We start off our Archie Too: Riverdale Boogaloo series by reading “Archie vs. Predator” by Alex de Campi. In this alternate reality Archieverse, a Predator hunter comes to Earth and begins stalking the Riverdale crew. While the entire thing is wrapped in a blanket of ridiculousness, we talk about the surprising complexity of the girl-power ending and the idea of self-awareness constraints in the Archieverse. This comic did a great job giving us exactly what we wanted out of it and so much more.

Our Death and Return of Superman series wraps up as we talk about “The Return of Superman.” In this trade, we finally get the return of Superman from his Kryptonian Healing Matrix, but not until after things really hit the fan. We talk about Cyborg Superman’s subtle lack of development, Lex’s flowing hair and kawaii eyes, and Superboy’s wonderfully horrible punning. Plus, Andy finally started watching Luke Cage!

This week Superman welcomes you to the 90’s with “Reign of the Supermen” as we continue our Death & Return of Superman series. Four new heroes have risen to take up the mantle of Superman after his death, but can any of them really continue such a hefty legacy? We weigh the merits of each inheritor to the throne, talk about the little moments that stand out, and throw Bibbo under the bus. Plus, we talk about the new Vegas Golden Knights and Andy’s new favorite subreddit.
