EP.3 – The Atlantis Problem – A Review of Billionaires In Comics pt.3

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) continue reviewing billionaires in comics. Tangents include how exactly Power Girl makes money, Super boy’s weird Gambit-like abilities, James Bond sifting through red-tape to lease a new car, Aquaman’s ability to use the ‘5-second’ rule in the ocean has led to his trillion-dollar empire, and more.

Show Notes

Kareem, Ken, and Pat are back at it, continuing their review of billionaires in comics, and the results are as ridiculous as ever.

Doctor Doom’s debts are only the beginning. Along the way, the guys veer into tangents that somehow make perfect sense in comic book economics: how exactly Power Girl makes money, Superboy’s strange Gambit-like abilities, James Bond battling red tape just to lease a car, and Aquaman turning the “five-second rule” into a trillion-dollar ocean empire. It’s part financial roast, part pop culture deep dive, and all about the bizarre ways comics imagine wealth, power, and debt.

Expect sharp banter, absurd hypotheticals, and the kind of financial wisdom you’d only hear from superheroes and supervillains. Spoiler: Spider-Man still can’t pay his rent. #ComicBookBillionaires

EP.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in. It gets weird fast.#TangentialGiants #ComicCon #Transformers #GIJoe #FastAndFurious #NerdCulture #PopCulturePodcast #GeekTalk #ComicBookLore #MovieUniverses #PodcastLife #FandomTalk #ToyLore #FranchiseChaos
