POA5: Kid Fisto

In this episode Kiwi is able to pull the name of the Star Wars race that Kit Fisto is out of his ass which is the type of crazy feat you come here for. That's right, it's another serving of DC's Absolute comics about those famous superheroes: Batman, Superman, and of course none other than Wonder Woman her very self. We have a lot of good things to say about them, and who knows, maybe we even get a little bit crazy with it - much like those dastardly Party Animals that Absolute Batman has to deal with. So settle in, and enjoy the show! The comics are Absolute Superman 4, Absolute Batman 5 and Absolute Wonder Woman 5 by the way.

HOU5: Vampire Wolverine Says The Mummies Smell Good

Who is the Ultimate Winter Soldier? Are Wolverine and Nightcrawler in love? (yes) Who is organizing the rejected Children of the Atom? Where are Peter and Harry? And what does an Ultimate Luke Cage look like? Why is there no Black Panther comic this episode? We talk about Ultimate Wolverine 1, Ultimate Spider-Man 13, Ultimate X-Men 11, and Ultimates 9.

Next time we’ll have a new book from all 5 series to check out. So do the reading or don’t listen.

POA4: We Love Being Close to the Dirt

Ya know you miss one episode and you get demoted from host and maybe even the director of the show to just an editor. No shade to editors, certainly not as bad as being eaten and shit out by the Tetracide. This week we cover Absolute Superman 3, Absolute Batman 4, and Absolute Wonder Woman 3 and 4. Our hosts experience Batman’s early days, lament over how much time we’re spending on Krypton and bulk up on their knowledge of Wonder Woman’s history. The books are still great, the hosts are still great, what more could you want.  

Our intro music Is Atarashii Gakko! - Pineapple Kryptonite

Where’s Harry and why’s Peter a little off? What happens when T'Challa finally challenges Moon Knight? What’s the fallout from the Ultimates battle with the Hulk? And who are the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy? Find out as we discuss Ultimate Universe: One Year in, Ultimates 7 and 8, Ultimate Spider-man 12, Ultimate Black Panther 11 and Ultimate X-Men 10.

POA3: Betting It All on Metamorpho

This episode we look at Absolute Wonder Woman 2, Absolute Superman 2 and Absolute Batman 3. What are the threats Batman and Wonder Woman are facing? What’s Steve Trevor's baby face up to? Who would actually enjoy writing something out and not using AI? Wait, I'm enjoying writing this out right now. We also dig into the Superman trailer and the death of Sony's superhero franchise. Plus: our favorite comics of 2024!

HOU3: When the Rizzler Finds the MeatCase

This week we deal with a shocking loss. Batman killed the Rizzler and Gotham's never been more dangerous. Thankfully we only talk about Marvel on the podcast. How many people have figured out Peter's secret? Can the Ultimates stand up to the Ultimate Hulk? How do we feel about the new Sorceress Supreme with a totally unique outfit and design? And some Kraven the Hunter nonsense up top (this episode was recorded before the release of Kraven the Hunter). 

Comics discussed: Ultimates 6, Ultimate Black Panther 10, Ultimate X-Men 9, Ultimate Spider-Man 11.

Recommendations: 20th Century Men, The Strange Death of Captain America, Hundreds of Beavers, The Power Fantasy

Our intro music was Catching Smoke by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard and our outro was One Beer by MF Doom.

POA2: The Superfriends Are Here

The Superfriends are here and guess what, they're HUGE! And so are your hosts, as we look at Absolute Wonder Woman 1, Absolute Superman 1 and Absolute Batman 2. What’s it like growing up in hell? And why’d Diana come to Earth? Is Jason Aaron cooking or is Superman too heavy handed? And most importantly: it's poker night! Are you All In?

Editor’s Note: the anti-milf accusations against one of our hosts aren’t true; they were just trying to keep the pace of the show going and did not expect the slander. Of course all of our hosts are pro milf. Bluesky coming soon
