From comedy disembowelment to body horror to real-life atrocities of war, violence in comics has long been the subject of controversy. Kelly Kanayama leads this panel with Simon Spurrior, Garth Ennis, Alison Sampson, and Al Ewing to explore long-running questions around depictions of graphic violence (pun intended), including: Is there such a thing as going too far when portraying violence? How might violence on the page subvert or reinforce systemic power dynamics? When is explicit violence not only useful but necessary in telling a story? And can you ever really have too many drawings of guns?
