Dear Reader, Season 3 Episode 01: The OG Iliad Part I

November 08, 2024

In the third season premiere, I look at the source material The Iliad by Homer and translated by Emily Wilson. After providing background on the author, and historical/cultural/mythological context, I run through the major players within the epic. I examine the first act of the story (Books I-IX), discussing key or interesting moments after I give a synopsis of each Book. Is Helen, daughter of Zeus, really to blame for the Trojan War? Listen and find out!

November 06, 2024

In this penultimate episode, Shawn and Paul cover the last issue of the Dollar Detective Starring the Batman Family!  But we are not quite done! For our finale next month, we are going to do a retrospective of the entire series.  And for that, we want as much Bat-Cousin participation as possible!  So, we want YOU all to write to us (by November 20, 2024) and tell us your:

  • Favorite All-New Story (other than #13 if that is your favorite)
  • Favorite Reprint Story
  • Favorite Writer
  • Favorite Artist
  • Favorite Cover
  • Favorite Bat-Family History Segment
  • Any other favorite item – food, Gabriel’s Horn item, ad, etc.

You can give us your answer to one or all 7 of those categories, and any other general comments you want to make.  Don’t forget to make comments on #495 as you would normally do as well.

We will incorporate as many of your comments as we can into our big finale next month!  Please leave your answer here on the website or email us at batmanfamilyreunion@gmail.com.  But please send in your answers and comments no later than WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 20.

Thanks for your support of the show and we look forward to everyone’s answers!
