Episode 287. We read the 12-issue DC limited series The Human Target, from writer Tom King and artist Greg Smallwood. Christopher Chance is the Human Target, a secret operative you can hire to masquerade as you and take the hits from your enemies. He drinks a poison meant for Lex Luthor and has only 12 days left to live. He's determined to use this time to solve who is behind this assassination attempt, and all signs point to a member of the Justice League International. We discuss how much DC knowledge you need before reading this story, the juxtaposition of classic noir tropes with a bright mid-century art style, and comparisons to the prolific poisoning-based story The Emperor's New Groove.(00:00) - Intro (00:04) - Welcome and banter (03:01) - Non-spoiler thoughts on The Human Target (15:52) - Housekeeping (20:26) - Spoilers!!

BWA-HA-HA! Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatties may not have originally set out to turn DC's signature superteam into a workplace sitcom, but with artist Kevin Maguire they produced a screwball series still treasured by fans. With a roster assembled largely out of desperation and a constantly shifting status quo, Justice League International reinterpreted how the superhero would be perceived in a post-Crisis, post-Watchmen comics landscape by leaning into the absurdity instead of making its subject grimmer and grittier.

While things were getting grim an' gritty in 1980s comics, the antidote was a dose of BWAH-HA-HA, which came in the form of Justice League International.  We take a deep dive into issues #5-8.In the post-Crisis, cold war decade of the '80s, a new Justice League was needed, and while this version of the league took their heroics seriously, it didn't stop them from cracking a joke or two or three or....well, you get the point.  This classic comic re-invented the League for a new era and the inspired creativity of Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire made sure the action and the jokes were fast and furious, sometimes ending in literal punchlines.There's battling, backstabbing, and drama....and that's just amongst the heroes themselves!Needless to say, we had a lot of fun doing this episode.Hosted by Brad Page and Chris Karam

Last week, we talked about the Justice League International. This week, Dick Grayson Tier Patreon backer John Wickham joins us to talk about the other late 80s DC team that spun out of the Legends event, the Suicide Squad. And while the Justice League was mostly comedy, the Squad is not. We read three very different versions of the Squad in a story where Amanda Waller shows her metal, the New 52 origin of Harley Quinn and a Rebirth event where the Suicide Squad faces a Justice League that has moved past the Bwah-Ha-Ha era.

The Justice League International era of the mid-to-late 80s was a sea change for the Justice League franchise. While there were still superheroics, the book became grounded in character based humor; the series was basically a workplace sitcom. And early in the run, Batman was a regular member, basically the grouchy boss who couldn't put up with all these shenanigans. And if you've listened to this show, you know that Will loves nothing more than shenanigans and humor in his Batman comics, right? Right? Ok, this one is going to be something...

