Matt and Mike Read Comics episode 4 is all about Astro City. Dropping in 1995 like an atom bomb in the comics world, Astro City was a refreshing take on comics in the middle of the extreme era of comics. We all know that mainstream comics in the 90’s were flooded with big guns, exaggerated muscles, gigantic shoulderpads, fingerless gloves, those weird head protectors, and pouches. So. Many. Pouches. Astro City was a major throwback to the golden age of comics where the heroes had silly names and sometimes even sillier costumes; a world that revolved around a fictional city where there was never a question about the heroes intentions. But as you read on, Astro City quickly becomes something else, masterfully incorporating more modern and darker takes on comics, weaving an interconnected tale while spotlighting the champions of Astro City. A must read for all comic book fans.
