  • S3E10 Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader and Superman: The Supergirl Saga
    In a first for JCTC our heroes do both Superman and Batman in one pod and they didn’t even read a comic where Superman dies, although he kills 3 people and in the Batman comic Batman dies. I’m not exactly sure either one of the hosts actually likes comics. Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader Written by Neil Gaimen Art by Andy Kubert Superman: The Supergirl Saga Written by John Byrne Art by John Bryne and Jerry Ordway

  • S3E9 Survival Street and New Avengers: Illuminati
    In which our heroes talk about how bad an idea a bunch of white men in private rooms making plans for the world can be. Which is essentially the plot of New Avenger: Illuminati. It doesn’t help that they are superheroes making the decisions. Then they discuss a sweet story about Muppets coming to America and then be forced to battle corporate forces that run the country as a group of freedom fighters. And they do take the gun from his cold dead hand.Survival Street Written by James Asmus Art by Abylay KussinovNew Avengers: Illuminati Written by Brian Michael Bendis and Brian Reed Art by Jim Cheung

  • S3E8 Plastic Man and Catwoman
    In which our heroes discuss the atomic bomb, serial killers, and Star Wars Episode 1 as well as two comic books. First up is Jav’s choice a brilliantly noir Catwoman arc that may be the most noir comic talked about on the pod so far. Second comic was a great different comic in Plastic Man suggested by Charles, and they referenced Plastic Man’s junk so many times you would have thought Charles wrote it. Plastic Man was a surprisingly poignant comic considering the main character is essentially silly putty.Plastic Man Written by Gail Simone Art by Adriana Melo Catwoman Written by Ed Brubaker Art by Darwyn Cooke

  • S3E7 Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales and Earth X
    In which Jav and Charles actually argue about Jav’s choice Planet X and Charles was clearly right about his opinions (and listeners know he writes these notes too). They also talk about Miles Morales’ Ultimate Spider-Man origin which both of them like, but they argue again about the theft of Miles' best friend Ganke being repurposed into Ned Leeds in the newest live action Spider-Man movies. Charles’ irritation is justified, according to Charles. I have spoken.Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Sara PichelliEarth X Written by Jim Krueger and Alex Ross Cover art by Alex Ross Art by John Paul Leon

  • S3E6 Civil War and The New X-Men

    In which are heroes read The New X-Men and are horrified to find that they have the Woke Mind Virus. Out of nowhere the X-Men seems to be pushing some kind of agenda where everyone should be treated equally and it doesn’t matter what you look like or where you were born. They also talk about Civil War no not state’s rights, the comic book one, it’s about not having a 2nd amendment right to blow up a school with you body. Killing schoolkids with super powers will be dealt with immediately with an act of congress.

  • S3E5 Flashpoint and Tom Strong
    In this episode Tom is Strong and The Flash is on Point, when our heroes discuss Flashpoint and Tom Strong. For once Charles likes an event book (that he suggested) in Flashpoint and Jav changes his tune from the last episode when he horrifically savaged Charles’ choice. Charles also really liked Jav’s choice of Tom Strong, a comic that was (in Jav & Charles’ hackneyed opinion) a love story to the old comics and pulp novels from whence they came.

  • S3E4 The Good Asian and Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters
    In this episode our heroes discuss two very different comics. One a traditional superhero event book full of tropes and the other a noir-based detective book full of tropes (but different ones). In Jav’s pick, Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters fight for America and in Charles’ pick The Good Asian, also fights for America but in a different way.

  • S3E3 Spider-Gwen and The Incredible Hulk
    In the surprisingly comic book centric episode our heroes mainly talk about the comic books they read. Instead of veering off into strange tangents about the dating habits of the lower class in Victorian London. The closest thing to a tangent they had was Charles rambling on about Spider-Verse while they discussed the great first comic arc of Spider-Gwen. They also talked about an 80’s Incredible Hulk run that Incredibly Charles liked.Spider-Gwen Written by Jason Latour Art by Robbi RodriguezThe Incredible Hulk Written by Peter David Art by Todd McFarlane
