Ep.11A: Falcon & the Winter Soldier pt.2, Black Lightning S.1, Suicide Squad lineup, industry news, + more!

Happy Monday, folks! This week's "A" episode starts off with Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 discussion, including Isiah Bradley, the Flag Smashers, John Walker, and Zemo! 

As I mentioned in the last episode, I owe it to myself/the universe to watch Black Lightning, especially since I'm watching Superman and Lois. I'm almost done with season 1, so I give some background on the comic versions of the characters and discuss the show as a whole so far. And so far, it's just as good as Superman and Lois, at least!

After reacting to the Suicide Squad trailer from James Gunn last Friday, today I go through each team member for a quick who's-who of cast and characters, then this week's comic book Pull List is joined by Spotlights on Representation of characters of color, LQBTQ+ themes, and women in comics, before heading back into news!

Some MCU concept art leaked last week, so I felt it was worth mentioning, as well as the recent MODOK show casting news and today's Obi-Wan Kenobi cast announcement!

Finally, Comic Con San Diego is making some questionable decisions for fall 2021, but at least the DCEU and MCU lineups for 2022 look unbelievable! No, really. I do expect a few films to get pushed into 2023. Still, it does remain an amazing time to be a nerd. 

I'll be back this Friday, April 2nd, to discuss the best and most noteworthy moments of this week's comic books, as well as whatever industry news might break between now and then! In the meantime, be good to your fellow man, and stay sweaty!
