Issue #162: "Doctor Professor Nerdhat" (Joss Whedon fired from Batgirl; Another Marvel Comics Reboot; How to fix the comics industry; Power Rangers Crisis Event)

Summary: It's official: Joss Whedon and DC/WB have parted ways. No more Whedonverse and no more Batgirl in the DCEU - at least, not anytime soon. We discuss how it came to this and what the chances are for a Batgirl film in the future * It's another year another line-wide reboot, re-tidying for Marvel Comics. 4 reboots in 6 years! Could this reboot really be the one that rights the course for Marvel, or is this another sign of dark times for the house that Spidey built? * Comic sales are down across the board, and over the last few years, both Marvel & DC have tried just about every marketing gimmick to increase readership - but nothing has had a lasting effect. We offer a few of our can't-miss ideas to save the industry! * Power Rangers meets Crisis on Infinite Earths!? We preview what's in store in the year ahead for the current Kyle Higgins-led comics line, as Rangers from across time and space unite to stop an evil Ranger, hellbent on being the last Ranger in existence!  ...