Our monthlong celebration of Xmas-themed comics continues with a tribute episode to the late great writer/illustrator Keith Giffen, who passed away in October 2023 at the too-young age of 70. Keith's career touched every corner of superhero comicdom, most notably the longrunning Justice League International series he co-created with J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire. In the first half of this episode, we'll be taking a long, chaotic, tangent-filled look at Keith's character Ambush Bug, culminating in the AMBUSH BUG STOCKING STUFFER xmas one-shot released December 1985. Brace yourself! Then, we'll dive into holiday hijinks with The Main Man himself, Lobo! Keith's most xtreme creation accepts a bounty hunter contract on Santa Claus himself in THE LOBO PARAMILITARY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL from December 1991, before facing the metatextual and literal fallout of that battle in THE AUTHORITY VS LOBO: JINGLE HELL, released December 2003. Rest in peace, Keith Giffen! Thanks for the decades of awesome comics.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your one-stop-shop for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. Although almost half of the episodes of Daredevil: Born Again had been shot when production was halted due to the writer's strike, Marvel Studios has decided to start over! They quietly let go head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman and also released the attached directors as part of a significant creative reboot of the series according to The Hollywood Reporter. The studio is now on the hunt for new writers and directors with a different take. Daredevil is a property that many feel the Netflix show nailed on tone, plot, and writing, and there has been some pushback about the supposed Disneyfication of the darker characters in their appearances thus far on Disney+. New York Comic Con was hosted last week and brought forth a swath of new trailers spanning several different genres, A fresh sneak peek of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live which will premiere in February, A full trailer for Netflix's Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, premiering on November 17, A new look at Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, releasing 2 episodes globally Nov. 17, And The first trailer for the upcoming anime series Dragon Ball: Daima. which is set to premiere in the fall of 2024. With the actors still on strike, comic cons have become more attuned to their name this year and there was a bunch of exciting comic book news released at New York Comic Con. We'll briefly break these down by franchise. Marvel Comics A Miss Minutes comic was teased from Marvel editor-in-chief C.B. Celbuski. Artist Peach Momoko is the creative force behind a new Ultimate X-Men series and Marvel is also launching the first Ultimate Black Panther series. The mainstream Marvel Universe is heading toward a vampire-themed crossover event written by Avengers author Jed McKay. Scarlet Witch and Quiksilver will be getting a new comic run in 2024 celebrating the duo's 60th anniversary and will be an evolution of the current ongoing Scarlet Witch series by Steve Orlando and Lorenzo Tammetta.. DC Comics Return of the Elseworlds announced as an imprint, with no less than six new series. DC will reprint Batman #428 - the issue that killed Jason Todd's Robin - the new reprint will be an alternate version. We'll be Getting a John Constantine/Hellblazer series from Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell. Star Wars/Lucasfilm Publishing Jody House and Timothy Zahn are headlining an adaptation of Zahn's Thrawn: Alliances novel into comic format starting in January.. Marc Bernardin will helm a new Mace Windu miniseries to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, also to begin in January. Lucasfilm also showed covers for some Dark Horse Star Wars comics and announced a new line of graphic novels tackling Qui-Gon Jinn, written by George Mann, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, written by Cecil Castelucci. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse begins streaming on Netflix on October 31. Last week, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers declared that negotiations with SAG-AFTRA are suspended, given that the gap between the parties is “too great.” Netflix has picked up the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy following the show's cancellation by Paramount+ in June. Season 1 which was previously available on Paramount+, will be released on Netflix later in 2023. The second season, currently in production, will debut on Netflix in 2024. In a new copyright filing by Marvel Studios, it's been revealed Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing "Mystery Man" in the upcoming Ironheart series. Previously reported rumors have pointed toward the Borat star playing the villain Mephisto. Keith Giffen, a legendary comic creator known for his work on Justice League International and Legion of Super-Heroes, as well as co-creating characters like Rocket Raccoon, Lobo, and Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle, has passed away at the age of 70.

A comic legend has passed away. Jon and Elliott discuss how Keith Giffen' dark art style and quirky sense of humor made him the backbone of DC comics for a generation, from Legion of Superheroes and Ambush Bug to Justice League International and 52 (not to mention creating Lobo). Plus, the return of Frasier Crane, why Loki is the new Doctor and how to let Batman back into your life. [Ep353]

