In this episode we discuss; DC Spotlight September 16, 2026: Absolute Green Arrow's Big Twist, End of Life Gets Wilder & Can Superman Save Everyone? The Comic Source   Jace and Rocky break down all 15 DC releases for the week of September 16, 2026. Deathstroke: The Terminator #7 shifts the spotlight to Adeline Kane, using flashbacks to explore the already-dysfunctional foundation of her relationship with Slade while Doctor Ivo offers her a mysterious new power. A new arc kicks off Batman/Superman: World's Finest #55, pairing Poison Ivy with Ra's al Ghul as they assemble a new group of Four Horsemen while Jace praises the cleaner look of Adrián Gutiérrez's art under Vicente Cifuentes' inks. The Bad Seeds crossover disrupts Selina's ongoing story throughout Catwoman #91, though the continued focus on her relationship with Carmine Falcone gives Jace and Rocky something worthwhile to latch onto. Amanda Waller's increasingly brutal power grab drives Dark Knights of Steel II #3, especially the apparent murder of Lara, which provokes one of the strongest reactions of the entire episode. Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow's Hand expands Cassandra's history with Lady Shiva, David Cain and the surviving League of Assassins while revealing a compassion that separates her sharply from her mother. Yara Flor leads the Titans back to the Esquecida for New Titans #39, where Static's unreliable powers and characterization prompt sharply different reactions from Jace and Rocky. Blüdhaven gets dragged into Bad Seeds during Nightwing #142 through the tragedy of a former Gotham resident, even though Jace would rather Dan Watters' regular storyline had continued uninterrupted. Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh keep the absurdity and emotion working side by side throughout End of Life #8, as Eddie's captivity, Little Cock's torture and one very unexpected return make it one of the week's standouts. Lobo's trip back to Czarnia turns into a trap during Lobo #7, launching "The Last Death of Lobo" while Jorge Corona's darker, more visceral artwork earns especially strong praise from Rocky. Joe Kubert: 100 Years — A Life in Covers becomes a celebration of Kubert's ability to tell a complete story through a single image, even as Jace objects to the omission of his beloved Star Spangled War Stories #138. Verity Pennyworth becomes unexpectedly important to Detective Comics #1113 when she uncovers the lethal flaw in Commissioner Savage's planned herbicide, while the backup introduces the new villain Rhetoric. The return to Wonder War gives Wonder Woman #37 a major Diana-and-Steve reunion and gorgeous Daniel Sampere artwork, though Jace feels the emotional payoff is muted and the issue functions mostly as setup. Superman Unlimited #17 pushes Kingdom of Zod closer to its conclusion as Lana Lang helps purge Superman's kryptonite poisoning and he realizes there may be a way to save everyone else as well. Absolute Green Arrow #5 appears to finally answer the book's central mystery before Pornsak Pichetshote delivers another twist that completely reframes what Jace and Rocky thought they understood. Kate Kane answers Batman's call during Batwoman #7, returning to Gotham to deal with Vandal Savage's forces in a Bad Seeds tie-in that Jace thinks is slightly more interesting than the book's ongoing story, though neither host is especially enthusiastic. Jace and Rocky also cover this week's collected editions before ranking all 15 books and revealing their Books of the Week.   Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource   00:00 Intro / Week Overview 05:06 Deathstroke: The Terminator #7 13:22 Batman/Superman: World's Finest #55 22:09 Catwoman #91 28:48 Dark Knights of Steel II #3 37:58 Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow's Hand 47:13 New Titans #39 55:58 Nightwing #142 1:03:51 End of Life #8 1:13:48 Lobo #7 1:21:34 Joe Kubert: 100 Years — A Life in Covers 1:28:56 Detective Comics #1113 1:38:20 Wonder Woman #37 1:45:00 Superman Unlimited #17 1:52:04 Absolute Green Arrow #5 2:01:09 Batwoman #7 2:07:01 Batman Day / New Releases & Collections 2:11:03 Rankings & Books of the Week

While we had previously thought there was no existing early version of Lorenzo Semple's script for "Zelda the Great"/"A Death Worse than Fate", an alert listener has sent us a… well, related treatment. It's by Charles Hoffman and is based on "Batman's Inescapable Doom-Trap" from Detective Comics 346, retaining Carnado as the magician, rather than Zelda. The treatment varies from the comics story, but in different ways from "Zelda". This time, we examine the treatment and compare it to the comics story and the TV version. Subscribe to our Patreon for $2 a month to hear our discussion of the treatment in our bi-weekly examination of Batman 66 on BAT BITS!

