Funny Book Forensics 385 Flexing Our Emotional Muscles

Dan and Greg delve into Flex Mentallo #2 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. This episode is filled with discussions on the book’s complex narrative, riddled with Silver and Bronze Age comic references and meta-commentary often veiled in humor and satire. We get through so you can too! Another fun episode as always.
