Graphic novels can have a hard time talking about social justice issues. Here are some reasons why:

• Simple Stories: The important ideas about social justice are often made too simple.
• Market Limits: Publishers may focus more on what sells well rather than important topics.

Even with these challenges, there are ways to improve:

1. More Voices: Including creators from underrepresented groups can make stories feel more real.
2. Deep Thinking: Teachers and readers should think deeply about the hidden messages and ideas in the stories.

By supporting these ideas, graphic novels can become strong tools for talking about social justice.
