In this special episode, Zach and Mike sit down with comic book writer T.S. Luther to talk about his upcoming series The Digger. a four-issue pulp thriller about what might happen if Indiana Jones hunted Short Round. T.S. opens up about walking away from a soul-crushing corporate job to chase his dream of writing comics, how collaboration with artist Sam Gudilin turned one wild pitch into a full series, and why making comics is always a labor of love. It’s a funny, honest, and inspiring look at the realities of indie comics, from cold-pitching publishers to finding creative partners who make your stories better. The Digger hits shops January 14, 2026, and final orders are due December 1, 2025. Ask your local comic shop to preorder it today through Invader Comics! Learn more about your ad choices.

Halloween season hits Bros, Foes & Heroes as Zach and Mike dive into some of the wildest horror comics ever printed and somehow manage to record the whole thing shoulder-to-shoulder in Mike’s office. This episode covers three gloriously strange horror anthology stories: A 1954 couple who get tired of waiting for dinner… and start eating themselves (Weird Mysteries Issue 9) A world of microscopic people facing an 8:30 p.m. “appointment” with x-rays (Witches Tales Issue 25) And a 1970 vampire Santa Claus story that ends with the real Santa showing up for revenge (Web of Horror Issue 3) Plus, there’s plenty of off-the-rails banter about sandwiches, movie posters, and the true meaning of “Spooky Ass Comics.” A perfect mix of old-school horror, bad morals, and Halloween chaos. #halloween #comics #spookyseason #comicbooks #brosfoesheroes Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, World’s Finest Wednesday gets spooky as Zach and Mike cover the first-ever issue of Superman’s Girlfriend, Lois Lane and the completely unhinged story “The Witch of Metropolis.” When Lois breaks a mirror in front of a portrait of “Mad Molly,” she’s cursed to turn into a witch every night for seven years. Cue flying brooms, hexed bullets, jealous scoops, and Superman secretly making all her spells come true just to protect her feelings. It’s a Golden Age fever dream featuring old-age serum fumes, magic incantations, and maybe the most convoluted explanation Superman’s ever given. Plus, the guys dive into vintage DC ads, including mail-order axes, patriotic mottoes, and the inexplicable Rex the Wonder Dog.

Spooky Season begins! This week, Zach and Mike dive into one of Marvel’s strangest horror stories, "Hellcow!" from Giant-Size Man-Thing Issue 5 (1975, Marvel Comics). Written by Steve Gerber with art by Frank Brunner, this bizarre tale follows Howard as he faces off against a 300-year-old vampire cow named Bessie… a creature created when Dracula got thirsty and no humans would let him in. Along the way, we talk swamp monsters, wet superheroes, Steve Gerber’s battle with Marvel, and how Hellcow somehow survived to later team up with Deadpool. It’s absurd, educational, and the perfect way to kick off October on Bros, Foes, and Heroes. Come for the vampire cow.

This World’s Finest Wednesday takes us back to More Fun Comics Issue 73 (1941), the very first appearance of Green Arrow and Speedy. In The Case of the Namesake Murders, Oliver Queen and Roy Harper face off against a killer targeting members of a history club—murdering them the same way their famous namesakes died. Abraham Lincoln, Achilles, Socrates… nobody’s safe. There are electrified rugs, a criminal getaway on stilts, and a whole lot of the Arrowplane (Which is a Car). But that’s not all! We also look at Adventure Comics Issue 241 (1957) and the one (and only) appearance of the mysterious Queen Arrow. She’s a sleepwalking superfan who collects Ollie’s arrows, dresses up in costume, and nearly outshines the Emerald Archer. #greenarrow #oliverqueen #MoreFunComics #dccomics #dc #goldenagecomics #comicbookpodcast #brosfoesheroes Learn more about your ad choices.

This week’s World’s Finest Wednesday takes us back to 1955 with one of the strangest Batman stories ever told: “Batman, Junior and Robin, Senior” from Detective Comics Issue 218 (DC Comics). When a mad scientist’s “youth and age gas” turns Batman into a reckless kid and Robin into the responsible adult, Gotham gets the Reverse Dynamic Duo—and chaos ensues. Zach and Mike break down the story panel by panel: youth gas, old gas, dogs getting de-aged into puppies, Batman forgetting who he is, Robin taking charge, and the immortal line, “You shouldn’t be squirting your gas around so freely.” It’s classic Golden Age weirdness, complete with wind machines saving stampeding horses and Batman identifying a bad guy by his ears.

It’s one of the most infamous Batman stories ever told: A Death in the Family (1988). Zach and Mike dive into the four-part saga where Jason Todd, the second Robin, went toe-to-toe with the Joker…and fans literally voted whether he would live or die. We break down the story beat by beat: Jason’s search for his real mother, Joker’s wild plan to sell a cruise missile in the Middle East, Ayatollah Khomeini making Joker a U.N. ambassador, Superman sucking up poison gas with “vacuum breath,” and of course—the brutal crowbar scene that sealed Jason’s fate. Along the way, we cover the behind-the-scenes history of the 900-number call-in vote, Jim Starlin’s dislike of Robin, and how close Jason actually came to surviving (spoiler: just 72 votes). It’s comic book history, comedy, and chaos—the BFH way.

Rockin’ Robin Summer continues with the second Boy Wonder himself—Jason Todd. Before he was the Robin fans voted to kill, Jason had some bizarre beginnings. Zach walks Mike through his Pre-Crisis origin as a circus kid in “The Flying Todds” (complete with a Guy Gardner haircut), his parents’ murder at the hands of Killer Croc, his awkward time living with Bruce Wayne, and the ridiculous custody battle where the villainess Nocturna tried to adopt him. We also cover Jason’s Post-Crisis reboot, where he’s introduced stealing the tires off the Batmobile, his hotheaded edge compared to Dick Grayson, and the shocking moment where Robin maybe (definitely) straight-up murdered a guy. It’s the messy, chaotic journey of Jason Todd. From knockoff Dick Grayson to the most controversial Robin of all time. #jasontodd #robin #batman #dccomics #dc #comicbookpodcast #brosfoesheroes #deathinthefamily Learn more about your ad choices.

Rockin’ Robin Summer continues with another World’s Finest Wednesday! This week, Zach takes Mike back to Star-Spangled Comics #82 (1948) for the bizarre Golden Age story “The Boy Who Hated Robin.” Robin decides Gotham’s kids need more than busted fire hydrants and pool halls—so he opens his very own summer camp. From fisticuffs with Petey Downs, to moral lessons about stealing ham, to cabins that pop up in a week, this camp has it all.It’s a weird, hilarious dive into one of Robin’s silliest stories, complete with questionable detective skills, pixie boots, and plenty of Mike roasting along the way.

It’s the start of our Rockin’ Robin Summer! Zach tries his best to convince Mike that Robin isn’t useless by diving into one of the most acclaimed Boy Wonder stories: Robin: Year One. We cover Dick Grayson’s early adventures as Batman’s partner, his brutal run-in with Two-Face, his battles with Mad Hatter and Mr. Freeze, and the constant question...should a kid really be fighting Gotham’s worst criminals in pixie boots?

In this episode of Bros, Foes, & Heroes, Zach and Mike break down Peacemaker's first appearance in Charlton Comics, his bizarre “Peace Palace,” his stockpile of weapons he was never supposed to use, and his showdown with the evil Emil Bork (yes, Bork). Along the way, we cover how DC later reimagined him in the ’80s, why Alan Moore almost turned him into the Comedian in Watchmen, and how he evolved into the helmet-wearing anti-hero we know today.
