    In the early 2000s, the Society for Cinema Studies officially changed its name to the Society for Cinema and Media Studies as a means of acknowledging both the proliferation of different forms of media (including television and video games) and, along with it, the breadth of subject matter researched by its members. Comic books, graphic novels and, more generally, graphic narratives (which includes comic books, graphic novels, manga, sequential art, etc.) have not been excluded in the pages of Cinema Journal nor at our annual conferences. For instance, panels at the previous SCMS conferences in both Chicago and Los Angeles have addressed the relationship between film, television, and comics, be it focused on stylistic patterns or industrial practices.
