Comics

Comics have evolved far beyond colorful panels and speech bubbles into a rich cultural force that shapes how we think about heroism, society, and human nature. This genre spans everything from philosophical explorations of beloved characters to behind-the-scenes insights into the comic industry, creative techniques, and the real-world science behind our favorite superhero stories.
