Show Notes
Charlie and Christian examine DC Comics' latest attempt to reinvent their publishing line. Is it really about defeating despair with hope, as writer/executive Geoff Johns has said? And is this friendly to new readers? We also look at the ethical implications of using characters from "Watchmen" in an attempt to create a shared universe with an emotionally compelling narrative.
