    Black Condor (Audio Version)
    Jun 9 2025
    Welcome to a very special anniversary edition of Bros, Foes & Heroes! This week, Zach takes Mike back to where it all started—with the hilariously bizarre tale of Black Condor: a man raised by birds who somehow ends up flying, fighting crime, and serving as a U.S. Senator. We dive into his wild Golden Age origin, fight scenes with kite men, a tragic Father Pierre, questionable fashion choices, and a whole lot of “what were they thinking?” comic panels. It’s chaotic, it’s nostalgic, and it’s very Bros, Foes & Heroes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Spider-Man: The Death Of Jean DeWolff (Audio Version)

    Spider-Man: The Death Of Jean DeWolff (Audio Version)
    Jun 2 2025
    This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we take a sharp turn into one of the darkest Spider-Man stories ever told: The Death of Jean DeWolff. In honor of the late, great Peter David — the writer behind this brutal and emotional arc — we dig into the moment where everything breaks: Spider-Man, Daredevil, the system… and the reader’s expectations. This isn’t just a whodunit. It’s a street-level thriller with religious trauma, guilt, and a masked killer known as the Sin-Eater. We break down how this story flipped Spidey’s usual tone on its head, gave Daredevil some of his best moments, and pushed Peter Parker to his absolute edge. The Spectacular Spider-Man Issues: 107–110 (1985–86, Marvel Comics) Writer: Peter David Artist: Rich Buckler Inkers: Brett Breeding, Josef Rubinstein Letterer: Rick Parker Colorist: Bob Sharen Editor: Jim Owsley Learn more about your ad choices.

    May 20 2025
    This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike take a look at one of the wildest “What ifs” in comic book history: Just Imagine: Stan Lee’s Batman. What happens when the co-creator of the Marvel Universe rewrites DC’s Dark Knight from scratch? You get Wayne Williams — a wrestler, revenge-driven vigilante in a bat-suit who might also be a celebrity cereal mascot. We dig into the redesign, the origin story, and the wild choices that make this version of Batman feel unmistakably like Stan’s.

When teenager Robby Reed stumbles upon a mysterious alien device shaped like a rotary dial (yes, really), he gains the ability to transform into an entirely new superhero every time he dials H-E-R-O. What could go wrong with powers you don’t choose, wild villains, and a transformation system more confusing than your grandma’s landline? Zach and Mike break it all down — one random superhero at a time. House of Mystery Issue #156 (DC Comics, 1966) "Dial H for Hero!"

    Batman the Magician - World's Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)
    May 7 2025
    On this week’s World’s Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we enter a world of smoke, mirrors, and... high-stakes handcuffs? When a notorious gang leader is locked into a pair of explosive cuffs that detonate with the slightest vibration, he does what any criminal would do—kidnap a world-famous magician to escape them. Enter Batman and Robin, who swap crime-fighting for curtain calls as they go undercover as stage performers to track down the missing illusionist and foil the gang’s deadly plan. With dramatic escapes, sleight-of-hand justice, and a Bat-costume that somehow includes a tuxedo, this Golden Age gem delivers all the over-the-top fun you could ask for. It’s magic, mayhem, and more in Detective Comics #207: Batman the Magician! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
