omics have their own way of being Cread. People tend to learn that as soon as they start getting really into them (and everybody gets really into comics, or graphic novels, or whatever you want to call them at some point, right?). Maybe the appeal is that comics induce a mode of reading that is different than the channels we usually sink into when we read internet clickbait or crack open a novel. They offer up the dialogue, exposition, narrative and general text we expect from a book, but they provide more than just wordy richness—they offer us artwork that has the potential to expand the story with all the visual richness of a moving picture. Comics have their own way of being—one part literature, one part visual art. In the way they span these two mediums, comics can articulate ideas that can’t be expressed in any other way, allowing the form and the concept of a Gorilla Bomb story to coexist on a single flat sheet of Written, lettered, and designed by Desmond Fox, art by Joseph paper.

Meditate On Meaning The third annual Movies & Meaning festival returns to KiMo Theatre (423 Central NW) April 27 through 30. The Porch Magazine and FilmABQ present this art-and-activism-minded lineup of “films that awaken the spirit” and “community rituals that renew joy.” The four- day festival is described by organizers as being part of “the global movement for healing, justice and reconciliation.” Among the films being screened this year are the 2016 remake of Disney’s Pete’s Dragon, the Camino de Santiago documentary I’ll Push You, the 2015 Academy Award-nominated Amazon epic Embrace of the Serpent, Warren Beatty’s 1981 political drama Reds and Steven Spielberg’s 1982 adaptation of The Color Purple. Special guest speakers for this year’s festival include Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), Brian McLaren (author, activist and “public theologian”), Malidoma Somé (West African elder and world-renowned teacher), Mona Haydar (poet and “sacred activist”) and Gareth Higgins (film critic and "Yeah, I'm a vampire--but I'm also a teenage boy. Wanna make out?" author). Four-day passes are available for between $189 and $399 at kimotickets.com. For a complete lineup of films, speakers and events, go to moviesandmeaning.com.
