The Glasgow University Comic Reading Group talk about what they have read this week while also having an academic discussion.
This week @domwithalyttled interview @Kalervideo about their PhD research in comics and transmedia. They talk about how comics work outside of the book, about the role of the author in the corporate world of video games and the commodification of Fandom across almost every type of merchandise.
