The link between genre and themes in graphic novels can be tricky. Here are some reasons why:

1. Understanding Can Be Hard:

   • Different genres might make themes too simple or even wrong. This can lead to misunderstandings.

2. Genres Can Be Restrictive:

   • Genres often set rules that can limit how deeply themes are explored.

3. Quality Can Vary:

   • Not every graphic novel in a genre does a good job of showing its themes, which can be confusing.

To help solve these problems, experts should:

• Work together with different fields of study.
• Support stories that mix different ideas within genres.
• Encourage conversations about the deeper meanings in all kinds of graphic novels.
