Chase is back home, so the Showcase boys assemble at the Secret Lair to record a new batch of episodes! This week, the Star-Spangled Avenger is being “reborn,” so it’s time to take another look at the mythos of Captain America! The guys discuss the history of the charcter, the current Ed Brubaker run, and the future of the men wearing the stars and stripes. In the picks, Mike chooses Irredeemable #4, Blake goes with the obvious and picks Green Lantern #43, and Chase sticks to theme with Captain America #600. This week’s Graphic Novel Pick: Fables Vol. 8: Wolves.

Episode 102: Elseworlds
It’s time for a good old-fashioned listener request! This week, the guys delve into DC Comics’ Elseworlds imprint, the line that brought us such classics as Kingdom Come, Superman/Batman: Generations, The Golden Age and… um… Lobo Annual #2. Well, they can’t all be gems. In the picks this week, Chase digs the new Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips crime comic, Incognito, and Blake is enjoying upcoming Justice Society writers Matthew Sturges and Bill Willingham on House of Mystery!
