Comic Book Bears Podcast Issue #344: Absolute Underrated
Episode 244
Tuesday, 29 September, 2026
Our esteemed compatriot Caleb was traveling for work during our last regularly scheduled episode of September, so for this episode it is just Steve and Billy Z manning the Comic Book Bears mics! First up we talk about two recent Absolute (or partially Absolute) books from DC! Saturday, September 19th was this year's date for the annual Batman Day and a new one-shot book - Batman of Two Worlds #1 - was released on that day. Batman of Both Worlds features two new stories featuring the main DC Universe Batman and the Absolute universe Batman, spotlighting what makes those respective Bruce Waynes special. We also chat about Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow's Hand#1! Absolute Cassandra was recently introduced in the Absolute Catwoman series and this one-shot delves not only into Cain's past but also the Absolute Joker's history with the League of Assassins. Then, for a change of pace, Bill Z and Steve each pick a past comic run that they think is underrated, and worthy of re-appreciation. For Bill, it is the Gerry Conway-written New Gods from the 1970s. For Steve, it is the 2008-2011 Vertigo re-imagining of House of Mystery. And why do they think they are underrated? Well, just hit play to find out!
