Our Flash series wraps up with “Rebirth” by Geoff Johns, a controversial book about the return of Barry Allen after his sudden return to the living in “Final Crisis.” We talk about the decision to boot Wally West in favor of a character who hasn’t been in the DCU for a couple decades. Plus, we delve into the character of Barry Allen, Hourman’s cojones, and how Professor Zoom liked to invent new modes of time travel to push people down stairs.

A Cimmerian warrior leaves his homeland after a mysterious event and travels the world in search of paradise only to find a warrior’s hell on earth. This sword and sorcery comic surprised us with its depth, great storytelling, and lack of Kevin Sorbo. For more information on past and future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!

Our “Hosts’ Choice” series starts with a bang as we read the first three issues of “Creator-Owned Heroes,” a unique title by Jimmy Palmiotti & friends combining ongoing comic book stories with interviews and editorials. We discuss the merits and drawbacks of the innovative format along with our hopes for the future of this format. There might be an accidental feminism rant in there, too. But hey! There are two dystopias in one – American Muscle’s in-your-face action and Trigger Girl’s slick style. Man, how good is Phil Noto’s art?
