Well here is the newest episode of Episode 10: The Conway's Corner Podcast Crossover Pt 2: The Task Force X Edition!
This month, Task Force X, is joining in a wide line crossover of massive proportions!
In honor of a recent Tumblr post by the great Gerry Conway talking about creator equity and DC Comics, we have decided to use May as a Gerry Conway appreciation month!
Vixen will show up in the Squad around issue 11 (so this profile is a little early).
And since the great Mr. Conway didn't write any Suicide Squad issues, we use this month to look back at Action Comics 521, Vixen's first appearance.
Gerry Conway's original post on the creator equity issue is located here:
Mr. Adam's response to is can be located at:
I recommend reading both of these posts, and also following Mr. Conway's follow up posts.
What does Brother Head think of this issue... well, it's a bit complicated, so listen to this episode to hear for yourself.