Batman is a fictional superhero and the secret alter ego of Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist and philanthropist. Created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, the character first debuted in DC Comics' Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. He operates out of the fictional, crime-ridden Gotham City, acting as its nightly protector. This is what I picked up surrounding his energies and what he had to say to the collective

Hector and CJ host this episode of The Pull List Podcast, covering comic news, recent pulls, standout artwork and writing, spiritual themes in Spider-Man/Hulk: Fire and Brimstone, and a full bracket to determine the best unpowered superhero. The episode moves from Spider-Man, Detective Comics, Absolute Green Arrow, Tailspin, and The Last Driver into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about Hulk seeking spiritual help before Batman, Nightwing, Black Widow, Cassandra Cain, Iron Man, and more battle their way through the unpowered superhero bracket. Along the way, Hector and CJ bring their usual mix of comics commentary, clean humor, faith discussion, and friendly arguments about what makes a character—and a comic—worth coming back to.

Jace and Rocky break down all 14 DC releases for the week of August 26, 2026. Batman: Bad Seeds — Sunset #1 begins the Bad Seeds event with Poison Ivy handing Gotham over to the Parliament of Trees in exchange for immunity over the death of Bog Venus, but the spectacle-heavy crossover immediately strips away much of the nuance that has made G. Willow Wilson's Poison Ivy run so strong. Justice League Unlimited #22 briefly gives Mr. Terrific the combined powers of the Justice League while Blue Beetle quietly assembles heroes who suspect Batman, Wonder Woman and the League leadership may have been compromised by Darkseid, as the amnesty granted to supervillains creates legitimate distrust inside and outside the League. Detective Comics #1112 brings Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary to the truth surrounding Prion's death and an emotional decision about whether that truth should ever be revealed. Poison Ivy #47 accelerates Pamela's fall as she loses Harley, alienates Janet from HR, loses Vandal Savage as an ally and watches Peter Undine take control of the Knights of the Green Order before making a desperate bargain with the Parliament of Trees. Zatanna #5 takes Zatanna into the Hidden City as Jamal Campbell continues expanding the magical rules, rituals and mythology surrounding her role as Prime Magus. Absolute Wonder Woman #23 finds Diana singularly focused on locating Barbara Minerva without realizing Barbara has willingly become the Cheetah, while Zeus calls upon a reluctant Ares as part of an unknown plan against Wonder Woman and Veronica Cale's daughter becomes increasingly important to the larger mystery. Absolute Catwoman #3 reunites Selina with Holly and Helena Bertinelli as the story moves between their present-day mission and their earlier days as the Calicos, including a mysterious list connected to Cain and the reality-altering technology known as the Yarn. The Flash #36 has Wally expanding his attempt to prevent crime before it happens into Metropolis, prompting Green Arrow to finally confront him over how invasive and dangerous that level of intervention has become and quietly gather other heroes to discuss whether Wally has crossed a line. Green Lantern #38 forces Kyle Rayner to confront the amnesty granted to Major Force before swinging into a bizarre battle involving Condiment King, FEAST and Big Belly Burger's corporate mascots, while Hal Jordan's separate space storyline with Jana continues. Superman: Father of Tomorrow #4 continues raising uncomfortable questions about Jor-El's attempts to guide Earth's technological development while introducing Hex Luthor, a Lex who abandoned science for magic and demonstrates just how dangerous that choice has made him. Superman #41 escalates Superman's battle with Zod under the effects of kryptonite as the Kingdom of Zod story takes a major and genuinely unexpected turn, dramatically shifting the balance of power and opening a new direction involving Ursa, the Kryptonian forces and the time machine already established in the larger Superman continuity. Harley Quinn #65 concludes the Harq Knight Returns arc with Harley's two halves merging back together with little explanation before repositioning her for the upcoming Bad Seeds story with Poison Ivy. Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy #1 introduces Daniel Burroughs, an intelligence operative with statistically abnormal psychic instincts, as Ram V blends espionage, psychic phenomena and occult mystery into a strong Vertigo debut. Finally, Next Level One Shot #1 sends Deadshot on what appears to be a straightforward assassination job only for him to discover a much larger conspiracy involving people who may literally not be themselves, potentially laying the groundwork for both a new Suicide Squad and a larger Next Level crossover. Jace and Rocky also cover this week's collected editions before ranking all 14 books and revealing their Books of the Week.