In this new issue of The Comic Section Podcast, we begin by paying our condolences to the legendary comic creator, Keith Giffen. Giffen was known for his iconic work on titles like Justice League International and Legion of Super-Heroes, as well as co-creating beloved characters such as Rocket Raccoon, Lobo, and Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle. His passing at the age of 70 will be a significant loss to the comic book community, and we reflect on his contributions and impact. Shifting to the world of Hollywood, we covered the recent developments in the entertainment industry. The Hollywood writers' strike officially came to an end when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) voted to ratify its contract with the AMPTP, the organization representing major studios and production companies. However, we discuss how the actors remain on the picket line, with no clear resolution in sight, shedding light on the ongoing labor disputes in the industry. Marvel fans will be in for some noteworthy updates as the podcast reports that Daredevil writers and directors have been fired, signaling a creative reboot for the Disney+ series. This change could potentially bring a fresh direction to the beloved character and show. The future of DC Universe and the casting updates for Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and the rest of the Justice League will be discussed, providing insight into what's in store for DC's cinematic universe. A new research brief from the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative will also be explored, as it tests various factors believed to contribute to box office performance, offering a deeper understanding of the industry's dynamics. Anime enthusiasts will find exciting news as Crunchyroll launches a free 24-Hour anime channel, providing an additional avenue for enjoying their favorite animated series. We also reveal that Miramax has secured the TV rights for 'Halloween' in a broad agreement with Trancas, hinting at the potential expansion of the cinematic universe around this iconic horror franchise. Trailers for upcoming movies will be featured, including A24's 'The Iron Claw' starring Zac Efron and the second trailer for 'Wonka' starring Timothée Chalamet, offering listeners a sneak peek at these highly anticipated films. In the review segment, Rigel will share his thoughts on R.L. Stine's 'Zombietown,' and 'Hulu's No One Will Save You,' providing valuable insights and opinions on these pieces of entertainment. Tune in to The Comic Section Podcast for a comprehensive dive into the latest developments in the world of comics, movies, and entertainment, along with heartfelt remembrance of a comic legend.

That doesn't mean we will be stopping OUR JLI volumes though. From now on we will just be covering what issues we think would make up the next collection. For now though, this episode is our continuation of Keith Giffen, J.M. Dematteis (Justice League America #31-35), Bart Sears & Adam Hughes (Justice League Europe #7-11) JLI series or the “BWAHAHA” Justice League as people now seem to know it. Kevin McGuire had long dropped off by this point having now even stopped on covers but will make one or two appearances in the future.

This week, we're reading the 2022 Human Target limited series by Tom King and Greg Smallwood. You'll remember how much we love Tom King from multiple previous episodes like Mr. Miracle and Superman Woman of Tomorrow. In this latest series, Christopher Chance, aka the Human Target, is on his latest cases protecting Lex Luthor when things go sideways. An assassination attempt Chance didn't see coming leaves him vulnerable and left trying to solve his own murder, as he has 12 days to discover just who in the DC Universe hated Luthor enough to want him dead by slow-acting poison. And the prime suspects happen to be…the Justice League International? In this hard-boiled, seemingly detective noir story Chance find himself interrogating the cast of characters from the famed 1987 series by Keith Giffen. We're talking Ice, Fire, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, G'Nort, Martian Manhunter, Rocket Red, and even...the shadow of the Batman. There are twists and turns, a little bit of love-making, and a whole lot of drinking.

We discuss the first 6 issues of the new Punisher series by Jason Aaron, Jesus Saiz, and Paul Azaceta (Marvel Comics). Plus Daredevil, Justice League International, Alpha Flight, Magic Order, Terrorwar and more.

