Zack, Charlotte, and special guest Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou continue our first miniseries on Superhero Subversions with a discussion of Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard’s Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt (2019)

Topics discussed:

– Does Peter Cannon make a successful argument for fresh modes of comic creation?

– How valuable is the legacy of Watchmen?

– What kind of creative expression does a letterer bring to a comic?

Please check out Panel X Panel! With no hyperbole, I think it is the best place for high quality comics criticism out there. Huge thanks to Hass for guesting on this episode!

Upcoming episodes in our Superhero Subversion miniseries:
– The Boys, 2006

– Miracleman, 1982

– Sleeper, 2003
