When the time comes, let go. World’s Finest Gita Jackson and All-Star Alex Jaffe come to terms with issue 38 of 52, and the long-coming death of Vic Sage. But along the way they’ll note the Watchmen parallels with Oolong Island, check in with Steelworks, and answer a listener question about Wonder Woman’s magic period.
