For a show that was originally created in a comic book shop, we do surprisingly few episodes about comic books. Today is an opportunity to fix that. A few weeks ago, Mav was contacted by a publishing agent and asked if we could interview the author of a book that was all about comic book superheroes and the sex lives they might have. The agent was clearly ready to do the hard sell to convince us that this wasn’t at all weird, but nope… we were pretty much in immediately. So on this episode Mav, Monica and Wayne welcome Diana McCallum, author of Sex Lives of Superheroes to talk about her new book as well as returning guest, friend of the show, and editor of SuperSex, Anna Peppard to have a round table about Diana’s work, and the question of why having these kinds of conversations is important anyway. You know that part of the movie Mallrats where they talk about whether or not the Thing’s penis is made of stone? We do that… but you know… smart! Plus we tackle a bunch of other superhero sex topics. So listen and let us know what you think in the comments.
