Woke up earlier this morning to a nice surprise.

That time when Batman was infected with mind control spores and Swamp Thing saved Batman's life by entering his body and making him epically vomit.

I don't collect a lot of physical issues, but today I came across Justice League America annual #4 (1990) for only $1.95 and had to pick it up!

This is the extremely funny Justice League Antarctica story featuring the Injustice League and G'nort

These are really humorous comics that put the Justice Leaguers in what can feel like a workplace comedy.

But the book has plenty of serious moments too, and features a team of great artists that convey a lot of emotion and plenty of action when called upon.

'Superman & Lois' using the final moments of its final episode to call back to its prior best moment was brilliant and a real tearjerker.

Despite detours into typical CW melodrama, 'Superman & Lois' knew how to deliver on the big emotional scenes between the titular characters.

πŸ¦‡ I've listened to the entire second season of 'Batman: Unburied' over the last two days and enjoyed it much more than the sluggish first season.

Between 'Riddler: Secrets in the Dark' and now 'Fallen City', this scripted podcast series is now firmly on the right track. 🎧
