Library Word of the Week... Onomatopoeia

With Avengers: Age of Ultron out today (which Ms. D saw yesterday and if you are a fan of Avengers, go see it, it is amazing), the Library Word of the Week is a word that is very important in comics: 

Onomatopoeia 

on·o·mat·o·poe·ia
ˌänəˌmadəˈpēə,ˌänəˌmädəˈpēə/
noun
  1. the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (e.g., cuckoo,sizzle ).
  2.      the use of onomatopoeia for rhetorical effect.












So if you are creating your own comics, don't forget the benefits of onomatopoeia to portray sounds! Check out THIS LINK for more information. 

Also, remember, when you use foul language, you make Captain America unhappy...
