This week, the Pals talk about DC's approach to marketing for its upcoming Heroes in Crisis event and whether it's insensitive, the return of Superman: The Movies to theaters, and a follow up on the Alterna Comics social media policy now that it has (allegedly) claimed its first victim. We also talk all about Captain Marvel!
