We kick off our Gail Simone series with “All-New Atom.” We blab about the writer’s balance between plot and character, the difficulties of sci-fi heroes, and if course, Ryan Choi’s Asian credentials. Why aren’t there more Asian characters, and how does Simone make her minority character work? For more information on past or future episodes, visit www.atomicpoweredsupercast.com!
We finish up our space god thing arc with DC’s side of the Kirby Coin: the Darkseid, Orion, and the Fourth World in “Orion: Gates of Apokolips.” In Walt Simonson’s deceptively sleepy little trade, the lord of Apokolips brings an entire town under his control while Orion races after him for a climactic fight that just may be one of the best throwdowns in all of superhero comics. Seriously, issue five is jaw-droppingly good. For more information on past or upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
Our “52” extravaganza continues with a second installment covering volume two of the epic series. Listen in as we discuss the continuing saga of the Black Marvel family, the Question, and John and Natasha Irons. We also discuss the death of Booster Gold and the turning of Skeets, and so much more. For more information on past or upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.
