Thoughts on canons
Great quote on the value of a canon:
This is where canon formation can be helpful. A loosely defined canon helps suggest not only what texts we regard as essential but also what we expect of the medium. A canon tells us about both the medium and ourselves. And with more readers expressing curiosity about comics and more teachers working comics into their curricula, a bit of low-key canon formation can be quite useful.