 We kick off Season 10 and Lantern Month with the prickliest Earth Lantern, GUY GARDNER! How does Doc survive a session with someone like this? Tune in to find out! Intro Welcome back for Season 10 January is Lantern Month Patrons will get an exclusive episode, plus a watch party of the Ryan Reynolds movie Background (4:00) Guy Gardner created by John Broome and Gil Kane in Green Lantern #59 (March 1968) Guy is the child of an abusive alcoholic who regularly beat him, giving him an aggressive nature and a defiance to authority In college, however, he shifts and becomes engaged in social work, and later a teacher for disabled children When Abin Sur's ring sought out a successor, Guy Gardner would have been chosen had he been closer, but since Hal Jordan was in the vicinity of the crash, he was selected He later becomes a reserve Lantern, backing up John Stewart Hal's power battery explodes in his face, trapping him in the Phantom Zone - when he is freed, he is comatose and suffering from brain damage for many years The Guardians revive him and give him a new ring & outfit, and charge him with assembling a team to battle the Anti-Monitor - the brain damage during his coma altered his personality, leaving him immature, arrogant, and violent He is a founding member of the Justice League International, although he chafes against Batman's leadership - Batman knocks him out with one punch, and when he awakens, he is empathetic and caring - until he hits his head again, and he reverts to his abrasive self Loses a fight with Hal and surrenders his ring, but later finds a yellow ring of Sinestro's After losing an eye in another fight with Hal/Parallax, he drinks from the Warrior chalice and unlocks dormant powers hidden in his DNA - he then becomes a shapeshifter that can create weapons from his limbs He is returned to full human in GL Rebirth when the Parallax entity is stripped from the main power battery, and he becomes one of the trainers for the new Corps, later becoming a member of the Honor Guard During Blackest Night & War of the Lanterns, he wears a Red ring and then a Sapphire ring, fueling himself with rage over the death of Kyle Rayner and his love of the Corps New 52 - He gets dismissed from the Corps after the Guardians create the Third Army to replace all Green Lanterns, but regains his ring, and along with Simon Baz & other Lanterns, they defeat the Guardians and restore the Corps Then he joins the Red Lanterns, working as an undercover agent on behalf of the Green Lanterns - he takes over from Atrocitus as leader, and uses his rage against what he felt as disrespect from Hal, John, Kyle, the Guardians, and the Corps Issues - Gotta love ‘em, because otherwise you'll hate ‘em (9:03) All right, so...Guy Gardner. The friend in the group no one really likes that much. The really difficult coworker who's indispensable and you have to try and get along with because you know he's not going anywhere. The guy who never really grew out of his high school jock phase. We've all known a few Guy Gardners in our lives. Some of us may have even been a Guy Gardner at one time and not know it. Guy's really not that much of a mystery. His issues are right there out in the open in big blinking neon letters. Cockiness and abrasive personality. If you aren't aware of how great a Green Lantern, superhero, or a man Guy is, just ask him. He'll be happy to tell you all about it. If you have a disagreement about Guy's assessment of himself, he'll also be happy to correct your misconceptions. Loudly, at first. Violently, if loudly doesn't get the job done. Guy's got an incredibly big mouth and certainly doesn't mind telling you exactly what he thinks of you. This tends to make him more than a little difficult to get along with as a person, and much more difficult as a teammate. It's become a running gag over Guy's time in DC that his fellow Corps members and Justice League teammates are not shy about expressing enjoyment when bad things befall him. Even people like Superman, who'd normally be above such things. No sense of self-preservation. You know that phrase, "your mouth's writing checks your ass can't cash"? Guy's ass has not only stopped payment on the many checks his mouth has written over the years, it's sent his mouth several overdraft notices. It's the primary requirement of a Green Lantern's job description to be able to overcome great fear. One of the reasons Guy is such a great Lantern is that he seems too thick-headed to even understand the concept of fear at all. His default mode is, "you want a piece of me?" and he frequently charges head-first into a fight without any plan other than letting his willpower, gumption, and titanium balls carry the day. And he will often get slapped around for his trouble, not only by more powerful opponents like Doomsday, but baseline humans he picks fistfights with like Hal Jordan and Batman. It really seems like a little bit of healthy rational fear would serve him well. (25:48) Identity wrapped up in being a Green Lantern. Of all the Lanterns we meet and get to know well, Guy loves being part of the Corps and being a superhero maybe more than any of them. Beneath his rough exterior, the times he's been on the outs with the rest of the Corps and stripped of his position absolutely kills him inside. During the War of the Lanterns arc, where he had to learn how to power a violet ring off of love, the only thing that got it working was him proclaiming his love for the Corps, and how he had absolutely nothing without them. Guy is a person who loves his job more than anything else in his life, and doesn't really know how to function when it doesn't love him back. (31:16) Break (40:41) Plugs for Ignorance Was Bliss, Play Comics, and Howard Mackie Treatment (41:53) In-universe - Make Guy think Doc is the best of the best, and then deflate that Out of universe - Real-world equivalents? Come on, the world is full of these people. Men, women, rich, poor, they come from all backgrounds, all walks of life. Pig-headed people who think highly of themselves, think they're always right, and have a hard time making anything more than the most superficial connections with others. People who never really matured as they got older, who love to rag on others way past the point where it stops being funny, who carry jokes way too far, and can't let things go. But for whatever reason, it's easier to keep them around than the alternative. (45:28) Skit Hello Guy, I'm Dr. Issues. - What's up Doc? Not much - I bet you hear that ALL THE TIME. Eh, you get used to it. - Must be tough, dealing with all these whackjobs and nasty bastards all day.  