
All in all, I found it a refreshing take on the normal bulleted white-paper that most new web projects come out with.

I don’t argue with the innovation of the approach. Maybe there’s just no way to make Google interesting to me.
