Justice League Heroes with Gavin Mevius (The Q Division, The Mixed Reviews)
Somewhere in the mid-2000s, a group of developers looked at the Justice League and said, “What if we made a game where all your favorite heroes team up… and then we just kinda vibed with that idea instead of sticking to any specific comic storyline?” Which kind of works actually because they got Dwayne McDuffie to write it but that’s not the point. So anyway, Justice League Heroes burst onto the scene for PS2, Xbox, PSP, and Nintendo DS like a Watchtower alarm that nobody remembers installing.
This week on Play Comics, we grab our capes, charge up our vaguely canon-adjacent superpowers, and dive into a game that absolutely has Batman, Superman, and friends… ummm, friends are definitely there I promise and sometimes they have to be there because of contractual obligations. And sometimes even the best version of those friends if you’re lucky and the best version of that hero had been invented already.
Joining the adventure is Gavin Mevius from The Mixed Reviews and The Q Division, bringing along just the right blend of insight, chaos, and “wait, was that ever a comic plot?” energy to help us make sense of it all.
So get ready for teamwork, button mashing, and a Justice League game that is just kind of meh, especially considering the story that it had to work with.
Learn such things as:
- When you can have Justice League adventures without Batman or Superman
- Why you don’t need a 100% comic plot line to have a good comic plot line.
- What the world was like before micro transactions got involved with everything
- And so much more!
You can find Gavin on BlueSky @shhhitsgavin, Instagram @gavinmev, and of course on his podcasts The Mixed Reviews (a monthly film review show taking a deep dive into a subject, actor, director, or something else along those lines) and The Q Division (a monthly deep dive into James Bond).
If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

bit.ly/perdidos623ytPerdidos En El Éter #623 - TITANES: Peter David / Entrevista a Peter David
Se nos fue Peter David, el "writer of stuff", o "escritor de cosas", según el mismo, por la gran variedad de cosas que escribía. Ademá, fue uno de los guionistas de comics más prolíficos de las últimas décadas. Su amplia bibliografía incluye desde una monumental ETAPA de doce años en Hulk, en la que se convirtió en el padre modern del personaje, siguiendo por otras etapas fundamentals en comics como Aquaman, Supergirl, Young Justice, y X-Factor, pasando por mucho Spider-Man, casi cualquier personaje de Marvel, y muchos de DC; hasta sus guiones para television live action y animada, y sus alrededor de cuarente novelas de Star Trek. Y nos quedamos cortos, porque no mencionamos varias otras franquicias en las que trabajó, ni sus novelas y comics de autor.
Además de un TITANES dedicado a su vida y obra, retocamos el sonido de una entrevista que MaGnUs le hizo en 2010 cuando David visitó Montevideo, y que prometió subtitular en algún momento.
La entrevista, por supuesto, está en inglés, así que les recomendamos ir a YouTube si precisan los subtítulos. Incluso si hablan inglés, parte de la entrevista está un poco distorsionada, debido al proceso de retoque del audio viejo. Eso si, la entrevista es la única parte con subtítulos decentes (editados por completo), mientras que el resto del programa tiene subtítulos automáticos, que no son muy buenos. La entrevista si, está muy buena, modestia aparte. (Una cosa más, asegurense de no seleccionar los subtítulos automáticos de YT, porque esos son totlalmente automáticos, no tienen la parte editada de la entrevista.)
Con música de The Beatles, Route 49 (interpretando a Buddy Guy), y Coheed and Cambria.
