I for one would love to hear a deeper dive episode or two of the XXXX Rebirth #1 titles. I think it could help a lot of the listeners know what to try if they are hesitant to dip back into, or into the DC Universe for the first time. But I completely understand if that would take too much time. You both have very busy schedules!

We went into a fair amount of depth for Batman #1 in Weekly Comics Spotlight #462 which goes up on Monday morning.

Issues like DC Universe Rebirth #1 which involve so many references to past continuity and in some cases, fairly old continuity, are things which I feel I can being a context to that the readers might not otherwise have. For many of the Rebirth issues I've read so far, there haven't been that many continuity based insights that seem to be needed.

That having been said, Sam and I were talking after we recorded last night and he was asking me about Lilith from Titans: Rebirth #1. That is a character I'm familiar with that Sam wasn't. So, I can see where some additional information about the character could be helpful for a reader to have.

For things like that, I'm be happy to answer specific questions (like "who is Lilith?) in the episodes. So if you guys have such questions, let us know and we can address them in either the reviews if the questions are around those comics or in the general discussion at the end of the episode.
