22 Pages

22 Pages George Campus, 22 Pages. Topics can range anywhere from your favourite comic creators to who can win in a fight between your favourite superheroes.

Comic books, graphic novels, sequential art, modern day cave paintings - whatever you like to call them, the comic book as a medium has influenced many facets of pop culture, from movies to fashion to video games to celebrity kids' names and now to a group at the University of Toronto St. With 22 Pages, members of the University of Toronto can now congregate in person or online to discuss topics r

elevant to the comic book medium. This year, 22 Pages will also be a group that will involve itself in charities and other organisations. There are many real-world situations – both good and bad – placed in the comic book universe and it is important that we recognize that a lot of us are more fortunate than others whether it be being able to afford going to school or being in good health. However, like the many years that came before, 22 Pages will also be a network. If you’re an artist, join up to find a writer; if you’re a writer, join up to find an artist; if you can do both, feel free to critique members’ works. Networking is key and it is our hope that everyone will find something relevant to their interests. In addition, brownie points will be awarded to members who can explain the significance of the name “22 Pages."

"I was the only black person on set. Every move I made was tantamount to the representation of 18 million people." Fearless and groundbreaking legend of the screen, Sidney Poitier, reflects on the simultaneous honour and burden of his trailblazing position in Hollywood.

Happy 90th birthday, sir ✊🏾🎂

Scarlett Johansson: cancelled.

More excited about leading her own franchise (as if Ghost in the Shell will be popular) than understanding that this anime is specifically Japanese and not one that can simply be changed because the director and the actors want to make it more universal.

A lot of stuff has been going on in America, from to Trump's election to the ... There are no words to explain how grateful I am as a Canadian for the Obamas. They were wonderful and I will miss them.

Today is world su***de prevention day. Almost all of personally know someone - or know someone who knows someone - who has committed su***de. I am myself am no stranger to this.

There is no best way to 'prevent' someone from committing su***de because mental illness is not a universal disease, there is no single way to diagnose someone who is depressed or who suffers from PTSD. All we can do is support them by creating spaces that do not demonize or stereotype them.

We here at 22 Pages want to expose you to 'darker' situations involving some of our favourite superheroes in not-so super situations because most of them are human after all.

Here is [yet another, but shorter] list of comic books that focus on mental illness:

-Alison Bechdel - Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
-Allie Brosh - Hyperbole and a Half
-Darryl Cunningham - Psychiatric Tales (Expanded Edition)
-Glyn Dillon - The Nao Of Brown
-Ellen Forney - Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me
-Hannah Bradshaw - Dark Early
-Katie Green 0 Lighter Than My Shadow
-John Porcellino - The Hospital Suite
-Nadia Shivak - Inside Out: Portrait of an Eating Disorder
-David B. - Epileptic
-Sarafin - Asylum Squad Side Story: The Psychosis Diaries
-Ryan Dow - Pretending You're Not Crazy
-Adam Bourret - I'm Crazy
-John Ramita, Jr., Bob Layton, and Carmine Infantino - Demon in a Bottle
-Mark Waid - Daredevil (2011-2014)
-Samuel C. Williams - At War with Yourself
