Its been so long since we last read our double bill of the big man of Geoff Johns at the very start of this podcast, and now we're back with one of his most famous works - Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern. Thanks to the New 52, we get to jump straight in at the last stretch of his saga, so join us as we see what four different levels of experience can piece together coming in pretty cold as we read Green Lantern vol 1: Sinestro by Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke with additional art by Mike Choi and colours by David Baron, Alex Sinclair, Mike Choi and Tony Avina.

As much as we all joked about being commitment phobes to the scale of this undertaking, we made it halfway! A whole half a year of reading New 52 books and talking about them and producing Content about the experience! And now its time for us to be as backwards-looking and nostalgic as DC Comics themselves, and take a look back at what we've read (and maybe forward at what we have to come to). Much thanks to all our listeners, and we hope you enjoy this bonus treat.

We'll be back with your regularly scheduled programming on Wednesday with Batwoman, so keep on listening for a real treat.

Welcome back for another installment of your favourite grindset podcast, as we look in on our good friend and idol Cole Cash, also known as Wildstorm's own Grifter. He's got the schemes, he's got the guns, he's got the goofy red bandana mask, what more could a guy need? Let's go on a journey to see if there is anything more he could need, like quality art and writing, as we dig in on Grifter vol 1: Most Wanted, by Nathan Edmondson, Cafu, Scott Clark and Daniel Sampere with colours by Andrew Dalhouse.
