This week we read “Aquaman: The Trench” by Geoff Johns. This New52 reboot of a classic character has, along with the entire DCnU, wondering what, exactly, does Aquaman do? What kind of guy is he? Are Bob Ross and Alex Ross related? We talk about character, Mera, trench monsters, and other fishy subjects. For more information on past or future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!

We wrap up our Thanos vs. Darkseid series by watching the series finale of Superman: the Animated Series, “Legacy.” In these episodes, Darkseid brainwashes Superman into doing his bidding in an attempt to invade Earth. We talk about Darkseid as a character, the show’s metaphor for the eternal struggle between good & evil, and the challenges of fitting a story this big into an episode this short.

It’s Darkseid’s turn in our Thanos vs. Darkseid competition as we read “JLA: Rock of Ages” by Grant Morrison. This Justice League “classic” from the 90’s flings some of our favorite heroes all over the time stream and lands them in a dystopian future where Darkseid has conquered the earth. But hey, it’s not easy writing a book full of so many characters and just tossing in more Deus ex Machina machines than you can shake a stick at won’t solve the problem even though old superheroes are the best superheroes.
