seen comics studies blossom, but within the ecosystems of this
growth, dominant assumptions have taken root - assumptions around
the particular methods used to approach the comics form, the ways
we should read comics, how its ""system"" works, and the
disciplinary relationships that surround this evolving area of
study. But other perspectives have also begun to flourish. These
approaches question the reliance on structural linguistics and the
tools of English and cultural studies in the examination and
understanding of comics. In this edited collection, scholars from a
variety of disciplines examine comics by addressing materiality and
form as well as the wider economic and political contexts of
comics' creation and reception. Through this lens, influenced by
poststructuralist theories, contributors explore and elaborate
other possibilities for working with comics as a critical resource,
consolidating the emergence of these alternative modes of
engagement in a single text. This opens comics studies to a wider
array of resources, perspectives, and modes of engagement. Included
in this volume are essays on a range of comics and illustrations as
well as considerations of such popular comics as Deadpool,
Daredevil, and V for Vendetta, and analyses of comics production,
medical illustrations, and original comics. Some contributions even
unfold in the form of comics panels.
