Ogle a ...…

Great... Now Batman is taking over THIS podcast TOO?!? Actually, as a late Christmas gift to friend of the show, John Moret, we're talking about a fun non-official Justice League of America adventure that was told mostly as backups in the first five issues of the "Detective Comics" section I'm talking about, and cumulates in one entire issue fo ...…

See Superman of Earth-2 act like a total jerk! Amaze at veiled cameos from Marvel artificial int ...…

Welcome new writer Gerry Conway to the adventures of the Justice League! ... And in my eyes, issue 151 FELT like someone finding their footing with the team! But you'll hear all about it in this new episode! You get such highlights as Green Arrow's rampant jerkaholic behavior, an Amos Fortune appearance I... GASP... kind of like, and even a Bat ...…

So we only cover one issue apiece! So what! It's still a delight to have as my guest Nathaniel Wayne, to be found at Tough Like a Girl, The Council of Geeks Youtube Channel, and even with a published book to be found at Amazon, entitled Skirting Gender! Of course, my friend COULDN'T refuse a 90's book, and I brought the late 80's thunder, so li ...…

Welcome back to the days of long and winding episodes! (If only Hollywood and cover date comics didn't give me so much to talk about!)

Animated statues of Caesar, Napole ...…

The wait for this episode has been longer than a space trip on the city of Mu, and more awkward than social interactions between Batman, Black Canary, and Green Arrow! So what say we keep this short and sweet, and say I talk about JLA issue 88, "The Last Survivors of Earth!", and address your feedback and other fun stuff! And hopefully you welc ...…

All this, plus added contributions by Ryan Daly, and Ruth and Darren ...…

The Justice League and Justice Society of America team up, yet again, and the stakes are a world... and the price is of one person! In this coverage of JLA 73 and 74, despite the dramatic threat of the star-being Aquarius, I also take time to goof of Atom being the de-facto annoying guy at a JLA meeting, question how superheroic merchandising w ...…

If you're like me in life, sometimes you need a morale booster to get through the day.

There's a caveat to this episode; unless you're wearing your Green Arrow costume, like the rest of the Justice League does in this issue... EVEN Wonder Woman for a panel... you just won't catch the full meaning of "Operation: Jail the Justice League"! See the debut of another one-off lame villain for Aquaman! Bear witness to gimmick infringemen ...…

Zazzala makes her grand return... though you'd be fooled from her rather benign expressions throughout the issue... and she's bringing special shapely guest star Batgirl with her in "Justice League of America" 60! In this issue, we see Green Lantern's glandular issues, Green Arrow's horrid sexism... and arrow strategy, and Batman packing heat! ...…

Emoclew ot a dnarb wen edosipe! In JLA 51, we have the conclusion to a multi-title story... before such a concept WAS a regular comics concept, and we even have a sneak peek at two future Justice Leaguers!

Illness and work-related exhaustion can attempt to hold me down, but I step up my game to deliver some coverage on "Justice League of America" 43! Call it fate, call it karma or call it Stellaration card influence, but it's time to talk about the REAL first appearance of the Royal Flush Gang! As if that weren't enough, you also have crazy Tarot ...…

There is an honest-to-goodness positive message in JLA 36, "The Case of the Disabled Justice League", that I make sure to illustrate! But lest you think I'm getting all serious on you all, I also make repeated jokes about Brain Storm's helmet, why Snapper Carr sucks at charity work, is stuttering THAT serious of a medical condition... and loads ...…

Looks like we're due for a check-up from the doctor... Doctor Destiny, that is! In "Justice League of America" 34, we have such delights as Destiny's REALLY convoluted threat against the JLA, some nifty handicapping apperatus that our team must overcome, a Snapper Carr appearance that will probably make all listeners want to slap the taste out ...…

For a holiday bonus, I decided to record commentary on the first episode... and a half... of the "Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Team" collection!

Despero returns to turn some heroes into kitty litter, and others into candidates for "Expendables 4"! Plus cameos by shark-dolphins, and a tyrannosa ...…

Has the Maestro defeated the JLA at last? Is Aquaman able to decide on a different hypnotic dance than Wonder Woman? Can Snapper Carr belittle the Atom any more? All these questions, and deeper points are brought up by an issue that could be equal to the critiques leveled at "Justice League", being an issue of two halves, with "Cavern of the De ...…

Unless you're an impatient jerk like Snapper Carr in this issue, come join me as I detail for you the GRAND DEBUT of Ray "The Atom" Palmer in Justice League of America 14!

Welcome to the House of Fun! Now I've come of age! Welcome to where Snapper Carr gets all tingly, where the love children of aliens and chimpanzees plot to collect probes containing 100,000 years of weapons knowledge, and where if your neck is slight extended, you forget EVERYTHING!