It's not easy, but - I mean it's not like patrolling the whole galaxy or nuthin', but it's a good gig I ‘spose. I do like - Must take a lotta willpower to face all the stuff you see every day. Bet you think you could even wield a power ring, eh? To be honest, I hadn't considered - Well lemme disabuse you of that idea right off the bat. THIS ring is only for the strongest of will. There are a lotta wannabe ring-slingers out there, but the Corps only takes the best o' the best. I should know, they picked me.  I can see - An' I'm so good they let me weed out the softies who can't hack it. Me an' Kilowog, we train all the rookies an' turn ‘em into solid, functioning Lanterns. Not just anyone can do that, ya know. I'm sure - ‘Course if I had full control, there'd be a few folks I'd never have let in the first place. I mean Sinestro, c'mon, you can see from a mile away he's one guy who shoulda never got a ring. His name is friggin' Sinestro, I mean, what's next, a lantern called Evil McMurder? The Smurfs make a lotta mistakes, but that's gotta be up there, top 5 at least. Smurfs? - The Guardians, lil' blue dudes, they created the Corps. They say they don't use emotion, but if you ask me, sometimes they throw logic out the window too. Then again, they put me in charge of stuff, so what's that saying? A blind squirrel finds a nut? I have heard that - I mean, I should be the full-time Lantern for Earth, we don't even need anyone else. The other guys are OK, but if you can have filet mignon, why settle for a sloppy joe? Different folks have - John's alright. Bit too stick in the mud for me sometimes, but he's definitely thorough when it comes to dealing with stuff. A Marine cop architect ain't exactly the kinda guy who's gonna miss details. An' a black guy has seen enough hateful stuff to give him perspective on conflict, I mean i'm sure you get crap all the time. I don't quite see how that's - Kyle's a good kid. He's gotta stop beatin' himself up over every lil' thing, though. He needs better coping skills, ya can't just draw your problems away. I mean he's a great partner, but the crying and whining get old after a while. “Oh i'm a sensitive artist, all my girlfriends die, boo hoo.” If he starts pissin' me off I ask him to get me somethin' outta the fridge from Alex. That shuts him up for a while hahahaha Wow, I don't even know where - An' then there's Jordan. The hotshot. The ace pilot. The pretty boy. If I hadda nickel every time someone fawned over him, I'd be able to afford a nice little place in Pago Pago. He's gotten us inta more scrapes and fights than I can count. Seems like just about every problem the Corps has can be traced back to him, somethin' he did, someone he ticked off, it's almost always Hal. An' he knows it too. What I wouldn't give ta wipe that smug smile offa his mug. Sounds like you've got - Oh an' don't get me wrong, I've tried. More than once, actually. Sonuvabitch always ends up getting me with a lucky shot.  If it's happened more than once - But as much as it pains me ta say it, for every time he's put us in danger, he's saved our ass. Mine, yours, the universe's. He and I have gone toe-to-toe so many times, and no matter what, he's always gonna be the first one ta back me up when it hits the fan. So yeah, I don't like him half the time, but that don't mean I don't respect him. Fact is, he needs me to push him.  How do you - He knows I'm right awn his ass, ready to take his spot if he so much as sneezes the wrong way. John, Kyle, the other kids, hell even the other Lanterns, we're all waiting for him to mess up. And the beauty of it is, ya don't even hafta wait that long, because it's Hal.  That kind of pressure - Makes diamonds? Yeah, that's what it's like in the Corps. We don't have the luxury of second-guessing ourselves. Ya can't be afraid of things, that's kinda the whole point. No fear, willpower, all o' that. When ya been through everything I've been through, fear is a waste o' time.  But fear can - An' all those other colors, the Froot Loops Troops, they can suck an egg.  Other emotions are just as - Yeah, I'm sure you're gonna give me some spiel about the power of emotions, and I'll be honest, I've felt the power of all of ‘em at some point, ‘specially when they're punching you in the face. *whispers* I'd like to punch you in the face -*oblivious* Yeah, I'm used to people being too intimidated to say what they really mean. That ain't me. You know what the world needs more of? People like me to take a stand. Are you sure -I knew you'd agree so I figured I'd give you a shot at bouncing some ideas, I dunno. We don't have someone looking at the big picture. Dare I say, I feel like a grunt even when I'm the main event. Ya don't say -The nerve, right? Some alien overlords treat me like I'm liability when I'm the biggest asset they got *Whispers again* just biggest ass* -Oh man, I must be going deaf, you say somethin? You know doc, you're alright. You know how to listen. You're not like all the others that want to talk down to me or beat me to a pulp. I heard about people like you. You got…whadja call it… Common sense? -No…you actually think about people. Nobody is really brave or stupid enough to do that unless they have a ginormous heart or they're a genius or they're trying to get their head ripped off or something. You just take it all in, waiting for the right time, then BAM you say just the right thing. You told me everything I'll ever need to know in one session. It's awesome. I could do this all day! But I didn't -Oh don't go with the false modesty. This is worth ten times what you charge. I'm tellin all the guys about you. I'll have you on speed dial. All day e'ery day! I don't -Just wait till the guardians learn I really am as badass as I said all along, and I got a doctor to back me up. I wouldn't -Right, need to play that card close to the vest. Damn, you're smart. Well, that's about all I can stand of this. Gonna go catch the O's game, gotta case of Natty Bo's waitin' for me. See ya ‘round Doc! *leaves* *sigh* Why do I even care about jerks like him so much? It's like I'm a magnet for these hard luck cases..

