Continuing our discussion about where and when superhero comics went wrong (Part 1: https://youtu.be/K2yJ45yb0XE), comic artists Shell Presto and Art Anon talk with superhero author Michael DiBaggio about the poisonous period of anti-heroic deconstruction in the 1980s, the tedium of endless retcons, and realism as the death of the superhero. We also ask important questions like "Why doesn't Tony Stark believe in the Norse gods?", "Why does Marvel hate marriage?" and "Why do Hugo award winning sci-fi stories suck?"
