Richard A. Becker (CSU Northridge) asserts that there is a crisis of confidence in comic book adaptations and explores why the people who make comic books and the people who make movies don't believe in the superhero myth. Jared Gardner (Ohio State University) explores the unexamined connections—historical and theoretical—between the rise of comics and the development of film at the turn of the 20th century and how these art forms worked to break the experience of modernity down into segments that could be repeatedly viewed, analyzed, and engaged. Ariel Schudson (UCLA) explores the tension between the strategies of translation versus adaptation by examining the film versions of Sin City and Hellboy.
