Crisis On Infinite Midlives


Episode 132: Coke : Pepsi :: Constantine : Doctor Strange

November 07, 2016

This past weekend, Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange opened in theaters, marking not only the latest film in Phase Three, but the first to have an opening credit production logo featuring almost no comic books.

So we discuss the movie, its similarities to Iron Man, how Benedict Cumberbatch's American accent is the enemy of suspension of disbelief, whether Doctor Strange is actually history's greatest villain, how to pronounce The Ancient One's last name, whitewashing and cultural appropriation, and, of course, spotted dick.

We also discuss Avengers #1, written by Mark Waid with art by Mike Del Mundo, and Superman #1, written by Peter Tomasi with art by Patrick Gleason!
