Join us as we talk to Dr. Kimberly Voll, the co-founder of The Fair Play Alliance and an experienced member of the gaming community as we look at how video games can be used as learning tools! Dr. Kimberly Voll Comic Books and Superheroes Posted on April 10, 2020 at 12:42 pm. Comic books started out as simple and admittedly silly stories for kids and teens to read and be entertained by. However, in present day, comics have grown to be a worldwide sensation, with several superhero movies topping lists for the best selling movies of all time. In the 70 or so years that comics as we know them have existed, time and human history have consistently altered the genre. The tone of a comic will differ depending on the decade it was written in. With superheroes being as inescapable as they are, we have to ask ourselves: How large of an impact have comics had on our society? How has the perception of these heroes changed over time to the world? Join Joseph Alonso and Julia Macmillan as they explore these questions in more detail.
