Hi, I'm the professor for this course!

I teach courses primarily in Philosophy of Science and Technology and History of Philosophy here at UT Dallas.

I started reading comics somewhere around 1990 (plus or minus two years). I was originally interested primarily in superhero comics, especially Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. The Death of Superman was an important event in my comics-reading career. 

Some of my favorite comics today include:

• Batman: RIP
• All-Star Superman 
• The Dark Knight Returns
• Superman: Red Son 
• The Nightly News
• Scott Pilgrim
• Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.
• Runaways
• Golden Age Wonder Woman
• The Question (O'Neil-Cowan version)
• Jim Ottaviani's science comics
• Action Philosophers
• Watchmen

Lately I've been reading Gail Simone's Batgirl, Scott Snyder's Batman, and the new Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
