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.

S12E1 - Superman Smashes the Klan *audio fixed*
*Audio Fixed*
This week we discuss Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Luen Yang, with art by Gurihura, the earliest entry in the DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults (formerly DC Ink) lineup. Join us as we follow an old-school incarnation of Superman (from back when he just leapt tall buildings in a single bound, rather than fly so fast around the Earth he could reverse time!) trying to protect a Chinese-American family from the threat of the not-KKK (but actually it is the KKK)!
Next week will be a minisode, and then we will be reading Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1-6: The Parker Luck, #5 on the list of bestselling superhero comics of all time! Joining us will be Ben from the Not a Hoax! Not a Dream! podcast. (Check out Melissa and Monte's guest appearance here!)
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.
