Both Jon kent & DC’s forgotten characters are RICH with potential! PLUS, The Spectre “warps” God and Wonder Woman teaches objective truth! ‍ ‍ RELEASE PERIODS COVERED: DCUI Ultra February 2026, DCUI Standard July 2026, ‍ ‍ TIME STAMPS 00:01:09 DC has some GREAT potential to remind us of their rich history and interesting characters in a couple of books this week. I also make note of how a recent portrayal of The Spectre reflects a warped view of God. Batman 5, Superman: Chains Of Love Special 1, Cheetah & Cheshire Rob The Justice League, JSA 15. ‍ ‍ 00:17:55 DC is \"teaching\" the existence of absolute, objective truth... possibly from a source you wouldn't expect! Wonder Woman 29, Superman Unlimited 9, Wonder Woman Black And Gold 2026 Special 1 ‍ ‍ 00:35:25 Although not much grabbed me in this week's offerings from DC's Ultra Tier, Jon Kent potentially has a NEW team he'll be leading that, surprisingly has me interested even if they don't de-age him! New History Of The DC Universe: The Dakota Incident 1, Superman 34, The Flash 29, Detective Comics 1105, Green Lantern 31, Justice League Red 6, DC KO: The Kids Are All Fight Special 1 (Jon Kent's New Team?) ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ GET THIS PODCAST 3 DAYS EARLY and enjoy exclusive rewards at https://www.patreon.com/spiritbladeproductions ‍ ‍ <a href=\" https://feeds.podcastmirror.com/essential-issues-a \" title=\"Subscribe to my feed\" rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\"><img src=\"//feedburner.google.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:0\"/></a><a href=\" https://feeds.podcastmirror.com/essential-issues-a \" title=\"Subscribe to my feed\" rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\">Subscribe in a reader</a> <a href=\" http://subscribeonandroid.com/feeds.po…","meta_description":"(TIME STAMPS BELOW!)
