Critiquing Comics #250: "Ra no Tabi" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, it was probably inevitable: we were sent a comic made with A.I. The human creator cops to using it for the art, but the story also as an A.I. feel. Is it any good? Is it ethical to present it as "art"? Tim and Adam discuss. Brought to you by: Checkered Past podcast Our supporters on Patreon

Consider the Incredible Hulk . He's often referred to as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the Marvel Universe. But is he really Jekyll and Hyde on a deep level? Paul has been studying the early Hulk comics, looking at the various framings that were tried soon after the character's debut. Does Banner turn to Hulk when the sun goes down? Can he become Hulk whenever he wants? Does Rick Jones have hypnotic control over the Hulk? These were all tried in the wacky six-issue run of Hulk's book in 1962 an
#882 "Supergirl" vs. "Woman of Tomorrow" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This summer's Supergirl movie, while not nearly as good as sliced bread, was compelling enough to make Tim curious as to how it compares with the comic it's based on, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. Tim recruited Emmet to join in and consider questions such as: Why did this movie get made? How do we feel about the original comic? Is the movie a good adaptation? Did the story changes to the film hurt or help it? Here's that discussion! Comic Tropes video on Bilquis Eve
