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.

Our Grant Morrison episode concludes with Doom Patrol: Crawling from the Wreckage. Join us as we journey to Orqwith on our way to confronting Red Jack. And all that without taking a trip to Weird Ambiguous GenderTown. Seriously, it’s a relief! For more information on past or upcoming episodes, check out www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.

This week we get all kinds of meta with Grant Morrison by reading “Animal Man: Deus Ex Machina.” In one of the most groundbreaking comics ever, the idea of breaking the fourth wall comes at us in all new ways, both literal and metaphorical. The art by Chas Truong fits all the 80’s stereotypes but still finds a way to land the big frames. Really, this is a title full of crazy shit that just so happens to work out wonderfully.
