May 26: WOMEN IN COMICS – Creators and Characters

June 23: RetCons and ReBoots – great and awful examples of comicbook narrative logic, and re-starts that you wish were left in the idea bin, or re-starts that you got you excited about a book! (think “One More Day” or “Daredevil” w the Marvel Knights imprint, for example!)

July 28: Diversity in Comicbooks – Creators and Characters

Aug 25: Favorite Examples of Comicbook-Science (science that makes sense in the comics, but probably not in the “real world”… unstable molecules, boom-tubes….)

Sept 22: Some Other Companies’ Books (bring in your favorite non-Marvel, non-DC books – extra points for non-superhero, too) and Banned Comicbooks (check out CBLDF).

Sept 29: Also, as it IS “Banned Books Week” (Sept 27-Oct 3, 2o15), and the WI ACLU has been a consistent supporter of MKE Comicbook, you should know about their Banned Books Celebration at the Riverwest Public House on Sept 29!

Oct 27: CULL YOUR COLLECTION SALE to benefit CBLDF! Cheap comics, good and new friends, and plenty of geekitude to go around! Here’s what last year’s sale looked like!
