When heroes come home, on the television screen that is,
animation is the most common means to bring them to life. But once in a
while Hollywood has put up the
bucks to outfit actors and actresses as our favorite super-heroes. In this issue Andrew also comes home,
returning to HKC! after a lengthy
absence to join Cole as this two-part exploration of comic characters on screen
concludes.
Together your hosts will examine the long history of live
action comic book adaptations on television.
There are the obvious examples like The
Incredible Hulk or Smallville
mingled with the more obscure, independent comics sourced shows like Witchblade. Add to the mix a variety of made for TV
movies and other hidden gems and there is a whole world of comic book related
television to discuss. And then there
are the super-hero genre shows that take their cues from comics while not being
based on any specific titles. These two
will receive coverage in this issue.
