Spider-Man, and other comics),

will look at today’s writing scene where books seem old
fashioned, new media doesn’t pay (e.g. tv and movie writer’s strike in the US),
copyright is up for grabs, and writers who used to produce text only are now
expected to include visuals, animate them, and/or figure out how to use
techniques suitable for graphic novels, wikis, games, machinima, 2nd
Life, and more.
