My guest this week is Tom Higgins! What's the best era of Fantastic Four? When was Iron Man still drinking? What were EC Comics? Who is Flex Mentallo? What is The Maxx about? How great is the library? How did Tom get his kids into comics? What is The Invisibles about? When will we get a good Galactus on screen? How did Zack Snyder screw up Batman? How is Batman "the story of a man and his children"? Superheroes don't kill... but is everyone a superhero? Is Batman a bad father? Is it ok that The Boys tv show is different from the comics? Are we done with the Skywalkers? How good is We3?
