Jokern har inte ett förflutet eller ens en identitet, han har flera som han konstant pendlar mellan. Jimmy Håkansson reflekterar över den leende mannens betydelse i Batmans universum. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2019-09-19.Våren 1940 är det premiär för en ny serietidning. Huvudpersonen Bruce Wayne debuterade egentligen året före, då som en excentrisk miljonär som bearbetar sina föräldrars mord genom att klä ut sig till en fladdermus och bekämpa brott.Men det är i det första numret av “Batman” som vi får träffa en flinande gangster som stjäl juveler och mördar sina offer på exakta klockslag. I slutet av berättelsen drar skurken kniv och gör ett utfall mot den rättrådige hämnaren. Men i stället för att sticka ner hjälten snubblar han och hugger sig själv i bröstet.Det var inte tänkt att Jokern skulle överleva sitt möte med Batman. Han var bara en dussinskurk som läsaren skulle glömma bort i tid till nästa nummer. Men redaktören Whitney Ellsworth såg potentialen i gangsterclownen, och innan tidningen skickades till tryckeriet lät han rita dit en sista bildruta. Det nya avslutet var en hastig efterhandskonstruktion som ställde handlingen på sin ända.Jokern åker iväg med en ambulans där läkaren gör en häpnadsväckande upptäckt: Jokern lever – och kommer att överleva.Och överleva gjorde han. I snart 80 år har figuren som skapades av Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger och Bob Kane varit en grundsten i populärkulturen. Först 2019 fick han sin första egna långfilm, men Jokerns historia har varit föremål för otaliga tolkningar ända sedan 1940. I de flesta av dessa tolkningar återkommer en nyckelscen: Ett misslyckat inbrott i fabriken Ace Chemicals där en man faller ner i en tank med farliga kemikalier som färgar hans hår grönt, bleker hyn vit och förvrider ansiktet till ett permanent grin.I seriealbumet “The killing joke” från 1988 gör Alan Moore en ansats att mänskliggöra superskurken. Här är Jokern ingenjören som säger upp sig från sitt jobb för att satsa på stand up-karriären. Men det går inget vidare och för att försörja sin gravida fru blir han övertalad av två gangsters att genomföra en stöt mot sin före detta arbetsgivare, Ace Chemicals.Men samma dag omkommer frun i en tragisk hushållsolycka. Motvilligt blir han meddragen till fabriken där kuppen går åt skogen och han själv trillar ner i ett syrabad och spolas ut genom ett avloppsrör.En dålig dag kan få vem som helst att tappa sitt moraliska fotfäste menar Jokern i “The killing joke”. För att pröva sin tes utsätter han poliskommissarien James Gordon – Batmans bundsförvant – för en serie grymheter där han bland annat förgriper sig på Gordons dotter och skjuter henne i magen.Alan Moore skildrade Jokern som en moraliskt komplex karaktär på ett aldrig tidigare skådat vis. Men förändring i sig var inget nytt för clownen – det har alltid varit en del av hans repertoar.När Jokern debuterade på 40-talet var han en psykotisk gangster med fedorahatt och kulsprutepistol. Under 50-talet blev serietidningarna anklagade för att vara för våldsamma. Branschen svarade med att starta det självreglerande organet The comics code, och till följd av detta blev Jokern degraderad från livsfarlig polismördare till en barnvänlig pajas som rånade sina offer med skrattgas.Det var inte förrän på 70- och framförallt 80-talet som han hittade tillbaka till sitt ursprungliga mörker. I Jim Starlins “A death in the family” slår Jokern ihjäl Robin med en kofot, och i Frank Millers “Dark knight returns” går han så långt att han tar sitt eget liv bara för att sätta dit Batman för mordet.“The killing joke” må ha mejslat ut en bakgrundshistoria för skurken, men det ska inte misstas för ett facit. Jokern är en opålitlig berättare, och i en betydande scen säger han att han inte ens själv litar på sina minnen."Ibland minns jag det på ett sätt. Ibland på ett annat. Om jag ska ha ett förflutet vill jag ha flera val."Kanske är repliken en subtil pik till serieförlaget DC Comics notoriska skarvande med tidslinjer och kontinuiteter. Sedan 60-talet har DC snärjt in Batmanmytologin i så många alternativa världar, tidsresor och -paradoxer att det är omöjligt att reda ut härvan.I ett parallellt universum är det till exempel Bruce Wayne som skjuts ihjäl i gränden utanför biografen och inte föräldrarna Thomas och Martha. Händelsen utlöser en märklig kedjereaktion som slutar med att Thomas blir Batman och Martha Jokern.“Vill du veta hur jag fick mina ärr?” frågar Heath Ledgers Joker vid flera tillfällen i Christopher Nolans film “The dark knight” och pekar på ärren som vanställer hans mun till ett groteskt flin. Och varje gång får vi en ny förklaring.Vad säger det? Att Jokern inte har ett ursprung – han har flera.Den insikten blir särskilt tydlig när man läser essäsamlingen ”The Joker: A serious study of the clown prince of crime” där ett tjugotal forskare och skribenter försöker komma underfund med vem Jokern verkligen är.En av de medverkande drar paralleller till Lady Gagas postmoderna identitetspussel – även en konstruerad identitet är en identitet. En annan kallar den narrande förbrytaren för en Nietzscheansk övermänniska. Däremellan finns en anekdot om hur Tea party-rörelsen spred bilder på den dåvarande amerikanske presidenten Barack Obama med Jokerns ansiktsmålning. Obamas liberala politik var jämförbar med Jokerns anarki, menade den högerpopulistiska rörelsen.Enligt den slovenske filosofen Slavoj Žižeks analys av ”The dark knight” är Jokern den ende sanningssägaren i en värld där eliten upprätthåller ordningen med ädla lögner.Men den ena teorin tycks tala emot den andra.Så när författaren Mark Waid tolkade Jokerns ursprung i ett seriealbum från 2007 lät han skurken själv spela ut en kortlek där varje spelkort erbjöd en möjlig förklaring. En misslyckad komiker, en obetydlig gangster, ett kriminellt geni.Så? Vem var han? Vilket alternativ var det rätta? “Det beror på hur man blandar korten”, skrattar Jokern och kuperar leken.Att Jokern inte har någon sann identitet understryks av att han till skillnad från sin ärkefiende inte bär en mask. Han behöver ingen mask eftersom han jämfört med Batman är mer naturkraft än människa. Som Brian Azzallero skriver är Jokern en sjukdom. En sjukdom som saknar botemedel. En sjukdom som härjade långt innan Gotham restes och som kommer att fortsätta härja långt efter staden brunnit ner.Men förmodligen lyckades Grant Morrison knäcka nöten redan 1989 i serietidningen “Arkham asylum”. Här berättar en psykolog på Arkhams kombinerade fängelse och mentalsjukhus att hon ägnat år åt att analysera Jokern för att hitta roten till hans identitet och därigenom hans drivkraft. Men arbetet var fruktlöst. Det enda hon kom fram till är att Jokern saknar personlighet och därför måste skapa sig själv från grunden varje dag.Närmare än så lär vi inte komma Jokern som person. Men i och med att hans flyktighet är evig så får han också en betydelse som sträcker sig bortom den enskilda individen. Han blir ondskan som alltid finns där, eller snarare ondskan som vi människor tenderar att återskapa gång på gång, trots alla våra goda avsikter.Att Jokern är livskraftig än i dag beror på att han förvandlas och återföds varje gång han hamnar i händerna på en ny generation berättare. Kanske var det just det Whitney Ellsworth förutspådde när han för 79 år sedan lade till den där sista rutan och för evigt förändrade den populärkulturella historieskrivningen. För en sak är säker. Så länge leken blandas kommer Jokern att leva.Jimmy Håkansson, kulturskribentLitteraturAlan Moore: The killing joke. (DC Comics 1988)Jim Starlin: A death in the family.

