Dear Watchers: an omniversal comic book podcast

It's a queer Christmas! DC meets It's a Wonderful Life as we ask What If Extraño showed Bunker the former Teen Titan a world without him, before heading to a JLQ Christmas party? First we talk Miguel Jose Barragan aka Bunker's first appearance courtesy Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth back in 2011 before jumping to December 2023 that sees elder gay Extraño teach Bunker a thing or two while battling an evil Teen Titans in a new story from Josh Trujillo and Andrew Drilon. We also discuss if we'd want an JLQ series (yes, please!) and which other DC characters should get the George Bailey treatment.
