ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to our second annual Legacyvember, Somebody-Kill-Me-November, Thanks-for-killing-my-favorite-characters-giving extravaganza. This month, we're talking Green Lantern. In the 90s, Green Lantern went crazy, killed everybody, and was radically re-imagined as another 5'10" white guy with dark hair! So progressive! Plus the origin of the trope "Fridging," when a female character is brutalized to motivate a male character! So progressive!
Read along: Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight and A New Dawn by Ron Marz and Darryl Banks
On this episode, we finally reveal just where the term "fridging" comes from, everyone's favorite sexist trope! It's been a year since we talked about The Death and Return of Superman. What happened next for Green Lantern after his city was destroyed? And how was it different from the last time a new Green Lantern showed up? Sly brings back his lore corner! Ryan really spent a lot of time talking about this story in college. Phil reveals his true superhero alter identity, The Hobo! Darryl's been waiting to see if this story lives up to the hype for years. Does it?
Content Warning: This episode heavily discusses brutal violence against women.

It's Part 2 of our Annual Thanks-for-killing-my-favorite-character-giving special! This one relies pretty heavily on our last episode, where Green Lantern went crazy and murdered everyone, so make sure you listen to that one first! This picks up a few years after that tragedy and picks up…
On this episode, the gang let Darryl pick the book we read. Last time he picked one, it was an existential horror manga that stuck with us for months. This time, it's a super extreme 90s Marvel book that probably would've fit in better during Edgelord August. Apparently Death's Head II is a rich ch…
Happy new year! We look to the future, 2099, and see what Marvel thought it would look like. Pretty frickin' awesome, if you ask me. A world of complete privatization and one liners. What more could you want? The Punisher killing everyone? Because he's here, too.

On this episode, the gang asks the question, what would Archie be like if there were zombies? And the universe answers back... totally rad. Except for maybe the Archie part.
