Jace and Rocky from the Comic Boom! YouTube channel talk about the DC releases for the week of June 27, 2023. The guys especially liked Batman Brave and the Bold, Green Arrow and Fables with an honorable mention for Action Comics. Some Flash movie and SDCC talk also, so listen in!

Jace and Rocky are back for another week of DC Comics titles. The guys love the ending of Black Adam and are desperately hoping for more of this story. The end of Batgirls and Wonder Woman #800 are the ends of their respective runs and welcome in a very different way. Superboy continues to impress as does The Vigil while Superman and World's Finest are both excellent.

Jace is joined by Eisner-award winning writer Mark Russell to chat about Superman: Space Age. Nominated for best limited series for the 2023 Eisner's, Space Age follows the titular character through the civil unrest of the 60's to the urban challenges of the 70's into the consumerism of the 80's with a realistic yet fantastical feel that only would work in a DC comic. With incredible art from Mike and Laura Allred this is a must-read story of DC's great characters and universe being shaped by real-world events along with the crisis's that work so well in DC's multiverse. Plus the guys chat about the Superman vs Imperious Lex story which feels like it belongs in the same universe as Space Age.

Jace is joined by writer Zack Kaplan to chat about three of his recent series which are now all available in collected editions. First off is the mind-bending mind control thriller that gets a bit meta when it references technology. Next up is Break Out an action-packed heist adventure with teenagers trying to break into an alien craft to rescue their siblings. Finally we have Metal Society as a civilization built by robots brings back the extinct human race, but they have unknowingly brought a culture and class problem also.

Marisol Rios De La Luz, a student at Columbia University with a major in Earth and Environmental science, is studying abroad in Puerto Rico. Shortly after arriving, she finds out that her classes at the University of Puerto Rico are no longer available due to budget cuts. Initially she is disappointed, but she decides to create her own lab in the back of her grandfather's café where she will conduct research on the rock samples that she acquires from her exploration of five caves. One night, she goes to Cueva Ventana during a storm and makes a shocking discovery about La Estrella Del Camino, which results in her receiving her powers from Atabex, Huracan, and Yucahu. As a superhero with a commitment to solving Puerto Rico's environmental issues, the people recognize her not only as their vigilante but as a symbol of hope.
