Panel Discussion: A Conversation with David Hine.

Comics have gone mainstream. They are no longer just the private concerns of geeks and dweebs. They have mass appeal.

How do the geeks feel about their secret passion being claimed by the masses? Umapagan Ampikaipakan speaks to British writer and artist David Hine (X-Men, Spider-Man Noir, Daredevil, and The Bulletproof Coffin) about this new world in which comics teeter between high art and literary fiction.
