In episode 113 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo begins his penultimate episode covering the fall 1978 season of Superfriends, the season commonly referred to as “Challenge of the Superfriends”

First, there is a jailbreak on a distant planet, the local law enforcement cant handle it. So what do they do? They call the Superfriends. Batman shows up, takes care of business and Capricorn Kid swears revenge.

And Kid wants “Batman: Dead or Alive”.

Then Toyman invents a device that works better than he expected. Hes going to transport people into storybooks and its also a great way to get rid of the Superfriends.

Come, gather around, children, lets read “A Fairy Tale of Doom”.

And now lets go on a space mission. Lets save some kind of floating city and then lets get called away because a couple of Goddesses got into a catfight.

Are the Superfriends worthy? Lets hear about “The Battle of the Gods”.

And then its that special day. The one every superhero dreads.

The day when three members of the Legion of Doom break away from the main group and wreak some havoc on their own. What happens next?They get caught? They escape?

And the Legion of Doom calls the Superfriends for help?

What?

Its “Doomsday”.

Next time: Mike will complete his coverage of the 1978 season of Superfriends with the new Superfriends episodes, “Journey Through Innerspace” and “Rise and Fall of the Superfriends” and the Challenge of the Superfriends episodes, “Superfriends Rest in Peace” and “History of Doom”.

And now for something completely different. This week, Magnus makes good on a threat posted in the Facebook group to talk about some bizarre occurrences from the old freelancing days. Yes, technically this should be another episode of Weird Stuff but scheduling just didn't permit it.

Its the twenty-second episode of Required Reading With Tom and Stella! This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast, The Batman Universe) is two teachers talking about literature. Each episode, we will be taking a look at a single work, analyzing it, criticizing it and deciding if its worth its place in the canon.

This time around, we're taking a look at Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.

Jazzy John Romita starts to make the strip his own in this next batch of issues of Amazing Spider-Man as Andrew dips into #48 through to the iconic #50.

It is an extra-sized episode and an extra-sized issue as The 'Nam hits issue #75. In four different stories that take us in country and back again, we look at events and perspectives surrounding the My Lai massacre. Creators in this one include original 'Nam writer Doug Murray, Scott Lobdell, Don Lomax, Mike Harris, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Herb Trimpe.

Plus, I also take a long look at the final season of China Beach with expanded coverage of the events of the season and its final three episodes.

Chris, Scott and Pat finally cover the season three finale, which hopefully isnt the series finale (Seriously AMC, I wont be responsible for my actions) of Preacher. Jesse, fueled by rage and revenge comes back to Angelville with the power of Genesis back in his grasp….Or throat. He has to go through Jody first if he wants to get to grandma and trust me when I say, you wont be “board” with this fight. Meanwhile, Tulip is fighting Nazis, The Saint is fighting Nazis and Eugene is fighting Hitler on the bus ride to Hell. Finally, Cassidy is resolving his time with Les Enfants du Sang and Herr Starr makes a glorious appearance as well. Its time to hit the road again with the Preacher crew and hopefully not for the final time on Weekly Heroics!

The time travel aspect of our epic is almost over, but there's more story to tell as Paul and Bill look at the debut of the Hellcat.

Every year, Magnus rewatches the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Also rewatched is the Maple Films fan edit of The Hobbit.

In a drastic change to the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Steve Ditko was out and JOHN ROMITA was in! Join Andrew as reads thorugh the first year of Post-Ditko AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with issues 39-45.
