Super-Hero Prose (SS #23, from September 2014)
Professor Alan and Em convene to reflect on a nearly 10-year-old episode, discussing the state of super-hero prose novels today, before replaying the episode from 2014 where they talked about the same topic.
In the replay portion, they talk about non-comic
books that feature superheroes. It's book report time, as the topic
for this conversation is "super-hero prose." They talk about novelizations
and adaptations, novels featuring DC & Marvel characters, novels
featuring original characters, short stories, and even some fan-fiction.
