Our 100th podcast episode of 2025!
Logan Janis and Scotty Scoop from the Mostly Superheroes podcast lead a lively roundtable discussion at GalaxyCon Saint Louis on the top comic books you should be reading. They are joined by Holly Blumenkamp from Apotheosis Comics and Games and James Install from Geek to Me Radio and 2 Rivers Comic-Con. The panel dives into a mix of new and old titles, covering everything from DC's exciting new Absolute line to the current Marvel Ultimates universe, and a deep-cut fan favorite involving the Predator. Topics include character twists, accessible entry points for new readers, and a heavy dose of nostalgia with 80s and non-superhero titles.
