adrian tomine! anything by him. and marvel just did a series where black panther and some other african-american heroes fight crime in new orleans post-katrina. i don't know if it's any good or not, but that's something if you want more traditional comics too.
I would totally take your class I would also like to humbly suggest... The Cute Manifesto (can't remember the name...) and I Never Liked You, Chester Brown (which I think is by chester brown... it's an interesting one and I think the same artist did one about falling in love with an octopus that lived in a swimming pool, but I don't remember the name of that one)
I'd take your class too, but only so I could hum the Van Halen song about being hot for teacher during it. I'm taking a PSY class for that same reason (the prof is weirdly hot), and it's turned out to be a terrible decision.
I miss you and Jay and the overall presence of friendly queer people here. Sigh.
But my section is going to be centered on graphic novels. I was going to teach Persepolis, but then I was being pushed into teaching all middle east stuff and that wasn't the direction I wanted.
We're teaching a book on how to read comics (because we have to talk about "reading processes"). And we're teaching the Chris Ware edition of McSweeny's.
And there will be quite a few things I scan and put online.
In an effort to circumvent the disgusting fake intellectual aspect of this school, both of us are using traditional comics (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) as our main texts. Take that, MU!
In regards to "disgusting fake intellectual aspect"s: UGH! I HATE ELITISM! Don't they know that in approximately 57 years they'll all be dead and nobody will even care?! Christ.
Yeah. Elitism runs rampant here at Miami. The Miami Legacy. If two Miami grads marry, they are called a "Miami merger" and they get anniversary gifts each year from the schools.

I'll definitely look into Black Panther stuff...are there other good Black Panther collections you'd recommend?

Yes. I miss you and Kyle too, mostly because we were sort of just getting to know each other in a social-not-livejournal way.

No not really.

The Invisibles
Preacher
The Killing Joke
Wildcats 3.0, because it's about superhero as corporation
I mean, pick one of those. Because you already have Jimmy Corrigan.
Wait, no. Get Planetary. Just Planetary. As far as traditional comics go.
