Buy the books. Understanding comics is just plain interesting. A good story, well told. Haven't read the follow-ups. Guys like McCloud break open the perception of what graphic storytelling can look like. More money to him = a good thing in my book.
Reinventing Comics is just about as awesome.
Making Comics is good, but only if you're interested in, you know, making comics. The others are fun and enlightening for most anyone who reads comics.

I want to read a zomplet run of Zot!
Shoot... the entire run of Comico books would be great.
(I miss the black and white independent comics fad of the 80's. Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters? Anybody?)

The comics were good to me because they explained why Chrome should be exciting, as opposed to just being told "Chrome is fast."
Having the priorites behind the project (improving the general body of freely available libraries for future browsers, encouraging sandboxed processes for each separate tab, etc.) makes it seem far more significant than just a new, fast browser. (If I want a fast browser, I use w3m or dillo. That's not the point.)
A comicbook? Maybe Joel Silver, film producer, will make it into his next movie...
There's a sequel to the McCloud book, too. Don't remember the name, but it was good, too.
There are two sequels, Reinventing Comics and Making Comics.
