BATWING_20

SuperPowerCast returns in a new format and a new plan for “almost weekly” podcasting! Nicholas Ahlhelm and Tommy Zimmer run down reviews of comics that shipped in the first two weeks of May. Plus we talk the news of a favorite title’s cancellation, Marvel’s first animated feature film and we end the show (conveniently for folks that have yet to see it) with an in depth review of Marvel Studios’s Iron Man 3! We even have a visit by the Mandarin himself.

Books reviewed:

Batman 20
Batman & Red Hood 20
Batwing 20
Dragonfly
Justice League of America 3
The Movement 1

News: Disney’s Big Hero 6 First Look
