Week #15 Reader Response
Last blog post...
In our reserve reading for this week's class, "Epilogue: The Death of Superman, or, Must there be a Comic Book Industry", Wright talks about the supposed "death" of the comic books industry. He talks about this death from the perspective (beginning in 1992) of 2001, but how about 2006? Is there a meaningful place for comic books in American culture and young lives? How can comic books compete with other media for attention? What do you think as young people -- how has (or maybe they have not) influenced your life?
Secondly, what comic book or graphic novel grabbed your attention this semester and why? How did it change or reinforce your ideas of literature or culture?
See you all at our last class on Wednesday!