This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod dig into another week of comics—but first, they take a look at the state of the comic book industry. Are more people actually buying comics? Why is DC's Absolute line dominating comic shops? And what happens to smaller indie titles when stores simply can't afford to keep them on the shelves?Then it's time for the week's reviews, including Absolute Batman #23, Detective Comics #1111, Punisher #7, Conan the Barbarian #33, Shell Shock #1, The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1, and more. Jarrod also catches up with Rook: Exodus, a series that continues to impress with its worldbuilding and incredible artwork.For Picks of the Week, Jarrod discovers an unexpected winner in Black Star #1, while Steve chooses Fire and Ice: Dark Wolf #2, a visually stunning fantasy adventure that may be light on story this issue but delivers where it counts with atmosphere, artwork, coloring, and lettering.Finally, the Lone Wolf and Cub readalong continues with Volume 11. After the intensity of Volume 10, the story slows down for a more emotional and introspective collection that explores Ogami and Daigoro separately before bringing their paths together again. The discussion looks at Daigoro's growing empathy, the symbolism running throughout the volume, and why this decades-old manga continues to feel remarkably timeless.Join us for comic reviews, industry talk, our Picks of the Week, and another journey down the assassin's road with Lone Wolf and Cub.Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe

(Or … “Knightfall - Part Three”!) Bruce Wayne is back in Gotham, but before he can challenge his successor, Azrael, for the mantle of the Batman, he's got to recover his fighting edge. What could go wrong with asking the deadly assassin Lady Shiva to help him retrain? It all leads to a final, dramatic confrontation between Az-Bats and Bruce-Bats, and in the aftermath…the rise of Dick-Bats? Nightwing takes on the cowl in a coda to the entire storyline! We wrap up our look at the KnightSaga, offer our opinions about what works and what doesn't, and ponder the connection of the Breaking of the Bat to the Death of Superman. Also: just how many ninjas is “Too Many Ninjas”?Discussed in this episode: Batman #509-514, Detective Comics #676-681, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #62-63, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #29-34, Robin #8-9 and #11-13, and Catwoman #12-13, plus material from Showcase '94 #10Support the show and get essays and bonus episodes at patreon.com/ironageofcomics!

Jace and Rocky break down all five DC releases for the week of July 29, 2026. DC's Hawk Girl Summer #1 delivers an entertaining mix of standalone stories that give several underused DC characters a chance to shine, including great stories starring The Shining Knight and Kid Eternity. In Batman/Superman: World's Finest 2026 Annual #1, after the Flash, Batman and Superman all become trapped by the same villainous setup, Alfred and Pa Kent are the ones who figure out how to save them. In Justice League: Knightvision #1, Batman and Lex Luthor pursue Prometheus after their shared vision, while his use of Apokoliptian technology plants more seeds for Darkseid's next move against the heroes of the DC Universe. Detective Comics 2026 Annual #1 pairs a comedic Black Mercy story involving Batman and Lobo with a much darker Professor Pyg backup, giving readers two very different but entertaining stories. In Superman 2026 Annual: Year 1000 #1, Superman's decision to restore every version of the Legion gives the Darkseid-controlled Legion a chance at redemption while placing all of the team's different incarnations back on the table. They also discuss San Diego Comic-Con, the convention's lighter slate of major announcements, Jace's upcoming interviews with Joshua Williamson, Hayden Sherman and Christopher Cantwell, and the success of the Ignition Press pavilion. As always, Jace and Rocky rank every reviewed book and reveal their Books of the Week.

In this episode, Chris gives a eulogy to Archie Goodwin and the final MANHUNTER story, the one Goodwin plotted but never lived to script. Walt Simonson drew it anyway. Every page. Without a single word.  "The Final Chapter" first appeared in 1999's MANHUNTER: THE SPECIAL EDITION, collecting the Goodwin/Simonson run from DETECTIVE COMICS no. 437-443.  COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! is a deep dive into ‘80s comics (plus a few notable exceptions). In this weekly podcast, screenwriters Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) and Christopher Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) discuss their favorite books, runs, and creators from the Bronze Age.  Join our CRYB!

