ABOUT THIS PANEL
When we hearken back to the golden and silver ages of comics, we see stories which portray the world as a place where superheroes are revered as the saviors of humankind. As the stories grew more complex, some writers began exploring what it might be like if the real world saw the dawn of super powered beings who are morally weak and corrupt. Classic stories featuring characters like Superman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and Captain America gave us heroes with unflinching dedication to truth and justice while books like Watchmen, The Boys, Kick Ass, and others overlayed a gritty realism onto the shine of those classic hero stories. Which concept holds more water?
Would a world with super beings be a paradise or an inferno? This panel of scholars and writers will unpack some of these ideas and offer complex analysis of the idea of whether we would be better off with or without super powered people.

What makes this channel special?
You may ask yourself, "What makes Chicago Sci-Fi special?" I pride myself on the fact that I try to give fans videos with explanation for each segment interview, rather than just throw up the video "as is" "to be first"; I don't plaster logos all over the video to share or watermark.
I also will post more obscure interviews from Producers, Special Effects Supervisors and Costume Designers! They deserve their 15 seconds of fame as well. (And it's kinda fun to listen to them as well!)
