If you’ve read comics for any length of time, chances are you have heard the phrase Golden Age or Silver Age. These phrases can apply to any medium, but in comics they are very specific eras; the one thing they all have in common is they involve superheroes, and each age saw the debut of countless new character additions to comics. Today the panel takes a look at each of the separate ages of comics and the heroes that came during that period.

Today, there is a trend of some half-dozen comic book movies released each year, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. What it indicates is that right now we truly are in the golden age of comics being adapted into movies. Many of these films are quality movies, but the thing with some comic movies is that sometimes they aren’t always up to par compared to their source material or even other contemporary comic book films. But, even if some movies are not the greatest as a whole, there can still be moments of brilliance in them. That’s what the panel focuses on today, the best aspects or moments from some so-so comic book movies.

Sometimes when watching a movie or show, the story that’s told just isn’t enough. Even after the credits roll, sometimes the audience wants more. Sequels and prequels are not the only ways though. More can come in other forms. That's where spin offs come in; a way to pursue and explore other stories in the same world, but through a new lens -- a different point of view. Today, the panel is going to explore spin offs and the many shapes and sizes they can take.