Jace and Rocky break down all 14 DC releases for the week of July 22, 2026. Green Lantern #37 shows Kyle Rayner and Odyssey both learning you should never feed the trolls when Odyssey's online feud spills into the real world. Harley Quinn #64 reveals the mastermind behind the Harley Quinn Revenge Squad and proves Harley is her own worst enemy. Superman #40 uses Superboy-Prime to show that even after redemption begins, the consequences of your past never disappear. Justice League Unlimited #21 has the League finally turn the tables on Brainiac Queen with a surprise plan from Red Tornado and the Atom, while Batman and Lex learn they have something in common regarding the consequences of the Omega Tournament. Superman: Father of Tomorrow #3 shows Lex Luthor's decision to abandon science for sorcery perfectly highlighting the series' central debate over power and responsibility. Absolute Wonder Woman #22 has Barbara Minerva willingly surrender herself to Urzkartaga, but her true objective remains a mystery. The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Kane Mystery #6 sends Ezra Kane into the skies in a biplane for a cinematic showdown with Nazi automatons that delivers the pulp-adventure ending the series promised. Swamp Thing (1989) #4 gives Swamp Thing and Abigail a hopeful ending by leaving multiversal versions of themselves behind. Dark Knights of Steel: Heir to the Sea #1 highlights Arthur Curry taking Superman's place as the extraordinary child raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent. Absolute Superman #21 delivers a perfect balance of action and character as Superman shows just how much he cares about the people who can slip through the cracks as much as he cares about world-ending threats like King Shazam. Zatanna #4 has Zatanna learn firsthand from previous Prime Magi that the role isn't what she thought it was. The Flash #35 has Wally learn that with enough data he can stop anything bad from occurring in Central City—but should he be watching everyone? And what happens when he tries to expand that to Metropolis? Action Comics #1100 ends its time-travel story with Superboy coming face-to-face with his older self, while a surprise return from a classic Superman villain leads into the next big event for the Superman Family. Detective Comics #1111 has Batman's investigation uncover the terrifying truth behind the force manipulating generations of the Prion family, and his vow to save them proves the lasting impact Prion had during his brief time with Batman. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.

This week on Panel Chewing, we kick things off by discussing one of the biggest stories in comics: Marvel Comics' decision to relocate its publishing division from New York to Burbank, California.

We dive into books including Absolute Green Arrow, The City Beneath Her Feet #3, Babs: The Long Road South, 100 Bullets: The U.S. of Anger, Fire and Ice: Dark Wolf, Detective Comics #1110, The Last Starfighter, Minor Arcana #16, Worldtree #21, Conan the Barbarian #32, and Witness Point #1, before revealing our Picks of the Week.Finally, we continue our Lone Wolf and Cub readalong with Volume 8: Chains of Death, exploring its unforgettable standalone stories, powerful themes of honor and vengeance, striking artwork, and the fascinating flashbacks that shed new light on Ogami Itto's past.Whether you're following the latest releases or reading alongside us through one of manga's greatest classics, thanks for joining us for another episode of Panel Chewing!Page Chewing BlogBecome a Page Chewing MemberPage Chewing ForumJoin Captivate.fmJoin PodMatchPodcast equipment used (Amazon Affiliate links):Rodecaster DuoRode PSA1+ Professional Studio ArmRode Procaster Microphone

In 1939, Detective Comics introduced a new superhero. He was just a man with no superpowers. He only had the mind of a detective and a whole lot of money.  He is a silent guardian, watching over the people of Gotham City. Protecting the good and punishing the evil.  He isn't the comic book hero we deserve, but he is the one we need.  Learn more about the history of Batman on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

(Or … “Knightfall - Part Two”!) There's a new Batman in town, and his name is Jean-Paul Valley, a.k.a. Azrael. While Bruce Wayne is recuperating from a broken back and mounting an international rescue mission, Az-Bats kicks Robin out of the Batcave, alienates Commissioner Gordon, and replaces the cape and cowl with high-tech armor. But his more aggressive attitude has unexpected consequences for the innocent victim of the villain Abattoir. We'll talk about the creators behind the titles involved and how their approaches to showing an out-of-control Batman differ, discuss the pervasive themes of mind control throughout the storyline, and speculate about why for many years DC seemed hesitant to reprint the story of how Bruce Wayne's back actually gets healed.Discussed in this episode: Batman #501-508, Detective Comics #667-675, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #19-20 and #24-28, Catwoman #6-7, Robin #7, plus material from Knightquest: The SearchDonate to the fund to repair Wayne Manor at patreon.com/ironageofcomics

It's been quite a while since we've taken a look at "The Ring of Wax"/"Give 'em the Axe", but it's finally this arc's turn for an examination of its first completed draft script. How well did Jack Paritz and Bob Rodgers do at sticking to Semplian ideas of Batman? Where did they not go into enough detail to get their story across? And what do we notice about a certain Gotham City politician? We begin our multi-part look at this script, which you can see for yourself on our Patreon page!

