Another day, another interview episode in our "Spotlight!" series where we highlight Black Artists who have in some way crossed paths with the superhero genre.

Welcome to "Supa Black!" Jordan Calhoun! You may recognize his name as the writer of the viral article that firmly reminded us that "A Goofy Movie" is the Blackest, Most Underrated Nerd Classic of All Time. He is the Editor in Chief at Lifehacker and host of the award-winning podcast, The Upgrade. His newsletter in The Atlantic, Humans Being, searches for lessons in the most popular movies, books, TV shows, and video games.
