Our Gail Simone arc continues as we read “Secret Six: Unhinged.” We mull over these bad guys’ surprising depth of character, Nicola Scott’s awesome face work, and Simone’s awesome ability to balance cheery tone with truly frightening themes.

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!
Hulk lands on the savage planet of SAKAAR! “Planet Hulk” by Greg Pak breaks our misconceptions about Hulk comics, giving us a character whose complexity is highlighted through his own simplicity. And while a lot of this comic is a fun ride, it rips your heart out fast and brutal before you even know what’s going on. Seriously, this is a great comic.
