There are some creators who left us too soon, and left us at the height of their creative output. One of those creators was Darwyn Cooke, whose work balanced on a tightrope of nostalgia and modernity, who could tell a story with the best of them. Cooke's output included many Batman stories, and thanks to Patreon backer Sam Hopper, Matt and Will are going to dig into three of them this episode

Batman: Ego

Batman/The Spirit

DC: The New Frontier

We recorded this episode in early May, at the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Month, and as a trigger warning, the first story this week deals with self harm and suicide. If you are feeling hopeless, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

Also, there are some audio issues early in this episode. Sorry about that. They smooth out over time in there. Thanks for listening even when things aren't going as smoothly as I'd like.
