Episode 185: Bring Them Back! Our Dream Comic Book Revivals

About this episode

The episode discusses which comic book characters and series deserve a revival and drafts a dream line-up from various publishers.

Throughout comic book history, publishers have relaunched characters or concepts into new books, but not every character gets the comeback that they deserve. This episode, we play publisher of every comic book company (Marvel, DC Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics and even companies that do not exist anymore) and draft the characters or series we’d bring back to the spotlight. Who would make the cut? From forgotten favorites to overdue revivals, we build our dream line-up.
