June 02, 2025 Spider-Man: The Death Of Jean DeWolff (Audio Version)
This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we take a sharp turn into one of the darkest Spider-Man stories ever told: The Death of Jean DeWolff.

In honor of the late, great Peter David — the writer behind this brutal and emotional arc — we dig into the moment where everything breaks: Spider-Man, Daredevil, the system… and the reader’s expectations.

This isn’t just a whodunit. It’s a street-level thriller with religious trauma, guilt, and a masked killer known as the Sin-Eater. We break down how this story flipped Spidey’s usual tone on its head, gave Daredevil some of his best moments, and pushed Peter Parker to his absolute edge.

May 26, 2025 Memorial Day Madness (Audio Version)
This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike celebrate Memorial Day the only way they know how — by diving into the most over-the-top patriotic superheroes in comic book history.

From the guy literally raised by eagles…
To the one who might actually be the flag…
To the living embodiment of America itself…

We break down the origins, costumes, powers, and gloriously weird moments that made these characters unforgettable — for better or worse. This episode has propaganda, explosions, and at least one eagle-related backstory. Happy Memorial Day, comic-style.

May 20, 2025 Stan Lee's Batman (Audio Version)
This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike take a look at one of the wildest “What ifs” in comic book history: Just Imagine: Stan Lee’s Batman.
What happens when the co-creator of the Marvel Universe rewrites DC’s Dark Knight from scratch? You get Wayne Williams — a wrestler, revenge-driven vigilante in a bat-suit who might also be a celebrity cereal mascot.
We dig into the redesign, the origin story, and the wild choices that make this version of Batman feel unmistakably like Stan’s.

May 14, 2025 Dial H for Hero - World's Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)
On this week's World’s Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we explore one of DC’s weirdest and most creative debuts — the first appearance of Dial H for Hero! When teenager Robby Reed stumbles upon a mysterious alien device shaped like a rotary dial (yes, really), he gains the ability to transform into an entirely new superhero every time he dials H-E-R-O.

What could go wrong with powers you don’t choose, wild villains, and a transformation system more confusing than your grandma’s landline? Zach and Mike break it all down — one random superhero at a time.

May 07, 2025 Batman the Magician - World's Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)
On this week’s World’s Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we enter a world of smoke, mirrors, and... high-stakes handcuffs? When a notorious gang leader is locked into a pair of explosive cuffs that detonate with the slightest vibration, he does what any criminal would do—kidnap a world-famous magician to escape them.

Enter Batman and Robin, who swap crime-fighting for curtain calls as they go undercover as stage performers to track down the missing illusionist and foil the gang’s deadly plan. With dramatic escapes, sleight-of-hand justice, and a Bat-costume that somehow includes a tuxedo, this Golden Age gem delivers all the over-the-top fun you could ask for.

It’s magic, mayhem, and more in Detective Comics #207: Batman the Magician!

May 05, 2025Guy Gardner (Audio Version)
This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike ask the question nobody was really ready to answer:
👉 Who is Guy Gardner… and why does every hero want to punch him?
We kick things off with Guy’s actual origin in Green Lantern #59, where we learn he was almost Earth's Green Lantern — but lost out because Hal Jordan lived closer. Seriously.
Then it’s a full dive into his most iconic (and unhinged) moments:
Justice League America #28 – where Guy takes his girlfriend on a date to... an adult movie theater.

Justice League America #52 – where he sucker punches Blue Beetle during a boxing match.

Justice League International #5 – where Batman settles an argument with one punch that lives in meme history.
From bowl cuts to bar fights to “sweet cheeks” one-liners, we’re exploring everything that makes Guy Gardner the worst-best Green Lantern in DC Comics history.
