For our 99th episode, we read the digital-only series “Ame-Comi” by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. Inspired by a series of statuettes, the comic creates an alternate DC Universe where all the superheroes are women. The result is an incredibly interesting commentary on comics today. We also take a good chunk of time for an in-depth discussion of the digital comics experience. For more information on past or future shows, visit www.atomicpoweredsupercast.com!

Our Manga series concludes with one of the best ever written in the genre, “Fullmetal Alchemist” by Hiromu Arakawa. We discuss the Elric brothers, our love for the minor characters, and (because it’s a manga) trains. For information about past or upcoming shows, check out www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.
