I’ve always been a big fan of the Marvel’s What If?. After all they are just comic book characters and there are an infinite number of worlds to explore. Years before DC published the Elseworld’s tales, they had their own What If? in the pages of World’s Finest featuring Batman and Superman. Popular in the late 1950′s through the 1970′s was the exploration of future stories that involved the descendants of Bruce and Clark. Recently DC collected these imaginary tales in trade paperback form: DC’s Greatest Imaginary Stories Volume 2: Batman & Robin and Batman/Superman: Saga of the Super Sons. Both have different takes on the similar concept and we explore that today.

Also on the show today:

• My time at the Detroit Fanfare including what I bought and who I saw
• Thoughts on The Walking Dead (AMC) TV show
