This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts step into the wasteland to break down Wonder Woman: Dead Earth by Daniel Warren Johnson, one of the most visceral, emotional, and visually jaw-dropping Elseworlds tales DC has published in years. The crew explores how Johnson reimagines Diana as a mythic survivor in a ruined world, forced to confront the haunting truth behind humanity’s fall and her own role in it. We dig into the brutal action, the heavy metal energy of Johnson’s artwork, the heartbreaking character turns, and the way this story strips Wonder Woman down to her core ideals to see what still shines through. It is a raw, explosive, and deeply human take on the Amazon Princess, and we are unpacking every punch, revelation, and moment of heartbreak that makes Dead Earth an instant classic.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts don their Guy Fawkes masks and look back at V for Vendetta, 20 years after its premiere. What began as a cautionary tale about authoritarian control, surveillance, and manufactured fear feels eerily prophetic two decades later. The crew revisits the Wachowskis-produced classic, exploring how its themes of rebellion, censorship, and identity hit harder in today’s world than ever before. From Hugo Weaving’s chillingly poetic performance to Natalie Portman’s transformation as Evey Hammond, we reflect on how the film’s dystopian vision has crept frighteningly close to reality—and why V for Vendetta remains a timeless rallying cry for freedom and truth.