Voices in My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 628: Truth, Justice, and the Way - Episode 11: Supergirl - Redemption or Revenge?     This week on Voices in My Head, i'm sharing an episode of my other podcast that I host with David Dault, Truth, Justice and the Way. What happens when a superhero story trades redemption for revenge? In this episode of Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman & Spirituality, Rick Lee James and David Dault explore one of the most surprising changes in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and ask what it reveals about heroism, justice, mercy, and the moral imagination. Comparing the film to Tom King's original graphic novel, they wrestle with questions of violence, forgiveness, redemption, and whether we still believe people can truly change. Along the way, they reflect on Superman's enduring example of hope, the power of storytelling to shape our moral lives, and why the best heroes call us not simply to defeat evil—but to become better people. In This Episode Rick shares the story behind his new single, “Heaven Is Full of Criminals,” featuring Phil Keaggy, and the surprising conversations it has sparked about grace, worthiness, and hope. The theological inspiration behind the song includes the Good Thief, the possibility of redemption, and the question of whether God's welcome extends farther than we imagine. A spoiler-filled discussion of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrowand how its ending differs dramatically from Tom King's acclaimed graphic novel. Why the graphic novel's ending offers a vision of redemption, while the film chooses an act of lethal justice. The idea of redemptive violenceand why so many modern stories assume evil can only be defeated through killing. Superman's refusal to kill and why restraint—not power—has always been one of his defining virtues. Whether James Gunn may be setting up a larger redemption arc for Supergirl as his new DC Universe unfolds. Why stories shape our moral imagination, influencing what we believe is possible for heroes, villains, and ourselves. Mark Waid's famous criticism of Superman killing General Zod in Man of Steel, and why he insists, “That's not Superman.” Comparisons to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Odyssey, Avengers: Infinity War, and the Gospels as examples of stories that wrestle with hope, loss, and redemption. Reflections on Pope Francis, Karl Barth, and the Christian hope that no one is beyond the reach of grace. Why Superman continues to matter—not because he is the strongest hero, but because he refuses to let violence have the final word. A closing reflection inviting listeners to consider how the stories we tell shape the people we become—and whether hope may be the bravest choice of all.   “Heaven Is Full of Criminals” Hear Now       Connect with Rick Lee James Website: RickLeeJames.com Email: Rick@RickLeeJames.com Listen / Subscribe Subscribe, rate, and review Voices in My Head wherever you listen to podcasts.

