Akaku Upstairs will present “Superheroes in Cinema — Comics on the Big Screen” with Barry Wurst II from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Akaku Media Lab, 333 Dairy Road, Suite 204, in Kahului.
Wurst is the founder of the Hawaii Film Critics Society and co-host of Akaku’s “What’s Going On.”
Using a reel of superhero movie clips, Wurst will talk about the history of comics that have made the leap from newsprint to film, as well as the recent explosion in cinema’s most popular genre. He’ll discuss why these films are important and what they say about our society.
