Medium/Genre, Genre/Medium
So, is science fiction a medium or a genre? From a Telegraph article by the confusing Tim Martin:
"Like science fiction, this is a medium with its roots in pulp and the alternative: for every scholar who attempts to trace the history of sequential art back to pre-Columbian parchment or the Bayeux Tapestry, there will be 50 diehards who claim it all started with Superman."
and
"The central misconception around comics is the idea that they're a genre, not a medium. "
