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.

Our Spider-Man series finishes on a high note, with “Kraven’s Last Hunt.” Written by J.M. DeMatteis and drawn by Mike Zeck, it’s possibly one of the best comic books we’ve ever read, an in-continuity cross-title tale that tromps all over the hallowed literary ground of stand-alones and graphic novels. From the narrative structure, to the delicately balanced art, we audibly salivate over the goodness of this book. For more information on past or future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!

The Infestation comes to a dramatic (ish?) conclusion, rolling through the universes of GI Joe and the Ghostbusters. We talk about some surprisingly good writing, and discuss the differences between books that tie in to major events and books that stay hands-off. Plus, zombie, vampire, technovirus boobs!
