Multiple Pros Answer: What's Your Opinion Of The Term "Graphic Novel"?

Right here -- this should be as widely linked-to as any stand-alone article this week. I don't have a dog in this fight: I think it's a useful term for describing a general format, and increasingly irrelevant for describing a certain sensibility of or ambition for comics. This year doing a "graphic novel" panel at Comic-Con was the first time I had no pre-nervousness about the term being difficult or unaccepted or hard to figure out or worth spending time debating, and it only rattled around a bit for one question within the panel itself. Anyway, there's that. That Neil Gaiman answer is funny, too.
