This list is basically list of the adaptation and convergence culture theory that is applicable specifically to comic book materials. A lot of the list touches on the cultural impact these comics have, others deal with the theories of adaptation and process in comic books. Convergence culture and adaptation studies are a big crossover area. I am interested in the way fans interact with comic books, and some of the choices are meant t reflect the audience participation side of things. This part is also covered by both adaptation studies and convergence culture.
