<p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In brightest day, in blackest night, no listener shall escape the <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong>’s might! In an unusual turn of events, Paul has selected a DC book–but, of course, it’s an unusual one. Published under DC’s Young Animal imprint, curated by My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way, <em>Far Sector</em> is a Green Lantern murder mystery written by N.K. Jemisin (in her first comics work) with art by Jamal Campbell. Sojourner “Jo” Mullein is the newest Lantern in the universe, and she’s been kicked way out into the far reaches of space to solve the City Enduring’s first murder in half-a-millennia. That murder, though, is only a thread–and when Jo starts pulling, the whole city begins to unravel. The boys discuss Jemisin’s timely social commentary, Campbell’s gorgeous art, why Jo Mullein overcomes our hosts’ Green Lantern skepticism, and the freaking @At. Plus, Paul and Arlo binge some TV, including the final seasons of <em>Succession</em>, <em>Barry</em>, and <em>Ted Lasso</em>; the new season of <em>I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson</em>; and the very first season of <em>American Born Chinese</em>.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>  </strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">NEXT: it’s Xanadu vs. Mulholland Drive in a Geek Challenge for the ages.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> <br /> <br /></strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">BREAKDOWN</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">00:00:35  -  Intro / Oh Lawd, it’s comin’!</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">00:08:00  -  Recent TV season / series finales</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><s
