1:34:48- Main Topic:
What Can Comics and Comic Book Films Learn From Each other?
Comic book films may be all the rage these days, but while they've been around for decades, they haven't always been very good, and some of that has to do with not learning lessons from the source material. Meanwhile, some might argue that the film adaptions tell comic book stories better than the books do! We discuss what comics, particularly the big two, can learn from the way their characters are used on film, and what the films can (and should) take from the books to keep fans enthralled.
The Comics Pals is a weekly comic book podcast where a group of comic book journalists and friends get together to talk comics.
