Description: Dan and Greg explore Flex Mentallo issue #1. In this episode, we dive into Grant Morrison's complex meta-narrative in Flex Mentallo #1. We discuss our initial confusion about the storyline, which includes comic book nostalgic references, character meta-commentary, and surreal transitions between reality and fiction. We examine the intricate art by Frank Quitely and the book's heavy dialogue, touching upon key moments like mysterious bombs, the protagonist's struggle with his identity, and nostalgic nods to comic history. Dan and Greg also share our personal experiences with collecting comics and ponder over the deeper meanings behind Morrison's writing. A fun episode as always.
