EP: Narrative Research

There is a need for a deeper understanding of narrative if I am to create an exceptional comic book story. To do this I have withdrawn three books from the library;

Will Eisner: Comics and Sequential Art: Principles and Practices from the Legendary Cartoonist

Scott McCloud: Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art

Scott McCloud: Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels

I've browsed Understanding Comics previously and found it very informative, however feel there is much more to learn from it and the other two books.
