Starting this week, we’re going to take a look at some of the works of the late, great Dwayne McDuffie. As a creator he’s maybe not as famously known as some of the headline writers of the big two, but his influence on the comic book industry is undeniable. We start off by reading “Rebirth of the Cool,” a trade paperback featuring McDuffie’s own creation, Static Shock. It’s co-written with Robert L. Washington III and drawn by Jon Paul Leon and Steve Mitchell. For more information about previous and upcoming shows, check out the show schedule at www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.

We wrap up our Thorcules Arc with the titular trade, “The Mighty Thorcules,” a collection of hilarious issues from the comic The Incredible Hercules, by Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, Reilly Brown, and Rodney Buchemi. It’s a lot of creators, but it’s a lot of worth it as well. Also, you try and pronounce “Alflyse of Svartalfheim.” For more info about upcoming or previous episodes, check out the show schedule on our website, www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.

The Mighty God of Thunder leaps into the middle of our Thorcules arc in “Thor Visionaries: Walter Simonson, Vol. 3.” We spend a good amount of time marveling at the myriad references and allusions to classic Norse culture and mythology, bemoan the existence of the Power Pack (seriously?), and swoon for Volstagg.
