Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s our first Superman episode! We start off our discussion of Superman with Gran Morrison and Frank Quitely’s “All-Star Superman.” With its near-future setting and abstract takes on classic characters, this may be the best Superman story ever told.

Spooky sweet, this week’s comic is “American Vampire” written by Scott Snyder and that book guy, Stephen King. Yeah, Stephen King! So, there’s quite a bit of meat to this Old West meets roaring 20’s tale of vampires reborn. Join us for a rousing discussion of moral ambiguity and creepy sexual undertones. Sexy vampires: you just can’t get away from ’em! For more info on past and upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.
This week, Andy squeals with glee as we kick off our “Beefcake Babes” series with Powergirl: A New Beginning. Written by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti, this trade chronicles Karen Starr’s attempts to re-establish herself as her own heroine in the city she loves — New York. Amanda Conner’s art awes us and we wax poetic about how great it is to see a superhero who isn’t burdened by her powers, but liberated instead.
