The crossover 10 years — or at least 19 bi-weekly episodes — in the making is here! A return to the Tangent Universe finds a much darker world, and if that wasn’t enough, two of the DC Universe’s finest get stranded smack in the middle of it all. Plus, in a backup, the history of the Tangent Universe gets put under the microscope!

Tangent/Metal Men #1

“Maybe there was no way to prevent what happened. But I still … I’ll always wonder if I could’ve done something.”

In a world where the Cold War turned hot, America needed soldiers with nerves of steel, and it got them in the form of a seemingly invulnerable special-ops squad. In this episode 2, your hosts, Michael Bradley and Shawn Engel, look at METAL MEN #1, which explores a more human side of the Tangent Universe with the account of a six-man Band of Brothers and the group’s final, brutal battle that ended the Vietnam War, but from which no man escaped unscathed. It’s gritty war action in “Secrets and Lies,” a story by comics greats Ron Marz, Mike McKone and Mark McKenna.

I was guest-host on a special episode of Just One of the Guys: A Green Lantern Podcast, hosted by Shawn Engel. In the episode, we discuss the prestige format DC/Marvel crossover, GREEN LANTERN/SILVER SURFER: UNHOLY ALLIANCES! Plus, we finally answer the question of — “What’s in the box?!”

As always, I had a lot of fun and, as I’ve said before and will say again now and in the future, Shawn produces and excellent show that should be on your playlist. So be sure to check out the episode, as well as all of the back catalog.

And thanks again to Shawn for having me on the show!
