Episode 6: Back Issue Banter #6: Justice League (International)

While things were getting grim an' gritty in 1980s comics, the antidote was a dose of BWAH-HA-HA, which came in the form of Justice League International.  We take a deep dive into issues #5-8.In the post-Crisis, cold war decade of the '80s, a new Justice League was needed, and while this version of the league took their heroics seriously, it didn't stop them from cracking a joke or two or three or....well, you get the point.  This classic comic re-invented the League for a new era and the inspired creativity of Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire made sure the action and the jokes were fast and furious, sometimes ending in literal punchlines.There's battling, backstabbing, and drama....and that's just amongst the heroes themselves!Needless to say, we had a lot of fun doing this episode.Hosted by Brad Page and Chris Karam
