genre X discussion

June's discussion will focus on Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.

Everyone is also encouraged to choose a graphic novel to read on their own and share with the group. Not sure what to choose? Post here to ask for suggestions, and keep an eye on genre-x.com, where we'll post some suggestions.

Here's a story about a guy who just created a comic book for the blind: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-5...
