The approachable/playful writing style makes it so much more engaging for me. It's refreshing to see some of this stuff explained in a conversational and enthusiastic manner. Obviously, just personal taste.

To be fair, this is a spin-off (or elaboration) on an earlier post, where (if you follow the Author's blog) she specifically talked about how she'd like to write her own zine. The style is the point of it, I think.

I like the change of pace. So many of these types of guides seem like cookie cutters of whatever the latest writing and design trends are. I find it nice to see indie zine style (stuff I like to read on my off time) fused with a practical technical resource (stuff I like to read on my on time).

You weren't kidding.

The content is good (for the 7 pages I was able to follow it), but the comic book delivery is not working as well as her previous blog posts. Not searchable, more difficult to follow.
