Episode 45 - The Savage Time (Justice League S01E24-26)

JLice.jpg

It's time! For! The season one finale! Of! Justice League! That's right folks, today's episode means there's only... like, 300-some-odd episodes of the DCAU to go. Buckle your butts in for temporal shenanigans, as Kobik rewrites reality so that Nick Spencer never penned Secret Empire. As a result of this chrono-meddling, however, the earth's Nazi quotient actually somehow increases, and it's up to the time-and-reality-displaced leaguers to punch each and every one of them.

The boys on the watchtower try to maintain their sanity through the three-parter in order to indicate cogent thoughts through sensibly constructed sentences; they sort of succeed. Astute listeners may note that Cameron's audio is in fact an unabridged audiobook of a military encyclopedia. Rest assured, I did not put the wrong audio track in. This was all he talked about. Also, at one point everyone is really mean to Mitchell for no reason! What the heck, guys.

Your Komix Korner recommendation this week is Darkseid Special #1 (of the Jack Kirby 100 commemorative series) by Mark Evanier and Scott Kolins (among other contributing authors and artists).

Episode 23 - The Brave and the Bold (Justice League S01E13-14)

The full crew returns for an extra-length episode filled with gorillas, mind control, and a concerted effort to kill Zack by the rest of the boys. We finally meet one of the DCAU's greatest villains, Grodd, and Flash finally begins to develop a little bit beyond simply being The Horniest Man Alive. Still pretty dang horny, though. We also discover the mysteries of Mitch's tortellini, go far too in depth on the history of gorillas and struggle to find a single motion picture that Cameron has actually seen.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week is The Old Guard by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez.

Episode 22 - War World (Justice League S01E10-11)

Mitch is out this week, so we-wait hold on, where are you going? C'mon! We still have jokes! Mostly! Join the remaining crew as we visit beautiful War World, perfect for all your violence based tourism needs. In addition to watching Superman make inspiring a societal revolution look easy, we find some distressing similarities between Mongul and the 45th President of the United States, extol the virtues of John Wick and Graham and Zack fly too close to the wrestling sun while Cameron makes them pay for it.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week are Super Sons by Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason and The Wild Storm by Warren Ellis and Jon-Davis Hunt.

Kennedy!
