NOTE: Schedule Change--Paper due on Friday; Superheroes/Comics Discussion on Wed

I changed the schedule slightly to give everyone an extra class day to work on their Short Paper #1 assignment (see post below this one). So for Wednesday, just come to class and I'll discuss the history of comics and why superheroes have become one of our most potent modern metaphors. This will prepare us for our next book, Ms. Marvel, which we'll start discussing on Monday. If you don't have it yet, there are copies in the bookstore. We're not done with the Best American SF/F book yet--we'll return to it in a few weeks. 

Let me know if you have any questions about your paper! Good luck!