Felicia Day's new movie,The Guild: Ren Faire’d, funded via Kickstarter, includes a D&D 5.5e campaign setting book and TTRPG created by Hit Point Press, which has already surpassed its funding goals. Justice League Unlimited RPG has launched on Gamefound, marking the first new DC RPG in nearly two decades. Co-authored by Mark Waid, the game allows players to build custom heroes using a variety of origins and powers, with the project already fully written and moving toward production. Chris McDowall is expanding his Bastionland series with Intergalactic Bastionland, a game that departs from traditional sci-fi tropes. Instead of swashbuckling adventures, players take on the roles of crew members aboard a massive starship, navigating a complex hierarchy, office politics, and personal obligations. The game draws inspiration from the claustrophobic atmosphere of Paranoia and the British schooling system, emphasizing a “home base” structure where players troubleshoot issues and occasionally take smaller vessels out for private, time-limited missions. LOOTERS: A Game of Unlicensed Adventure from Mordite Press offers a unique twist on dungeon-crawling by casting players as the brigands, witches, and cultists typically targeted by “heroes.” Designed for one-shot sessions, the game focuses on “smash & grab” gameplay where players must raid dungeons for loot and escape before authorities arrive. The system emphasizes teamwork, inventory management, and careful navigation of dangers. #theguild #justiceleague #bastionland #lootersrpg The Guild TTRPG: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/feliciaday/watchtheguild Justice League Unlimited TTRPG on Gamefound: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/d20-culture/dc-justice-league-unlimited-roleplaying-game LOOTERS, A Game of Unlicensed Adventure: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/573045/looters-smash-grab?affiliate_id=2081746 https://www.mordite.press/projects/looters-a-game-of-unlicensed-adventure/ Mammoth Chronicles Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/L0rK3O Pathfinder Second Edition: Bundle of Frogs! https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/7XLLGg Check this out on Gamefound https://gamefound.com/en/projects/d20-culture/dc-justice-league-unlimited-roleplaying-game Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoIn JLA issues 43-46 Mark Waid and Howard Porter tell a Justice League of America/Batman centric story that dares to reveal one of comic's most severe and disturbing stories of betrayal. The Batman has hidden from his JLA colleagues his secret protocols: devious and cruel methods that would take down each and everyone of them in the event they should go rogue! With "friends" like that..."  Join your Hosts James, Chris and Joe for a scary look inside thehead of the man who is prepared for everything--except perhaps trusting the people he goes to war with. Both James and Chris, relative newcomers to the annals of The Batman when this story came out, remember this it as shocking and earthshaking. Joe was shocked because this tale was so far afield from the camp era Batman he discovered in his childhood. At the time this story hit comic shops in the spring of 2000, most "batmaniacs" were praising The Batman for his brutal and calculating ways! But were they, and your Mint crew, taken in by the histrionics of The Dark Knight, and thus did they subsequently miss the whole point of this story--BETRAYAL!   When the villainous Ra's al Ghul gets possession of these plans,the entire world faces extinction because one obsessed man--abrilliant tactician--could not foresee his "wisdom" being used against him and his friends  The guys take all this into account and even delve into the mind of this tormented loner, and ask the BIG question: Does The Batman have friends?Does he even need friends to carry on his crusade against evil?  As the story progresses, both the JLA members and the planet Earth fight for existence. Naturally a resolution that saves the day is reached, but where does the now exposed Batman stand on terms with colleagues? If you have already read this monumental story, there is a vote to determine if The Batman remains a member of the JLA, if not, some of the yay and nay votes may surprise you, as well as the outcome.   And then there's the bigger question of the future ripplingramifications this story had on The Batman since itspublication.Hopefully after you have listened to this very sober and solemn podcast (Oh, don't worry it's still a fun listen.) wedefinitely would like to hear your thoughts on The Batman's great betrayal. Brilliance, intelligence and tenacity are great qualities to utilize when taking on evil, but a trusted friend at your side is the ultimate asset to winning the day.

