Journal of Graphic Novels & Comics: "The Journal of Graphic Novel and Comics is a peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the graphic novel, comic strip and comic book, with the emphasis on comics in their cultural, institutional and creative contexts. Its scope is interdisciplinary and international, covering not only English language comics but also worldwide comic culture. The journal reflects interdisciplinary research in comics and aims to establish a dialogue between academics, historians, theoreticians and practitioners of comics. It therefore examines comics production and consumption within the contexts of culture: art, cinema, television and new media technologies.
The journal will include all forms of 'sequential imagery' including precursors of the comic but in the main emphasis will be on twentieth and twenty-first century examples, reflecting the increasing interest in the modern forms of the comic, its production and cultural consumption."

Wow, $45 for two on-line issues a year. Seems steep, and there's nothing to see yet to gauge it's content or value. If I were still reading this sort of thing, I'd stick with Wizard, though that's for fans and this new one would seem to be for "intellectuals".
The first priority of publishers of academic journals is libraries, and unfortunately, they are usually priced accordingly. You can often find discounts on subscriptions at conferences and the like. Please support scholarly inquiry with your subscription. You can count on that, if it's just two issues per year, it will be two fat issues.
