CAT EYE: POINT OF VIEW AND COMICS

Who's telling the story? Every word and every image in every comic reinforces a particular POV.  From the classic editorial voice of Stan Lee to the confessional memoirs of Alison Bechdel.  Comic occupy a unique space, reinforcing - panel-by-panel - a particular way of seeing.  Why is POV so rarely discussed in relationship to comics?  Join the creative team behind the Eisner-nominated comic book series MAN-EATERS to discuss how they use POV to subvert expectations and troll the patriarchy.  Trigger warning: Because this is a late night panel, there will be glow sticks.  Panel members include NYT best-selling author Chelsea Cain (Mockingbird, Man-eaters, plus a bunch of internationally best selling unillustrated murder-y thrillers), Lia Miternique (Man-eaters co-creator, cover artist), Eliza Fantastic Mohan (Man-eaters contributing writer), and Emily Powell (Man-eaters haiku writer-in-residence).
