Jessica Plummer

Comic book aficionado Jessica Plummer joins us to delve into the ethical quandaries presented in the first two episodes of She-Hulk. We’ll discuss whether Abomination’s legal arguments hold water and explore the significance of Jennifer Walters’ unique approach to being a Hulk, contrasting sharply with Bruce Banner’s experience. Our conversation extends to the roots of She-Hulk in the comic book industry and how her inception influences the narratives we see today.

Join Jessica Plummer and me as we explore the pivotal moments when Robin steps out from the Caped Crusader’s shadow. We discuss Tim Drake’s recent coming out, Dick Grayson’s struggle with his Robin identity, and Jason Todd’s efforts to forge his own path.

Paul Hoppe and Jessica Plummer join me to unravel the ethical conundrums presented in The Suicide Squad. We dissect character motivations, moral dilemmas, and the surprisingly deep layers within the film.

Should superheroes make a vow to never kill? Is there a moral difference between killing in battle and executing a supervillain to prevent future crimes? We explore these intense debates using Jupiter’s Legacy as a starting point for broader discussion—no need to have seen the show, as one of our guests hasn’t either! Joining me are Paul Hoppe and Jessica Plummer.

The Comics Code gets sidelined, teen angst and diversity rise among our heroes, and Wonder Woman graces the cover of Ms. Magazine—the Bronze Age of comic books was indeed a wild time. Jessica Plummer returns to discuss this captivating period in comic book history with me.
