Should superheroes make a vow to never kill? Is there a moral difference between killing in battle and executing a supervillain to prevent future crimes? We explore these intense debates using Jupiter's Legacy as a starting point for broader discussion—no need to have seen the show, as one of our guests hasn't either! Joining me are Paul Hoppe and Jessica Plummer.
During the episode, we reference a past discussion on the Superman comic Kingdom Come. Listen to that episode here.
Jessica has contributed a story to the highly anticipated anthology Sword Stone Table, which is available for pre-order. Get your copy here.
