Dear Mythologists,
On Friday, November 1, we'll continue our transition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe by considering, among other things, the origins of so-called comic book movies.
Please do the following:
(1) Read "Genre," chapter 1 of Blair Davis' Comic Book Movies (2018), which is part of the Rutgers Quick Takes series on films and popular culture. It's a breezy introduction to the vast terrain in which comic book movies exist.
Please print out the chapter and bring it to class (no laptops). As you peruse it, note which aspects of Davis' discussion do, and do not, apply to the MCU.
