He's the merc with the mouth, and makes piles of money for Disney Corp with every quip and quote and catchphrase! But, what IS a Deadpool?? WHY is a Deadpool??? We attempt to answer these world-shattering questions, and may never know the real answers.

In this episode we take a cruise to SPY ISLAND by way of writer Chelsea Cain, designer Lia Miternique, artist Elise McCall, and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg! This 1970s-y tiki-tinged colorsplosion of assassins, cryptids, and cocktails feels to us like a thematic followup to Cain's awesome MOCKINGBIRD series for Marvel, also discussed here!

The Rocketeer blasted onto the scene in 1982, created by writer/artist Dave Stevens as an homage to pulp-serial heroes of the 1930s! Despite producing only a handful of issues of The Rocketeer's adventures, the character and Stevens' work were an inspiration to readers and peers alike, and led to the cult-classic 1991 film by director Joe Johnston. Dave Stevens passed-away in 2008 due to complications with leukemia, but his body of work lives on in THE ROCKETEER: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES, available in trade paperback from IDW Publishing.

HOW have we not yet discussed Batman in the year and half of this podcast?!?? This era-defining story THE COURT OF OWLS from 2011 by writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo was a phenomenal benchmark for the character, creators, readers, and lore as a whole, delving into the history of Gotham itself and setting the stage for an incredible years-long run by the same creative team.
As we asked in the episode - what's YOUR favorite standalone Batman arc that's NOT an origin-story? Let us know!

One of the very first DC Comics characters of the Golden Age, THE SANDMAN - aka Wesley Dodds - fought crime and injustice in 1930s New York City armed with nothing but his wits, a gasmask, and a gun that fired nonlethal sleeping gas. Decades later, the first issue of Neil Gaiman's legendary "Sandman" series would reintroduce the world to Wesley Dodds, now explaining that his motivations and equipment were inspired by Dream himself. The Sandman spinoff series SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE from DC's Vertigo Comics imprint would run for an impressive 70 issues from 1993-1999, spearheaded by writer Matt Wagner and a revolving door of superstar guest-artists.
The first half of this incredible run is currently in print as "Sandman Mystery Theatre Compendium One" - please buy it and let DC know you'd like them to finish off the series with Compendium Two!
Closing song: "Enter Mr. Sandman" by Moes Haven, from the album "Explorations in Madness" - https://open.spotify.com/album/6MADKPFSNBWShSCp5ZktzH?si=o4vf1ax5S2WgmIq9TQ3Bqw
