On the mid-season finale of the pod before a short hiatus, I give my Joker: Folie a Deux trailer reaction, talk about OJ Simpson's death, recount Wrestlemania XL and Cody Rhodes' big hero arc, stroll through memory lane via back issues of Wizard Magazine, and then talk about Brad Meltzer's Identity Crisis, The Legion of Super-Heroes (Meltzer & Johns' Lightning Saga, Mark Waid's Threeboot Legion, and Brian Michael Bendis' recent efforts), as well as unpacking the insanity of Mark Millar's work on the Ultimate line over the years.

Let's dig in!
