496 - FCF: Boxers & Saints

<p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For this month’s Four-Color Flashback, Paul and Arlo tackle a blindspot from one of their favorite writers. Gene Luen Yang, author of Gobbledyfaves like American Born Chinese and Avatar: The Last Airbender, tells the brutal story of the Boxer Rebellion in Boxers & Saints. The graphic novel duology delves into complex subjects like faith, spirituality, nationalism, and fascism; we cover ‘em all, hopefully in something resembling depth. Plus, Arlo returns to the city of Metropolis for more Superman comics, including mega-event The Death and Return of Superman and Grant Morrison & Mark Waid’s JLA run. </span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>  </strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">NEXT: we find our inner Greenwich Village folksters with a Geek Challenge featuring Noah Kahan’s Stick Season and Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> <br /> <br /></strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">BREAKDOWN</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">00:00:30  -  Intro / Arlo’s Adventures of Superman</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">00:36:45  -  Boxers & Saints</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">02:20:14  -  Outro / Next</span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> <br /> <br /></strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">MUSIC</span></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="prese
