This week’s episode was recorded on June 12th, 2016.

Our show this week is a special one with editor of upcoming book Humans and Paragons: Essays on Super Hero Justice, Ian Boucher! This weeks episode focuses on discussing the upcoming book about super hero justice, the issues with the current American justice system, and why books like this one are incredibly important to both society and comic book culture. Many many thanks to Ian and Sequart.org for letting us read some of the essays in this book and for giving us this opportunity to talk about this subject on our show!
