Our Death and Return of Superman series lands in emo territory this week with “Funeral for a Friend.” In the wake of Superman’s death, the entire world is trying to find meaning while Supergirl and Lex investigate the disappearance of Superman’s body. We talk about the mourning hero community, the dynamic between Lex & Supergirl, and Mitch. There’s no bonus content here since pretty much all we did was talk post-election politics, and nobody wants to hear that.

We start our Death and Return of Superman series in a logical place: The Death of Superman! This 10-issue megaseries spanning four Superman titles depicts the epic battle between Doomsday and Superman. We talk about how Doomsday works as a villain, Superman’s status as an icon within the world of the comic itself, and the event that was the Death of the First Superhero. Plus, Andy’s started a rewatch of Stargate.

Our Netflix Source series wraps up as we read “Defenders: Indefensible” by J.M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen, and Kevin Maguire. This comic has nothing to do with the Netflix shows coming out this fall, but it does bring the laughs as Dr. Strange, the Hulk, and Namor battle against Dormammu and Umar! We talk about the incredibly good art, the Hulk getting laid, and all the bits that made us laugh. Plus: Clambakes are gross.
