RaveThe Comics JournalThe landscape and the \'set\' where all this unfolds...moved me a great deal ... I appreciate the way Ware is using the center of the page and sometimes the spread to focus the eye ... because of the assembly of Building Stories, the contrasting use of the center in each format really came through. The \'all at once\' reading of the spread feels more approachable within the framework of the whole ... What struck me though about Building Stories was how the collection of pamphlets and papers and books reinforced this \'random\' or \'personal choice\' reading style often on the page itself. I guess I\'m trying to say that it felt liberating ... It\'s a stunning work. A masterpiece of the highest order—like a cathedral—but made by one builder.
