Abstract
The conclusion discusses the findings of the book with regard to the place of comics in contemporary documentary media culture and also offers a short outlook on current trends in documentary comics. As an emerging documentary phenomenon and a new visual language, comics enables authors to reframe the stagnating discourse of the mainstream media and interrogate its medial ideologies and truth claims. In its more enduring materiality, it presents a counterapproach to digital media, which sets the limitation of single authorship and personal accountability against the vast availability of constantly developing information online.

Josh Neufeld’s A.D. poses the obvious exception here, as it deals with a domestic catastrophe. However, the fact remains that Neufeld, a White man, sought to represent the experiences of cultural others, especially Denise, a Black woman.