Big news out of Marvel Comics today: Stephen Wacker has been named the company's new Editor-in-Chief. Given all the executive changes Marvel has gone through in recent years, it's encouraging to see someone with deep comic book experience taking the reins of the publishing line.Wacker's résumé extends well beyond editing comics. In addition to overseeing some of Marvel's biggest publishing initiatives, he also served as Vice President of Marvel Animation and later as Vice President of Marvel New Media, helping guide projects like the Marvel Audio Universe on SiriusXM, including Wolverine and other serialized Marvel audio dramas.To celebrate the news, we're going back to this 2012 Word Balloon conversation with Stephen. It's a fascinating snapshot of Marvel during one of its most creative periods. We talk about the birth of Spider-Man's Brand New Day era, Dan Slott's early run on Amazing Spider-Man, Greg Rucka's Punisher, and Mark Waid's acclaimed Daredevil. Stephen also gets into the weeds on major crossover events like Spider-Island, Shadowland, and DC's The New 52, while pulling back the curtain on Marvel's creator retreats and the collaborative process behind building the Marvel Universe.Ok, yes, this conversation is now more than a decade old, but I think it still provides a valuable window into how Steve Wacker thinks about comics—how he approaches storytelling, editorial decisions, and working with creators. Until I have the chance to sit down with him again, this interview answers a lot of the questions newer readers may have about the philosophy and instincts of the man now leading Marvel Comics. Enjoy this 2012 conversation with Marvel's new Editor-in-Chief, Stephen Wacker.

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.

In celebration of the new movie release of Supergirl: Women of Tomorrow we are returning to the DC Universe as we review Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. On the eve its 30th Anniversary, Kingdom Come asks many questions around theme of what it heroism and what does it mean to each of us. As each generation of heroes answer the question from their own unique perspective, one hero takes a stand as a role model: Superman. The man of Steel, along with Batman, and Wonder Women question themselves in a world of the future, on the edge of Armageddon, questioning their morals, motivations , and is humanity worth saving? This story is recommended for fans of the Justice League, Superman, the artwork and story telling of Mark Waid and Alex Ross, along with stories that challenge the status quo of the DC Universe. Even 30 years since its release, in our opinion, Kingdom Come still stands as one of the great DC Stories of all time. Read it in the trade paperback, Absolute format, online, check out this incredible Elseworlds(Alternative Universe) tale.

In this episode, the Bandits are joined by #comics legends Mark Waid and Barry Kitson to discuss the enduring legacy of their acclaimed series and the new Empire Deluxe Hardcover crowdfunding campaign on Zoop. The duo looks back on the origins of the project, which dared to ask what happens after the villain wins, and reflects on the challenges and triumphs of bringing the story to life during the turbulent Gorilla Comics era. Mark and Barry share behind-the-scenes stories about developing Golgoth's world, revisiting the series decades later, and assembling the definitive deluxe edition packed with archival material, sketches, and never-before-seen artwork.

