Cape Town Extra: “52 Pick-Up”
Originally published on October 9, 2011.
Jerry and Don are joined by Max and Ryan—whose Independent Comics show premieres next weekend—in this quadruple stuffed episode in which we discuss all 52 of DC’s new comic books. We apologize for the muffled sound, but we promise to make up for it with scintillating and provocative discussion of the works of all the magic makers at DC comics.
We broke the conversation into seven parts, based on the categories DC assigned to the new titles: Batman, Justice League, Dark, Green Lantern, Edge, Young Justice and Superman. We don’t spoil everything, but we do tend to discuss the endings of many books—so be warned!
