A vision! An eagle and a bat locked in a death spiral, a man who lives between the ticks of seconds, and a cry accompanied by seven thunders uttering their voices! That’s right! We’re finally talking about the 1996 epic, Kingdom Come, by Mark Waid and Alex Ross! Case and Jmike are joined by Duke (@ProfofEvil) to dig into this landmark work.

The Avatar belongs to its generation. It is a being burdened with stewardship of its time and place. We’ve discussed Aang, but now it’s time to move onto the next generation. To do that, Case has Let’s Rewatch’s Samantha Willson on to talk about The Legend of Korra!

Case has Geek Elite Media’s Mitch Punpayuk on to talk about Superman: War of the Worlds!

The end of the world has always been baked into the Superman mythos. Usually it’s just not our world. Case is joined by author, John Bradley-Lestrange, to discuss his academic work on genocide and how the doomed planet can be lens for how to view our own.

For 90s kids, The Animated Series was THE interpretation of Superman. Matt Storm is filling in for Jmike to look back on the classic cartoon with Case.
