The gang talks about city god-sonas, the most sane comics crossovers, Indigo's cassandra curse, and batgirls!

Pleasantly surprised to hear some love for the "Batgirls" comic! Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown are my favorite DC characters. I quit reading DC for about a decade in part because DC editorial had decided to erase them in one of their big retcons, but hearing that they had a book with them together again lured me back. For more of Cass, you can check out her solo series "Batgirl" (2001-2006), which ran for about 70 issues and had Steph as a supporting character starting for part of the run. (Steph had previously been a long-time supporting character in "Robin" and other Bat-Family books.) For more of Steph, check out "Batgirl" (2009-2011). Both books sold decently well (on par with "Robin") but got canceled seemingly just due to the personal animus of DC Editor-in-Chief Dan DiDio. "Batgirls" also seems to take some elements from the stand-alone graphic novel "Shadow of the Batgirl", which was a sort of alternate continuity take on Cass becoming Batgirl, so that might also be of interest.

I would think comics doing the 2 stories in 1 book thing might be a way to drive more sales. If you see a plot line about a character or thing you don't like you might not buy that book, but if it's paired with another chapter of a plot you do care about then you'll buy the book

They're called "backup stories" and were a popular thing back in the day. DC has been starting to use them again in the last couple decades.

I first moved to the greater Philly area for college and have lived in the City itself for the last nine years. I am not surprised in the slightest that Indigo imagined an OSP and friends neighborhood as rowhouses. But my question is, where will everyone park? Red, regarding your idea that Gritty just congealed in a shadow, his official lore is that he was living under the Wells Fargo Center and emerged after he was disturbed by recent construction. Blue, I worked in City Hall for about 2 and a half years. While I appreciate the building has a beautiful design, it is terrible in the summer because there is no central air conditioning. Individual rooms have AC but the hallways do not, so going anywhere inside the building is cool, hot, cool again. Regarding personifications, there are sculptures all over the exterior representing things like "liberty" and "peace" (plus some sculptures of Africans and Native Americans which probably haven't aged well). Here's some more on those: https://billypenn.com/2021/06/14/philadelphia-city-hall-sculptures-calder-macarthur-building-history-masonry-carving/ Also, there's the curse of William Penn. Before the mid-1980s, there was a "gentleman's agreement" that no structure would be taller than the top of the William Penn Statue on City Hall. That was broken in 1986. For the next 22 years, no professional sports team in Philly won a national championship. When the Comcast Center (the thumb drive building) was finished in 2007, it became the tallest building in the city. The ironworkers attached a mini replica of the Penn statute to the top of it, making his statue was again the highest thing in the City. The next year, the Phillies won the World Series. Curse broken. When the next even taller Comcast skyscraper was built (the one Indigo said in a different podcast looked like a vape), they repeated this process. The Eagles then worn the Superbowl. I'm sure the next skyscraper that is built which is taller than anything else in the city will get this same treatment.

My Aurora-saturated brain saw "city god-sonas" and thought the topic was going to be, like, "If you were a city god, what would your city be like?" Now I want to hear that conversation.

Or just don't live in a city
