Counting down to Wednesday’s new episode…

NEW EPISODE! In “fixing” continuity problems from Crisis on Infinite Earths, 1994’s Zero Hour gave DC a new timeline. Buckle up: we get deep and nerdy about what Crisis REALLY did vs. what we often SAY it did and what exactly “continuity” is for! LISTEN: patreon.com/posts/136916725

NEW EPISODE! Where were you when the lights went out? We were reading 1996’s The Final Night, a crossover without a true villain (except for the ones trying to help), focused instead on how superheroes cope with what might be the end of the world. LISTEN: patreon.com/posts/138020530

New episode Wednesday

NEW EPISODE! Astro City turned 30 this year, and we consider its place in the revisionist superhero canon. Is its approach “realistic” or something else? Is it a deconstruction or reconstruction of the genre? Are superheroes a “genre” at all? LISTEN: patreon.com/posts/astro-ci…

Coming Wednesday…

NEW EPISODE!  “Wake the Devil,” the second Hellboy epic, entangles the BPRD in a conspiracy involving a billionaire industrialist, the return of Rasputin and his Nazi cronies, a Romanian vampire, and lots more mythological monsters.  LISTEN: patreon.com/posts/14017297…

NEW EPISODE! It’s a Halloween Fifth Week Bonus and we’re talking Topps Comics’ adaptation of the movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula, with art by Mike Mignola himself! The missing link from his previous work to Hellboy! LISTEN: patreon.com/posts/fifth-we…

NEW EPISODE! We go deep on Moon Knight in the Iron Age with a look at the Fist of Khonshu series by Alan Zelenitz and Chris Warner, the Marc Spector series by Chuck Dixon and Sal Velluto, and some odds and ends in between. LISTEN: patreon.com/posts/moon-kni…
