Cape Town Community Podcast: Ep. 018 “Do Androids Dream of Electric Stink?”
Originally published on May 22, 2011.
This was a big week fat week for comic books that offered a lot of good reads. Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins expand the Bat-Universe with Batman: Gates of Gotham, James Peatty’s wonderful Supergirl story-arc comes to an end, a cavalcade of fantastic creators offered up trio of fun Rocketeer stories in IDW’s Rocketeer Adventures #1, and Jeff Parker has us wondering what Bruce Banner’s androids sound like in Hulk #33.

Cape Town News Discussion
01:03:28: We opt to focus on a single news rumor this week—that DC might restart most—if not all—of their titles. We share our thoughts on how we would refresh some of DC’s most iconic properties: Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and the Justice League of America.
