    The Beetle: Cult of the Dragon

    Blue Beetle was one of the most pivotal figures of the 20th Century… specifically, the first Blue Beetle. The new one is a guy named Ted Kord, and he’s struggling to adjust to his new role. He’d better figure it out soon, because the lone survivor of a massacre needs his help tracking down a sinister, globe-spanning cult.

    The Exquisite Corpse (feat. Chris Filipowicz)

    Dr. Victor Frank was an expert in biological 3D printing and organ transplants. A burst of arrogance and inspiration lead him to manufacture an entire human body, complete with a nanorobotic immune system. But when his creation unexpectedly comes to life, he’s forced to grapple with the weight of his crime against nature- and if he cannot come to terms with having created new life, the exquisite corpse may bring about his death… In our first-ever guest episode, Chris Filipowicz shares a pitch for a contemporary version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, reimagining it through the lens of bodily autonomy and disability rights.

    El Don: Origins

    Some men are born with the burden of great power, and the expectation that they use to protect the innocent and serve mankind... not Alonso Quijano, though. He was just a humble landlord from La Mancha, California. But a lifelong obsession with comics has lead to a nervous breakdown and convinced him that he's the world's greatest superhero, destined to bring about a new golden age of costumed crimefighting. Will he succeed in his preposterous quest? Or will he have to face reality? Find out in El Don: Origins, a contemporary reimagining of Don Quixote.
