Brett welcomes his good pal Ray Pickersgill to the Fantasti-Lounge to talk Wolverine! We enjoy an Old Fashioned and read the Wolverine Limited Series #1 – 4.  Join us in the Fantasti-Lounge as we discuss: Is Wolverine is cooler in the woods or Japan? Why can’t the Hand beat anybody?

Batman Knightcast 40: Batman Superman World's Finest #3

June 19, 2025 | 2 comments

Same Bat-time, indeed! Batman Knightcast is back again, and this time Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin are joined by Waiting for Doom’s Paul Hix. Why? Because the Doom Patrol brings the ruckus in Batman Superman World’s Finest #3. Also, Robin and Supergirl meet Ancient China’s super team. And there’s probably something going on with Batman and Superman too.

All that, and the Knightcasters subject Paul to the new feature: The World’s Finest Questionnaire! Check it out!
