Ware in the NYT

Chris Ware’s “Building Stories” serialization in the NYT magazine has so far not blown me away. I love the idea of a once a week Sunday comic page (ilke the old strips I’ve been reading), but Ware seems to be treading water for the most part with his work.
This week’s episode does impress with the way he uses color-coded thought balloons to tell multiple narratives in the same panel. It is an interesting formal element in an otherwise predictable story.
