Excerpt: Working on this project, we have learned that Indigenous comics and graphic novels matter for the same reasons, that Indigenous characters can be just as brave, resilient, complex, messy, smart, and funny as any other comic book heroes. And we have also learned that a popular form like comics can make those “zombies, vampires, and ungentled ghosts” of settler colonialism come alive in the most literal of ways, along with the superheroes, guardians, and tricksters needed to fight and survive them.
