We're back with a deep dive into the unique and experimental world of DC's Tangent Comics from the late '90s. Imagine a universe where familiar names take on entirely new identities, offering a fresh and innovative take on beloved characters. From the Superman-like Atom to the hauntingly intriguing Green Lantern, these stories challenge the norms of traditional comic book storytelling.
But that's not all! We're also diving into the latest happenings in the comic and gaming industries. We're exploring the exciting new announcements in the Star Wars universe and the significant impact of the ongoing strike by video game actors. These performers, who bring life to our favorite games through voice and motion capture, are taking a stand for better pay and protection against generative AI technologies.
Whether you're a comic book aficionado, a Star Wars enthusiast, or a gaming guru, this episode has something for everyone. Join us as we explore these fascinating topics and share our nerd commendations, including a revisit to the beloved Percy Jackson book series and the emotionally engaging Life is Strange: True Colors game.
