In this week's episode, Ryan makes Jamie read the second half of the critically acclaimed graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns. Written by Frank Miller, illustrated by Miller and Klaus Janson, with color by Lynn Varley. 

They also discuss Miller's continuing themes of authoritarianism, is this Superman badly written?, and does this title deserve to be considered one of the greatest graphic novels of all time?