Se cumplen 30 años de la publicación de este clásico que marcaría para siempre el devenir del cómic superheroico. Tras varios años de preparación y trabajo, en 1996 vería por fin la luz Kingdom Come, una obra que partiendo de un concepto de Alex Ross fue el fruto de una dialéctica no siempre amable, pero sí intensa y cargada de talento entre él y el guionista Mark Waid. Kingdom Come es una obra coral de todo el universo DC, pero es sobre todo una historia de Superman y, como representante no solo de DC sino de todo el género superheroico, un alegato y reafirmación de éste que llegó en un momento donde sus valores fundamentales habían entrado en decadencia. Kingdom Come marca un antes y un después y será el cómic en el que muchos seguirán mirándose hoy en día, para bien y para mal. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 419 de ELHDLT Selección musical: Kingdom Come, de Manowar Kingdom Come, de Dire Straits

Even a blind man can see that Daredevil has been one of the most consistently compelling heroes in the Marvel Universe despite going through more changes than the real life Hell's Kitchen. But it took some time to get there. Mike takes the boys through his beginnings, the bad times, the weird bad times and the really good times when the fat guy Spider-man fought became the even fatter guy that hates Matt Murdock now.

"In a just world, Mark Waid is the bar, rather than a notable comics writer." ---------- The saying goes that he who is known as an early riser can get out of bed whenever he wants. Similarly, Action Comics #1094, "Our Superboy At War," pushes the limits of what "liberal" storytelling can depict before it crosses the line into conservative jingoism. Because ostensible progressive Mark Waid wrote it, the actions of the hero within must be just and good. The line drawn here is blurry, and what it divides is less important (although just as obscured) as where it ends. And where it begins. ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, TakoTuesday, Joseph, and Knife Money ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are witnessing comic book history with two landmark crossovers that bring the worlds of DC and Marvel crashing together. First up is DC/Marvel: Superman/Spider-Man #1, written by Mark Waid with art by Jorge Jiménez. This highly anticipated team up unites the Man of Steel and the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in a story that blends hope, heroism, and high stakes across two universes. With Waid's deep understanding of both characters and Jiménez's dynamic, larger-than-life visuals, we are breaking down whether this crossover lives up to decades of anticipation. Then we turn to Marvel/DC: Spider-Man/Superman #1, written by Brad Meltzer with art by Pepe Larraz. Flipping the perspective, this companion issue offers a different lens on the same epic collision. Can Meltzer and Larraz deliver a story that explores what makes these heroes timeless while pushing them into uncharted territory together?

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoWell, Spring has sprung! It's time to throw open the back door toMint Condition and let the fresh air in! Join your hosts James and Joe as they catch all the latest buzz that's wafting through the pop culture universe. And that vernal breeze carries a ton of topics to be discussed and disseminated:   Movie and TV trailers ranging from the streets of New York(Spider-Man:Brand New Day), to far off worlds (Supergirl), to middle America tracking two space cops (Lanterns), to Hollywood (Wonder Man), and the "heart and soul" of an avenging android (Visionquest).And as is the case on any spring day, the winds can come from many directions: From the Alpha Quadrant and an examination of Star Trek, and then the entire MCU in general.  And what store chat would be complete without pontificating about our favorite comics? There's the DC comics Superman/Spider-Man crossover to be dissected. Comic artists and writers upping their game to bring dynamic stories to their loyal fans. Dan Mora, Jorge Jimenez, Bruno Redondo, Brian Hitch, Gary Frak, Jeremy Adams, Joshua Williamsion, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns and Jeff Lemire to name a select few who are hitting it out the park.And also a tad of philosophical queries: Can the industry survive if Marvel doesn't up their creative output? And are DC comic fans fed up to their nostrils with one Crisis after another? Can you become allergic to too many reboots?  And if that isn't enough to whet your fanboy appetite, how about a dive into the world of The PBA (Professional Bowlers Association)? The boys critique the new HBOMax mini series "Born to Bowl". Wait? What? Bowling? Yeah! It's a fun, yet detailed look at the life of a pro bowler on the 2025 tour. When James and Joe (a bowling lifer) get done, you will know the names of Kyle Troup. EJ Tackett, and Jason Bemonte. And there will be a pop quiz on axis tilt, oil patterns, skid, hook, roll, and equipment. And if the PBA isn't your bag the NFL, MLB, NBA, and the NHL--and GOALIE fights--manage to come flowingin on a wild flurry of fanatical filler to finish out the episode!   Take your Zyrtec, grab a box of Kleenex, throw on the old AC and enjoy mother nature's green explosion while reading the latest copy of Superman! Hey, it beats 30 inches of snow and an afternoon temperature of six!
