An episode to make you go sit down and think deeply about some stuff. We cover growing up on Asterix, accepting the death of Jason Todd, the many faces of the Punisher, the ethics and politics of vengeance in society today, hating on Iron Fist but trusting Legion, Free Comic Book day, and characters as a force of nature.

We also mention Evolving the Alien (https://www.amazon.com/Evolving-Alien-Science-Extraterrestrial-Life/dp/0091879272) by Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen (although the title in Australia was "What Would A Martian Look Like?")

Episode 6 has some audio issues, but is still awesome! While speaking with Ryan O'Neill (Twitter handle @kanganoulipo1), we cover zombie franchises, sending letters to Marv Wolfman, the positivity of Batman, and we play a great game called 'Two Villians and a Hero'.

In episode five, we talk with Narrelle M Harris about the significance of hair in Elfquest, how woke is Riverdale, and the Lucifer-Miranda crossover fanfic we all want (even if we didn't know it).

Our fourth episode features author/illustrator Jules Faber. We talk about Mister Squiggle, Judge Dredd, and some great dystopian literature.

We talk to Michael Pryor (The Laws of Magic, The Quentaris Chronicles) about the Silver Age of Comics and the appeal of Superman.

In our second episode we talk with Tansy Rayne Roberts about diversity in comics and superhero toys, Batgirl, awesome YA superhero prose and more.
