Bonus: Helena Reads Justice League: Origin

In anticipation of this blatant betrayal, we recorded a bonus episode for the week she wasn't here. Without any information going in, H sat down and read the first six issues of Geoff Johns & Jim Lee's Justice League from The New 52, and then we talked about it a bunch.

Episode 1: The DC Multiverse
December 08, 2014 17:22 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MBWelcome to Journey Into Misery, where I explain complicated comics characters and concepts to the patient and perpetually perplexed Helena Hart. On this first episode, we decide to start off with something manageable, so we're focusing on the entire DC Multiverse. Going forward, it's going to be important to explain what we mean when we say things like "Pre-Crisis" and "New 52" so instead of adding a disclaimer, we dedicated the first episode to covering as much of it as we could.
