June Discussion: Understanding Comics + choose your own!

[Rebecca]

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.
