POA7: Hashtag Treat for Martian

Why is the Martian sad? Do you have bad vibes? That sucks, ours are sick. Will Wally ever be able to stand still again? What does Absolute Grodd look like? Is it the end of Kal-El’s backstory? What’s next for Batman? Do you want Fries with that? Will Wonder Woman defeat Hades? Watch out, he's tricky. And of course it’s time for Absolute Green Lantern. What’s even IS the Green Lantern? We talk about Absolute Green Lantern 1, Absolute Flash 2, Absolute Martian Manhunter 2, Absolute Wonder Woman 7, Absolute Superman 6, and Absolute Batman 7,

Our intro music Is Atarashii Gakko! - Pineapple Kryptonite and our outro is Cliffhanger Narration from The Superhero Suite.

Do people actually read these? I’ve never read a podcast description. I’ve been guessing at the format.

HOU7: Reaching Directly Into the Mind

What’s going on with Asgard? Who is Ultimate Sandman? Why is Gambit only using white queens? Vibranium is evil? Where did Hisako go? How did Surge even get there? Are they still the X-Men? This week we discuss Ultimate Wolverine 3, Ultimate Spider-Man 15, Ultimate X-Men 13 & 14, Ultimate Black Panther 14 and Ultimates 11.

POA6: The Deadest Man Alive

Who is John Jones? Is Barry a better dad then Wally’s actual dad? Does Batman finally beat the Black Mask? How’s Wonder Woman doing now that she’s back in hell? Did Krypton really blow up? This episode we cover Absolute Superman 4, Absolute Batman 5, Absolute Wonder Woman 6, along with the launches of Absolute Flash 1 and Absolute Martian Manhunter 1. We’ll try to answer all of those questions but will probably get distracted talking about the Arrowverse along the way.

HOU6: Look at Your Own Screen, It's Not What It Looks Like

Did Hitler really kill himself? What is Kagayama's plan? Can the Winter Soldier remember anything? Is Illyana up to something? Is vibranium evil? Is Mysterio up to something? Did that really happen in Spider-Man did they really do that? We’ll try and answer that while doing our best to avoid MCU tangents. We talk about Ultimate Wolverine 2, Ultimate Spider-Man 14, Ultimate X-Men 12, Ultimate Black Panther 13 and Ultimates 10.

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

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.

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
