Episode 133 – Justice League International Vol. 1 (With Alonso Duralde)

<p>Podcaster <a href="https://twitter.com/ADuralde">Alonso Duralde</a> (Linoleum Knife, Who Shot Ya?, Breakfast All Day, A Film and A Movie) returns to discuss Justice League International by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire, published by DC Comics!</p> <p>Debuting in 1987, Justice League International came out of the gate with a light and often absurd tone that bucked the “grim and gritty” trend of the late 80s, with Batman and a roster of B- and C-list trading zingers as often as they engaged in fisticuffs.</p> <p>This risky move, coming on the heels of the poorly received Justice League Detroit era, restored DC’s premier superhero team to prominence. But is that enough to land it a spot in that Hall of Justice known as ... The Comics Canon?</p> <p><strong>In This Episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The “Snyder Cut” joke we didn’t get to use</li> <li>Is Kevin Maguire the MVP of JLI?</li> <li>Superior Foes of Spider-Man</li> <li>Brother to Brother</li> <li>Cobra Kai</li> <li>The Gray Man</li> <li>Fate (1987)</li> <li>A 5-minute discussion of Zack Snyder’s Justice League</li> <li>The Owls on Culture Podcast</li> <li>Preorder I’ll Be Home for Christmas Movies at your favorite indie bookseller!</li> </ul> <p>Join us in two weeks for Doonesbury: The Long Road Home!</p> <p>Until then:<br /> <a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-comics-canon" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Impress your friends with our Comics Canon merchandise</a>!<br /> <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-comics-canon/id1074541605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rate us on Apple Podcasts</a>!<br /> <a href="mailto:letters@comicscanon.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Send us an email!</a><br /> Hit us up on <a href="https://twitter.com/thecomicscanon" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> or <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/thecomicscanon/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Facebook</a>!</p> <p>And as always, thanks for listening!</p>
