While things were getting grim an' gritty in 1980s comics, the antidote was a dose of BWAH-HA-HA, which came in the form of Justice League International.  We take a deep dive into issues #5-8. 
 
In the post-Crisis, cold war decade of the '80s, a new Justice League was needed, and while this version of the league took their heroics seriously, it didn't stop them from cracking a joke or two or three or....well, you get the point.  This classic comic re-invented the League for a new era and the inspired creativity of Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire made sure the action and the jokes were fast and furious, sometimes ending in literal punchlines. 
 
There's battling, backstabbing, and drama....and that's just amongst the heroes themselves! 
 
Needless to say, we had a lot of fun doing this episode. 
 
Hosted by Brad Page and Chris Karam

Back Issue Banter #6: Justice League (International)

Here on the Mr. K's Super Show feed, we have three podcasts that cover your music and comic book needs. 
On each episode of Mr. K's Super Show, Mr. K examines, dissects, and analyzes 60s, 70s, and 80s music with the help of a special guest!  No aspect of the music is too trivial as we go back to a time when music was fun, brash, and dynamic, and it was all about spending your allowance on LPs, 45s, cassettes, and CDs!   
If you like the music of Led Zeppelin, then checkout our dedicated Led Zeppelin podcast, The Pod Remains The Same        (co-hosted by Brad Page), where we examine the catalog of one of the greatest bands of all-time.  Album-by-album, song-by-song.
If you're a comic book fan, check out our dedicated comics podcast, Back Issue Banter (co-hosted by Brad Page), where we examine the classic comics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and the writers and artists who breathed life into them .