(Or ... "Knightfall - Part One"!) Now that we've discussed Superman's literal death and rebirth, we come to Batman's symbolic resurrection in the Iron Age: "Knightfall," a mega-epic so sprawling we'll need three episodes to come to grips with it. We begin with the Breaking of the Bat, in which the super-steroid-fueled Bane comes to Gotham City to prove himself the Dark Knight's superior. To do so, he'll unleash all the inmates of Arkham Asylum and wear down a Batman who's already physically and spiritually exhausted. With Bruce Wayne out of the picture, can his chosen successor, Azrael, defeat Bane without going too far? We'll discuss the origins of this arc, spearheaded by editor and legendary writer Denny O'Neil as a way to tell fans of grim ‘n' gritty superhero escalation to be careful what they wish for.Discussed in this episode: Batman #491-500, Detective Comics #659-666, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #16-18, plus material from Showcase ‘93 #7-8Bane might break the BAT, but donating to our Patreon won't break the BANK! patreon.com/ironageofcomics

Alex Paknadel has been a rising star in comics for a few years now, working on back-ups for Detective Comics, the wildly popular Cult of the Lamb, and doing some incredible work at Marvel such as Red Goblin, Cyclops, and the upcoming What If...? Secret Wars. In this episode Dan and Adam dive deep into the recently wrapped up Cyclops mini-series, discussing Paknadel's history with the character, his influences and inspirations, and giving some great insights on what makes the leader of the X-Men such a great character.  We also talk about the experience of working on Cult of the Lamb, the difficulties of revisiting the original Ultimate Universe and the fact that Adam and Alex were currently being boiled alive by the insane heatwave hitting the UK. Cyclops: Seeing Red is available now in single issues and comes out on trade on November 10th, and What If…? Secret Wars releases this Wednesday, June 28th.  Check them both out, and be sure to have a look at our Cyclops review and keep an eye out for our Secret Wars review coming this week!

Jace and Rocky break down all 17 DC releases for the week of June 24, 2026. They discuss Detective Comics #1100, where Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary continue investigating Prion's past while the mystery surrounding the young assassin tied to his grave becomes more complicated. Bizarro Year None #2 follows Perry White and Jimmy Olsen as they try to understand the strange rules of Bizarro's square world as the series begins framing this as a distorted Bizarro origin story. Harley Quinn #63 continues Harley's darker current direction as the monochromatic infection and her fractured emotional state push her further from the zanier version of the character. Absolute Superman #20 returns with a massive battle against King Shazam as Superman, Steel and Hawkman are forced to confront whether overwhelming power can be stopped without sacrificing innocent lives. Green Lantern #36 reconnects Kyle Rayner and Jade while Odyssey's identity and past remain in question. Gotham Academy: First Year #5 follows Olive Silverlock's nightmare as it forces her to confront fears about her mother's legacy while Batman and the Gotham Academy cast move closer to the final issue. Absolute Wonder Woman #21 focuses on Absolute Wonder Woman's time in Hell separating her from Barbara Minerva, whose captivity and connection to a dangerous feline god open new questions about her future. The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #5 sees Ezra Cain's pulp adventure escalate into a Nazi-blimp action sequence that leans hard into the series' darker Indiana Jones energy. Flash #34 has Ryan North explain Flash's new precognitive ability through data, speed and probability while keeping the story light, accessible and emotionally grounded. Superman #39 pushes Superboy-Prime through multiple comic-book realities as Manchester Black tests whether he has truly changed, while Dan Mora shifts art styles to match each world. Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 sees Jor-El refuse to let Kryptonian technology be used for weapons while Lex Luthor secretly moves forward with non-lethal weapon development, and the issue brings in Klarion and John Constantine as magic emerges as a weakness for this version of Superman. Wonder Woman #34 brings Wonder War to Diana's confrontation with Matriarch, as the fight centers on whether Wonder Woman's willpower can overcome a Green Lantern ring that Matriarch has spent years forcing to obey her. The issue also ends with Diana making a drastic choice involving the God Killer sword. Justice League Unlimited #20 has Wonder Woman nearly reach Brainiac Queen before Lex Luthor's arrogance and his use of Warp ruin the Justice League's chance to turn her, leaving her missing and possibly setting up a "Cyber Earth" timeline. Swamp Thing 1989 #3 brings Rick Veitch's long-delayed story to its most epic chapter yet, with Swamp Thing existing across different points in DC history and Darkseid appearing in a way that fits the elemental scope of the story. Zatanna #3 pits Zatanna against Agent Di Manes, whose power of quietude suppresses her voice and directly attacks the way she uses magic, while the story also involves Elodi and a muse spirit tied to a dead singer. Summer of Supergirl Special #1 continues from Lobo #4, putting Supergirl and Lobo on trial while Crush, Krypto and Dawg get pulled into the chaos, and the special also includes a Supergirl/Mary Marvel team-up plus a Mark Waid story connecting different versions of Supergirl's history. Justice League: Dream Girls #4 concludes with the Justice League apologizing to Galaxy and giving her mission leader rank, while Dreamer chooses not to join the League yet because she still needs to understand her powers on her own. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.
