We’re back with the second part pf our 75th episode and the second chapter of Batman Eternal. And this one is… not as exciting. There’s a whole lot of Hush this time. Like, a whole lot. Plus the supernatural stuff takes over a lot, and most of the cool crime stuff is forgotten. As is…
I remember reading Black Panther, the penultimate issue of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, featuring just about every Black Marvel hero, from mutant to avenger and everyone in between, coming together to save Wakanda. It was pure fantasy fulfillment, and I felt joy. I remember reading X-Men, following Synch’s story of self-realization in and redirection…

The rules? They no longer apply to us. We’ve decided to stretch the premise of the podcast past the logical conclusion and into a world where frankly, nothing is ever the same. Looks folks, it’s coming up on six years, we’re deep into our having fun with it era. Ranked This Episode: Incredible Hulk #148…

Charles Xavier’s original five X-Men have a long history of advocating for, or executing, a genocide. We’re talking sentient races here. Jean and the D’Bari obviously, Cyclops and the Skrulls, Archangel and the whole human race at one point. Honestly it makes Beast’s unpleasantness on Terra Verde seem almost quaint. Not wanting to be left…

Who doesn’t love the idea that total nuclear annihilation could be prevented by some clueless schmo in a suit and his hypercompetent Gal Friday?

So, Will has been asking for it since about episode 3, and this week, it begins. For our 75th episode, we are covering the year long, weekly series Batman Eternal.

These two are so dang horny for one another but to touch would destroy everything. Just like the youth pastor said… Anyway,…
