The SJW Comic Book Club
The SJW Comic Book Club is a book-club style podcast where three friends discuss a story arch in comics from a literary and progressive POV. We try to center the opinions of people of color, women, LGBTQ+, etc., who are sometimes overlooked in nerd culture.

S12E2 - Amazing Spider-Man: The Parker Luck w/ Not a Hoax! Not a Dream!
How do you rebuild from your worst enemy taking over your body and living your superhero life with all your superhero friends, forming new relationships and burning old bridges and leaving the existential question of "if I'm not in control of my body am I responsible for the things that happen"? This week we read a story that doesn't answer those questions, but it is very fun. We read Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1-6 "Parker Luck" by Dan Slott. Joining us is Ben from the Not a Hoax! Not a Dream! podcast. (Check out Melissa and Monte's guest appearance here!)
Next week will be a minisode, and then we will be reading You Brought Me the Ocean, an alternate origin story for the gayest Aqualad, Jackson Hyde.
Monte's theme for this season is the five top-selling superhero comic books of all time. Veronica's theme is stories from the DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults imprint.
The comic lineup for Season 12 will be:
Superman Smashes the Klan
Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1-6
You Brought Me the Ocean
Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) #1-7
Shadow of the Batgirl
Batman: The 10-Cent Adventure
Nubia: Real One
Fantastic Four (2002) #60
Galaxy: The Prettiest Star
X-Men (1991) #1-3
We invite you to read along with us.
