The Graphic Novel

Are you a fan of comic books or movies? Sci-fi or Manga? Are you a history buff? Conspiracy theorist?  Examiner of sociopolitical dynamics?  Doomsayer?  Are you an artist, a writer, a journalist, or a graphic designer? Are you interested in the most hyped literary genre of the past 15 years?

Comics have found their way into our legends and myths, our movies and our videogames.  Everyone and their grandmother knows who Superman and Batman are.  Then why doesn't the literary world view comics and their "literary" brethren, graphic novels, as literature?  Join our discussion of graphic novels and decide if they are literature and if they do inform our contemporary experience.
