So, as you may have read by now, MSCSI was created by scholars and fans of comic books that were frustrated by the one-note representations of women they encountered.

There is a new online course studying exactly this subject, if you interested, and you can sign up for it here: www.canvas.net/courses/gender-through-comic-books

You can talk to big names in the comics industry, study at college-level, interact online with fellow students, and it's all absolutely free.

I'll see you in class

I have no idea where I'd find the time to do it though. You going to keep us updated while you're taking it (if you can)?

I've seen this around and about and am seriously tempted--but does anyone here have any sense of what the cost outlay with regards to course materials is going to look like? My library access is pretty mediocre at present, so I'm hoping for not having to buy a bunch of TPBs or the like. Admittedly, my husband and I do have a bunch of things that could be on the reading list, but I cannae be certain.
