Comics and graphic novels have come into their own as subjects worthy of—indeed, demanding—attention from academia. Historians and cultural theorists teach courses, hold conferences, and publish books on various aspects of sequential art. Colleges and universities teach courses in comics as literature and social history as well as how to make them. Here, to give an overview of various ideas about and approaches to comics studies (and to answer the question “Why teach BATMAN in college?”) is a cross-section of comics scholars and teachers, including: Jackson Ayres (Texas A&M University), Sam Cannon (University of Texas at Austin), Andrew Friedenthal (St. Edward’s University), and Aaron Delwiche (Trinity University). The panel is moderated by Derek Parker Royal (The Comics Alternative).  This panel was recorded as a podcast and is available now at http://comicsalternative.com/on-location-academia/

#WWAustinCC – Katie Cassidy

Katie Cassidy ArrowThere were a LOT of wonderful panels Oct 2- 4 at the Austin Wizard World Comic Con at the Austin Convention Center.

A joint podcast with John Mayo, of ComicBookPage, will be going up soon with a two hour discussion of the countless wonderful moments.  During those two hours we discussed the Katie Cassidy panel, in which Katie not only showed off her biceps, but mentioned that as a former gymnast… well… I’ll let her tell you herself:


Arrow fans, can you picture it? Laurel on the Salmon Ladder? Yes, Season 3 could have a very different arc for Laurel Lance than we saw in Season 2, which ended with her “getting the jacket” as was joked during the panel on Saturday.

Katie Cassidy ArrowTake a moment to watch the video — then share it with your fellow Arrow fans!  Who knows, if the show will bring back the line “You Failed This City!” because it resonated with the fans, maybe we can encourage them to get Katie up on that Salmon Ladder and showing the world that Ollie isn’t the only one in Starling City who fights crime and does whatever it takes to fight for what is right.

Season 3 of Arrow Premieres on the CW October 8 at 8 PM / 7 PM Central.

If you have not already had a chance, check out the joint podcasts with John Mayo, of ComicBookPage, about Season 1 of Arrow, and Season 2 of Arrow.  (Our Season 2 podcast included a discussion about Laurel’s story arc with substance abuse and whether or not that was something that had been seen for her character in the comics, as well as whether or not that was a story arc we had seen coming for her character in particular.)
