Episode 4 Buckle up buckaroos it’s long one. Our heroes finally talk about The Dark Night Returns and talk they do. Surprisingly enough they liked it. Then they talk about a Superman arc Panic in the Sky which was a lot of fun to read and discuss. The Dark Knight Returns Written and Drawn by Frank Miller Superman: Panic in the Sky By Ordway, Grummett & Hazlewood
In which Jav and Charles have a deep and intricate discussion of the finer details of the Secret Six and Fantastic Four: Life Story. Just kidding, all they remembered about Secret Six was they liked it a lot and they got hung up arguing about why no mutants appeared in Fantastic Four. Jav complained a lot about their not being mutants to the point where he damned it with his greatest scorn, “I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would.” Fantastic Four: Life Story Written by Mark Russell Art by Sean Izaakse Secret Six Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale Eaglesham
In which our heroes argue over how to build suspense. Well Charles argues for that, Jav just spoils things. This episode has some very heavy themes in the comics and the boys discuss them with the same tact and care they do with all their comic choices.

Taylor, and John Watkiss
First episode of season four, in which our heroes participate in a predestination paradox both in this podcast twice and in every one of their other podcasts. As in all our podcasts two comic arcs were read one suggested by Jav, House of X/Powers of X and one suggested by Charles, Superman: Red Son. Charles liked one of them if you've listened before you can probably guess which one.

In a very special episode Jav and Charles talk comics with a very special guest Mark Reznicek not only is he a huge comics fan he is also the drummer for The Toadies. It was great having the opportunity to talk to someone who clearly knows a lot about comics but also loves them the way Jav and Charles do.
