Welcome back to the 4 Outsiders' Comics Podcast! On Episode 2, the crew shakes off a "light week" declaration by diving deep into some heavy hitters and hidden gems, sparking passionate debates along the way.

Here’s what’s inside:

• Reviews Galore:

  • Wade explores Geoff Johns' Ghost Machine universe with Red Coat, dissecting its immortal British soldier, time-traveling Northerner, and Civil War intrigue.
  • The biggest debate erupts over Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man! Is Peter Parker's married life and slow burn compelling character work, or just plain boring? The Outsiders are divided!
  • Glen introduces the portal fantasy action of Lost Fantasy, complete with comparisons to Dresden Files, Once & Future, and some surprisingly foul-mouthed dragons.
  • Michael tackles One World Under Doom, questioning Dr. Doom's think tank methods (and the writer's grasp of Red Hulk's gamma mechanics!), plus discusses comedic kaiju tales in Godzilla vs. America.
  • Marc recommends the supernatural procedural String, where a unique ability to see connections leads to mystery.
  • Alluhwi Comics Spotlight: The crew reviews Terror of the Midnight Robber, a unique Trinidadian comic bringing folklore figures to life with a Ghost Rider/Zoro vibe.

• Main Topic Deep Dive: Sliding Timescales vs. Character Aging

  • Should iconic heroes like Batman and Superman remain eternally youthful, or should they age, evolve, and pass on their mantles? The team discusses the pros and cons, touching on legacy characters (Wally West, Kyle Rayner), IP protection, the impact of sidekicks aging while mentors don't, and whether the never-ending soap opera model still works.

Expect the usual passionate opinions, friendly fire, inside jokes (Wade is a Batman stan!), and insightful analysis delivered with a distinct Caribbean perspective.
