The DC3cast!

The DC3cast goes old school and reads four (4) comics this week! Can you believe it? Of those comics, there are good things to say about all of them - can you believe THAT? There's also the usual amount of Tom King and Tom Raney shade thrown, so don't worry about the show changing too much! 

The DC3cast catches up on DC's Free Comic Book Day offering, and looks at two new series that debuted this week.

The boys dig into the weirdness of the nomenclature of this series' main character, lament the Zachary Levi-aping at points, and generally try to make sense of the Marvel Family in 2023.

This week, the boys dig into the start of the new "Green Arrow" miniseries, talk about clunky returns, what the attempted long game is with this book, and divert into Mandalorian and NBA playoffs talk.

This week, the boys check in with Tom Taylor's "Nightwing," praise the artwork of Travis Moore, and discuss Mark Waid's two recently announced DC projects.

The boys took a week off, and so we're sharing the first installment of the 'Untitled Grant Morrison' project, currently running at Patreon.com/dc3cast. Hear Vince and Zach bully Brian for not my a sycophantic Morrison stan, an allusion to Troy McClure, and a tease for what Vince and Brian will do when Zach inevitably quits the show.

On this very nice episode, Zach and Brian walk through the back half of DC's most recent event and discuss where the overall DCU is after it. Will the new powers stick?

This week, Zach is off fighting the Dark Army, leaving Brian and Vince to fend for themselves, and fend they do! Come for 40 minutes on exactly one book, one book that is middling in almost every way! Titles discussed: "Dark Crisis: War Zone" #1

This week, the dream of the 90s is alive at DC Comics. The boys consider two very different status quos from 25ish years ago and discuss how, in so many ways, DC hasn't known what to do with either one.  Titles discussed: "Justice Society of America" #1 "Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special"
