The Superhero Show Show #530

Does Dead Boy Detectives Improve the Sandman Universe?

The Taste Buds review the first episode of Dead Boy Detectives, plus this week's X-Men '97 and the ninth chapter of Neogenic Nightmare on Spider-Man: The Animated Series!

On an all-new, all-different episode of The Superhero Show Show, Mike and Ryan are kicking off an new LIVE ACTION comic book show! They use to be inundated with them, but now they're few and far between. So appropriate it, even if it's fine. It's fine.

Dead Boy Detectives Are Here!

Spinning off of The Sandman (or Doom Patrol?), Dead Boy Detectives tells the story of two best buddies, each one more British than the other. When the series begins, there are three things we know about them. They're dead. They are boys. And they are sure as hell detectives.When they meet a woman who can see dead people, particularly dead boys and dead detectives, we have our threesome that will presumably carry us through the series, solving mysteries at a rate that is almost not boring.

Do the Dead Boy Detectives Watch X-Men?

They also check-in on X-Men '97. Everyone is grieving about Genosha, but luckily Bolivar Trask, Henry Gyrich, and CAPTAIN AMERICA are here to distract them from their sadness.

Finally, the Taste Buds head over to Spider-Man: The Animated Series to meet yet another new character in the Neogenic Nightmare saga: Blade! The Taste Buds discuss the unholy trinity/love triangle of Blade, Morbius, and Spider-Man, plus Spider-Man/Morbius/Felicia Hardy, and of course Spider-Man/MJ/Aunt May. That's more triangles than an offense ran by Phil Jackson!

All of that, and so much more, on an all-new episode of The Superhero Show Show!
