The final two episodes of Agatha All Along were released at once, but my conversation with Anne (filling in for Joel) was too long to put out in one go, so this is the penultimate discussion. Secrets galore are uncovered and we get a fight to the death…with Death.
Hey Rio…
Last episode I mentioned the “half-skull/half-flesh” face look for Death. Here’s one example.
It’s Episode 7 of 9, but the Voyage is All Along the Witches Road! Joel and I continue our Deep Dive on the latest MCU show, with quite a bit of discussion on Tarot thanks to some extra expertise from friend of the show Johnnie Breen.
Of course, after the podcast was recorded, they announced an official Tarot deck that you can pre-order now.
Continuing a recurring feature, “Death Becomes You” looks at some of the more unusual deaths in comic books. This time, we look closer at the unfortunate demise of Alex DeWitt, a brief supporting cast member in the Green Lantern title in the 90s. While her death hasn’t had much in the way of repercussions in the DCU, it has led to a new term in this one, and helped bring a new professional comic book writer into the fold. How did that happen? Take a listen and find out!
As promised in the episode, here is a link to the original Women in Refrigerators site inspired by Alex’s death, which helped lead to Gail Simone’s comic book career.
Alex’s first appearance.
And her last…(Thankfully, the colorists helped keep this from being too grotesque)
