This is a project about making an onilne course. We've chosen superhero comics as a global subject, but our course is mostly about representation of social and political issues in superhero comic-books. Some modules of that course are about USA comics history - from 1920-s till nowadays. In this research we've designated two important parts of making a relevant online course - first is the analysis of online-education market: worldwide and in Russia. Second one is about particularities, which are inherent in the russian educational online-platforms.
