Media of Serial Narrative is a strong collection that adds significantly to our understanding of seriality across media. As a whole, the volume both ranges widely across media and time and also tightly coheres around the history of seriality. I believe Media of Serial Narrative will have real impact in the fields of film, television, literature, comics, and games where there is interest in seriality, and I highly recommend it. -Greg Smith, author of Beautiful TV: The Art and Argument of Ally McBeal and Film Structure and the Emotion System
