Welcome to the world of Tangent Comics — where you only know the names. Parallel Lines: A DC Comics Tangent Universe Podcast is a bi-weekly, issue-by-issue exploration of DC Comics’ Tangent Universe events, hosted by Shawn Engel and Michael Bradley.

“… I guess I’m, like, a superhero or something …”

Life as a teenager is difficult — even moreso when when you’re a celebrity literally made of light, your mom’s an overbearing attention-seeker … and your dad’s a supervillain! But, such is the life Lia Nelson in b>THE FLASH #1! And things get even worse when Nightwing puts out a hit on our favorite celebutante, and all she wants to is go the movies! It’s slapstick teen comedy in “Premier,” brought to you by Todd Dezago, Gary Frank and Cam Smith.
