From David's description:
Do you think that there's only one way to read a comic story? Think again when three of the comic's industry finest talents come together in "THE WRITER'S BLOCK, 2006 Remastered Edition." In this title, comic's greats Peter David (The Incredible Hulk, Spider-man, Star Trek), Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, X-men) and Fabian Nicieza (The New Warriors, X-Men, Valiant), are given the same chapter of comic art to script without knowing anything about a plot or being allowed to speak to one another. The authors let their muses take them (and you) on a unique comics reading experience you won't find anywhere else! Each chapter is accompanied by an interview with the author to discuss how they approached this exercise in comics writing in particular and writing in general. Unlike "how to" books that talk about how to write comics, The Writer's Block shows how masters of the art form write comics. It's like a comic book gameshow where everyone wins!
I love this idea. I'm a big fan of Matt Madden's opposite approach where he took the same script and drew it in 99 different styles. Comics! They're infinitely malleable!
I'm recommending this one especially to people who teach about comics - both the "practical how to make them", and the "theoretical what is a comic?" types of teachers.
