In this week’s anti-bullying episode, The Caped Crusades continue as the spotlight falls on Batman Annual #19.
Apart from being probably the most detailed origin story the Scarecrow has ever received, this issue also serves as a kind of chilling PSA against bullying. If you won’t refrain from bullying because it’s the right thing, you might want to refrain from bullying for, y’know, other reasons. Some of which are detailed in this story.
Separate from all that, this story is not only written by Doug Moench (which really ought to be enough all by itself) but it was also drawn by Bret Blevins. So there’s some serious talent packed into this story.
And the story itself is awesome. You caught that part, right? Because it is awesome.
So what more do you need? Start listening right now before the Scarecrow forces your car off the road.
Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there’s just no time for listener feedback this week. But Magnus has slowly been getting caught up lately. There’s been some feedback recently and there’s more coming soon! So don’t be left out! You too can offer your feeble effort at tribute whenever you want! Yes indeed, you humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader’s ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is trentusmagnus@gmail.com as the other seems to be having technical problems.
In an another sublime act of truly stupendous magnanimity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, requests may be sent to trentusmagnus@gmail.com for the aforementioned corrupt DiManzocorp interns (who probably lack souls) to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that’s a promise!
In this week’s rebooting episode, Magnus launches the start of the beginning of the onset of The Caped Crusades, a megaseries that by all rights probably shouldn’t even be released […]
