Josh and Leia welcome first time guest Dixie Cochran to discuss Gotham City Sirens just in time for the new issue to have been dropped last week (absolutely, 100% planned by Josh...like absolutely. Not just an amazing coincidence).
We get right into it by discussing representation in comic books, how weird 2009 was in terms of what is progressive or problematic and we cannot stop giggling at the name "Bone Blaster" because we are 12.