First of all, it is October... so Happy Halloween everyone! For last year's Halloween, we reviewed a movie that we think captures the Halloween spirit rather perfectly: THE MORTUARY COLLECTION. So this year, we're reviewing the cinematic adaptation of a book that does the same for the whole autumn season: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983)! Since this is an adaptation of material we've all read and loved here at the pod, we're doing this review a little differently: we'll discuss the original novel a bit (and Ray Bradbury as a whole) before moving onto the movie. For a work that has influenced the lives of so many readers, it's so appropriate that we're joined by a special guest whose work has shaped the lives of our hosts: J.M. DeMatteis (Moonshadow, Justice League International, Kraven's Last Hunt and much much more)! We've mentioned his work on the pod before, but today Mr. DeMatteis is here to tell us about his new supernatural novella (THE EXCAVATOR) and the Kickstarter for THE DEMULTIVERSE, which will launch with four new first issues! We can't overstate how delightful it was to chat Ray Bradbury with Mr. DeMatteis, and we really hope everyone enjoys the episode. After you've listened to the episode, check out these links for more details on THE DEMULTIVERSE: https://spellboundcomics.com/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spellboundcomics/surprise-four-secret-comics-by-jm-dematteis-demultiverse The novella THE EXCAVATOR is currently available in both paperback and ebook formats courtesy of NeoText. You can find more details on the other works of J.M. DeMatteis at his site: http://www.jmdematteis.com/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!!

After an extended celebration of Batman: The Animated Series 30th Anniversary, the Good Brothers take a trip around the multiverse for a spooky Elseworlds tale from Batman The Brave and The Bold entitled "Shadow of the Bat!" - Hear the hosts discuss the cold open that features "Bat-Ape" and an appropriately vampire-centric story with an infected Batman terrorizing the Justice League International.
