After Jimmy finished reading Hawkgirl: Once upon a Galaxy, he had to invite Jadzia Axelrod onto the podcast. Not only is her Hawkgirl run with Amancay Nahuelpan tremendous, it is now canon that Kendra is a Philadelphia Eagles fan and her "Go Birds!" may be the first in DC Comics history. Of course, Jadzia and Jimmy discuss Galaxy: The Prettiest Star, Galaxy's appearance in Hawkgirl, and Jadzia teases the just announced Galaxy: As the World Falls Down! This is a fantastic conversation about comics, but don't miss Jadzia discussing the development of the Metropolis hot dog. Go Birds!

Galaxy: As The World Falls Down!
From the publisher
The highly anticipated sequel to the YA trans coming-out graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star brings more romance, more action, and more queer joy as Taylor faces her biggest fear: the Vane.
Taylor Barzelay is finally living as her authentic self, a purple alien space princess with blue hair and superpowers. With a loving girlfriend, Kat, and an adorable talking corgi that doubles as a bodyguard, Taylor should feel more at home on Earth than ever. So why doesn’t she?
As Kat plans for life after high school, Taylor begins to wonder what the future holds for her. Despite dealing with bigots in her hometown, protecting her friend Nia Nal from an evil alien aunt, and honing her powers more than ever before, Taylor still isn’t sure she can claim her identity as the superhero Galaxy.
When the Vane, an alien race that destroyed her home planet, finally arrive on earth in search of Taylor, her biggest fear becomes reality. If Superman can’t even handle this threat, what chance does Taylor have to save her best friend, the love of her life, and the entire world?! Will she cast aside any doubt in time to become the hero she was always destined to be?
