    Dial H for Hero - World's Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)
    May 14 2025
    On this week's World’s Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we explore one of DC’s weirdest and most creative debuts — the first appearance of Dial H for Hero! When teenager Robby Reed stumbles upon a mysterious alien device shaped like a rotary dial (yes, really), he gains the ability to transform into an entirely new superhero every time he dials H-E-R-O. What could go wrong with powers you don’t choose, wild villains, and a transformation system more confusing than your grandma’s landline? Zach and Mike break it all down — one random superhero at a time. House of Mystery Issue #156 (DC Comics, 1966) "Dial H for Hero!"

    Batman the Magician - World's Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)
    May 7 2025
    On this week’s World’s Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we enter a world of smoke, mirrors, and... high-stakes handcuffs? When a notorious gang leader is locked into a pair of explosive cuffs that detonate with the slightest vibration, he does what any criminal would do—kidnap a world-famous magician to escape them. Enter Batman and Robin, who swap crime-fighting for curtain calls as they go undercover as stage performers to track down the missing illusionist and foil the gang’s deadly plan. With dramatic escapes, sleight-of-hand justice, and a Bat-costume that somehow includes a tuxedo, this Golden Age gem delivers all the over-the-top fun you could ask for. It’s magic, mayhem, and more in Detective Comics #207: Batman the Magician! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Guy Gardner (Audio Version)
    May 5 2025
    This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike ask the question nobody was really ready to answer: 👉 Who is Guy Gardner… and why does every hero want to punch him? We kick things off with Guy’s actual origin in Green Lantern #59, where we learn he was almost Earth's Green Lantern — but lost out because Hal Jordan lived closer. Seriously. Then it’s a full dive into his most iconic (and unhinged) moments: Justice League America #28 – where Guy takes his girlfriend on a date to... an adult movie theater. Justice League America #52 – where he sucker punches Blue Beetle during a boxing match. Justice League International #5 – where Batman settles an argument with one punch that lives in meme history. From bowl cuts to bar fights to “sweet cheeks” one-liners, we’re exploring everything that makes Guy Gardner the worst-best Green Lantern in DC Comics history. 🎙️ New episodes weekly – Subscribe and follow! 📧 Got a character you want us to cover?
