It’s not surprising to hear people refer to comics, graphic novels, or manga as genres. It happens often, particularly in conference presentations where a question will inevitably include ‘genre’ as a descriptor. They’re usually referring to the superhero comics they grew up with, or the kids comics that dominate bestseller lists today—not realizing comics is an expansive medium encompassing EVERY genre.
