279 Lanterns ep 3 & 4

After a strong opening couple of episodes Lanterns takes us back in time a little to see how wee John Stewart grew up. We do not, in any way, support this method of raising a child. Even one destined to do goofy things with a fancy alient ring. With that behind us we’re back in 2016 as John & Hal close in on the Manhunter and find themselves in a sketchy situation.

278 Lanterns ep 1 & 2

After weeks of superhero cartoons we’ve moved on to HBO’s Lanterns series. A couple of space-cops with a magic ring that can make anything they imagine manifest before them in physical form set out to solve the mystery behind a mass shooting at football stadium in Nebraska. That’s the pitch. Is it a good show? Yes. You should watch it. But also listen to us talk about it.

This week Q takes us to Battle World on My Adventures With Superman. Once that gets sorted out we’re up against the Big Bad. Can Clark get his powers back? Will our gang save the day? Are they going to stick the landing of this fun and unexpectedly thoughtful show?

276 X-Men ‘97 S2 ep 7-9

We wrap out our coverage of X-Men ‘97 Season 2 this week. Thankfully, nothing bad happens to our favourite characters. They mostly spend their time playing super-powered basketball and lounging by the pool.

275 Supergirl (2026)

274 My Adventures with Superman S3 ep 4-6

This week Dan is on assignment and John and Guy are left to fend for themselves. We’re back covering My Adventures with Superman and, hoo boy, does the Man of Steel get his metal tested in this set of episodes. After that we do a little Superhero Sweep and call it a day after not being able to remember anyone’s name.

273 X-Men ‘97 S2E4-6

We ain’t in Kansas anymore, bub! Our attention returns to the next three episode of X-Men ‘97 where we finish up the Rise of Apolocypse arc. spend some time with the Stab Squad, and then visit the Holodeck where things go as you’d expect. Then, in our Super Hero Sweep segment, we discuss the Avengers: Doomsday tailer.

272 My Adventures With Superman S3 Ep 1-3

This week we hop-universes and find ourselves back in Metroplis for season three of My Adventures with Superman. Clark and pals are back as a bunch of Superman-esque types start to appear. It’s a bunch of good fun and laughs and, with any luck, there won’t have a Gambit crossover.

271 X-Men ‘97 S2E1-3

Time travel! We’re going back to ‘97 to rejoin our X-Men, who find themselves separated and trapped in the past and in the future. In ancient Egypt a nacent Apocalypse is just starting to find his strength while in the future his grip on the world is cemented. Meanwhile, in the ’90s, X-Force and X-Factor are being dicks to each other and to everyone else. Can nostalgia carry the day? Read along to find out!
