This spring, our Graphic Novel Club turns toward history, resistance, and one of the most essential works in modern comics.

For our next meeting, we’ll be discussing March: Omnibus, the complete collected edition of the groundbreaking graphic memoir that brings the Civil Rights Movement to vivid life. Told through the life and experience of Congressman John Lewis, and created with Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell, March stands as one of the defining graphic works of the modern era: urgent, humane, and powerful in a way that only grows sharper with time.

We’ll be meeting on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at 7PM at Revenge Of to talk about the full story collected in March, the history it carries, the courage it documents, and the way comics can preserve lived experience with intimacy, clarity, and force.

March is the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling graphic memoir that chronicles the life and work of Congressman John Lewis, one of the central figures of the Civil Rights Movement.

From an Alabama sharecropper’s farm to the halls of Congress, Lewis’ lifelong commitment to justice and nonviolence placed him at the heart of some of the most defining moments in American history, from segregated classrooms and lunch-counter sit-ins to the 1963 March on Washington, and from brutal beatings by state troopers to receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Created with co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell, and inspired in part by the 1950s comic that helped prepare young activists of Lewis’ generation for action, March became a landmark work of graphic memoir: a perennial bestseller, a classroom staple, and the first comic to win the National Book Award.

It is a first-hand account of a lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, rooted in Lewis’ personal story while also reflecting the broader Civil Rights Movement, including its sacrifices, strategies, setbacks, triumphs, and the revolutionary power of nonviolence.

For this meeting, we’ll be discussing the full story, either through the omnibus or by reading all three individual volumes together.
