Paul talks about the first seven issues or so of the recent series (2016), although with only minor spoils so the episode is friendly for readers and non-readers. Paul touches on conceptions of nationhood, Ta-Nehisi Coates writing comics, contrasts with Christopher Priest and Reginald Hudlin runs, the complexities of leadership, portrayals of peoples, and a little politics.
