JLA Shogun of Steel

Join us for a captivating journey into alternate realities as we explore the Elseworlds comic JLA: Shogun of Steel. Brandon kicks off the episode with introductions and a humorous metaphor comparing Crystal Pepsi to the quirky nature of Elseworlds stories.

Along the way, we touch on the legacy of Dwayne McDuffie, the cultural significance of Shogun of Steel, and the appeal of historical settings in DC stories. The episode wraps with reflections on Michael Emerson's acting, Superman lore, and recommendations for fans of alternate reality comics.
