August 27, 2025 The Boy Who Hated Robin
Rockin’ Robin Summer continues with another World’s Finest Wednesday! This week, Zach takes Mike back to Star-Spangled Comics #82 (1948) for the bizarre Golden Age story “The Boy Who Hated Robin.”
Robin decides Gotham’s kids need more than busted fire hydrants and pool halls—so he opens his very own summer camp. From fisticuffs with Petey Downs, to moral lessons about stealing ham, to cabins that pop up in a week, this camp has it all.It’s a weird, hilarious dive into one of Robin’s silliest stories, complete with questionable detective skills, pixie boots, and plenty of Mike roasting along the way.
Part of our ongoing Rockin’ Robin Summer series!

August 25, 2025 Robin: Year One
It’s the start of our Rockin’ Robin Summer! Zach tries his best to convince Mike that Robin isn’t useless by diving into one of the most acclaimed Boy Wonder stories: Robin: Year One.

We cover Dick Grayson’s early adventures as Batman’s partner, his brutal run-in with Two-Face, his battles with Mad Hatter and Mr. Freeze, and the constant question...should a kid really be fighting Gotham’s worst criminals in pixie boots?

Expect deep dives into the story, plenty of Alfred wisdom, Mike’s ongoing Robin skepticism, and of course, lots of jokes about pants (or the lack thereof).

Robin: Year One (DC Comics, 2000–2001)
Writers: Chuck Dixon & Scott Beatty
Artists: Javier Pulido & Marcos Martín

August 20, 2025 How Peacemaker Learned to Love Peace (And Kill For It)
In this episode of Bros, Foes, & Heroes, Zach and Mike break down Peacemaker's first appearance in Charlton Comics, his bizarre “Peace Palace,” his stockpile of weapons he was never supposed to use, and his showdown with the evil Emil Bork (yes, Bork).
Along the way, we cover how DC later reimagined him in the ’80s, why Alan Moore almost turned him into the Comedian in Watchmen, and how he evolved into the helmet-wearing anti-hero we know today.

August 18, 2025 Peacemaker Tries Hard!...Again
Peacemaker is back and he’s still trying way too hard. In this episode of Bros, Foes & Heroes, Zach and Mike revisit one of their all-time favorite modern DC stories, Peacemaker Tries Hard! (DC Comics, 2023) from Kyle Starks, Steve Pugh, Jordie Bellaire, and Becca Carey.
From awkward grocery store arguments and “muscle cake” recipes, to the world’s weirdest team-ups with a talking gorilla, the Red Bee, and even a cocaine-powered supervillain, this Black Label series delivers nonstop chaos and heart. We break down the wildest moments, the surprisingly emotional beats, and why this comic perfectly captures everything ridiculous and lovable about Peacemaker.
So grab your protein powder, put on your favorite helmet, and get ready for a second serving of Peacemaker’s over-the-top misadventures—complete with dogs named Bruce Wayne, demolition crews, and one very questionable bunker.

August 04, 2025 Batman: Digital Justice
What happens when Batman enters the cyberpunk future of 1990… via early-90s CGI?
In this episode of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike dive into the bizarre, ambitious, and wildly outdated world of Batman: Digital Justice — one of DC’s earliest fully computer-generated graphic novels. We break down the story, the tech it was made on, the weird villains (Mob Lord! Madame X! A Joker virus!), and the overly enthusiastic teeth renders.
From 8 megs of RAM and Tron-style Batmobiles to hoverboarding Robins, it’s a wild ride through a digital Gotham like no other.

July 23, 2025 Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow – Part 2 (Second Printing)
We're wrapping up our return trip through one of the most beautifully told Supergirl stories ever — Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.

In Part 2 (covering issues 5–8), Zach and Mike continue Kara’s cosmic revenge quest, where things get darker, more dangerous, and surprisingly emotional. From poisoned skies to space pirates to final confrontations, we talk about why this book hits so hard, how it redefines Supergirl, and why it deserves to be a modern classic.

See why this quickly became one of Zach’s all-time favorite stories in comics.

July 21, 2025 Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow – Part 1 (Second Printing)
This week, we’re revisiting one of our all-time favorite modern DC stories: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.
In Part 1 (covering issues 1–4), Zach and Mike break down the stunning, space-western journey of Kara Zor-El as she tries to enjoy her birthday in peace… only to get pulled into an interstellar quest for revenge with a sharp-tongued girl and a whole lot of emotional weight.
We dive into the gorgeous art, the big character swings, and why this book made us both rethink how we see Supergirl. It’s violent, poetic, heartbreaking — and a top-tier comic from start to finish.

July 18, 2025 All-Star Superman Part 4 (Audio Version)
It’s the grand finale! In this week’s episode of Bros, Foes & Heroes, we close out our deep dive into All-Star Superman with issues 10 through 12 — and it's all building toward one of the greatest endings in comic book history.

Superman races against time as his body continues to break down, and Lex Luthor finally gets everything he ever wanted... or so he thinks. We unpack some of the series' most powerful and emotional moments — from the iconic "you are stronger than you think" scene to Superman’s final act of selflessness.

We also share our full thoughts on the series as a whole, how it ties into the new Superman movie, and why this might just be the perfect Superman story. Expect our usual mix of praise, chaos, jokes, and a whole lot of love for Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s masterpiece.

July 14, 2025 All-Star Superman Part 3 (Audio Version)
This week on Bros, Foes & Heroes, we jump into Part 3 of our All-Star Superman deep dive, covering issues 7–9 — and things get wonderfully weird.
We talk Bizarro world (and the lonely genius ZiBarro), Superman's DIY rocket escape, bizarre Justice League knock-offs, and what happens when two other Kryptonians show up and decide Earth needs a new management team (spoiler: it doesn’t go well).
Along the way, we get sidetracked on everything from the Superman movie’s perfect “golly” moments to popcorn salt overload, James Gunn’s Peacemaker, the future of DC movies, and the tragic downfall of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in our hearts.
It’s part myth, part Silver Age fever dream, part love letter to Superman — and all chaotic fun.
Tune in as we build toward the final chapters of this classic run and gear up for the big Superman movie talk coming Wednesday!
