At Panel Patter, Rob McMonigal has an in-depth rundown of our SPX debuts! Check out little capsule reviews of all of our Fall 2017 titles right here!
At Panel Patter, we’ve looked at all three volumes of Rep. John Lewis’s MARCH over the last couple of years. This is from my review of MARCH BOOK THREE.
While the march from Selma is central to this series, March Book 3 really caps off an approximately four-year struggle that is about people simply being treated as people. On one hand, it sounds all too obvious to us in 2016 but then when we watch the news, it’s easy to see the story of John Lewis as the lessons of the past that we still need to have pounded into our heads. In the end of March Book 3, the 1965 Voting Rights Act was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It’s a victory in the book but not an end to the struggles illustrated in this series. Looking back on the march to Selma, Lewis writes, “I wish I could say that the violence, the threats, the murders all topped after Dr. King spoke. None of it stopped.” Even after the march, a woman from Detroit was shot while driving volunteers back to Selma from Birmingham. The book starts describing the death of innocent people and near the end, it continues with one more killing of a person who was only trying to help other people get their rights as American citizens.

At Panel Patter, we’ve looked at all three volumes of Rep. John Lewis’s MARCH over the last couple of years. This is from my review of MARCH BOOK TWO.
March Book Two isn’t a history lesson. More importantly, it’s not penance or absolution for anyone. This book is a mirror using the early 1960s to show us an honest reflection of the struggles for all men be treated like they are created equal.

At Panel Patter, we’ve looked at all three volumes of Rep. John Lewis’s MARCH over the last couple of yearss. This is from Rob McMonigal’s look at MARCH BOOK 1.
As anyone who follows the news knows, the Civil Rights Movement is far from over. The rights of people of color are being challenged daily, as are those of women and the queer community. We need to remember that only through struggle and staying vocal and prepared can we win the humanity and dignity that can so easily be taken away frrom us by those in power. March is a book that puts that fact squarely in our faces.
