Comics aren't just for kids anymore – many a grown-up has amassed collections of comic strips, DC and Marvel superhero classics, or underground comix. Some attend conventions only to spend hours in bookstores and on eBay bidding on a missing back issue.
From fresh takes on iconic superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man, to perspective on international genres like Bandes Dessinées and Manga, you'll find it here. There's overviews of genres for every age group, from adult comics to comics for kids. If you're looking for something a little different, you can peruse alternative graphic novel reviews, and read up on ideas about comic book theory and comics' place in fan culture.
And don't forget to check out the Comics Blog for discussions about upcoming articles and other comics news.
