• .5 oz Sweet Vermouth
• .5 oz Dry Vermouth

This is a very old cocktail, and not nearly as bad ass as the name implies.

This week we are discussing 2002 Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia. From Greg Rucka and J.G. Jones, this book would begin Rucka’s long run writing Wonder Woman.  We changed up the format a little this week.  In part one we do a spoiler free intro to the book, then in part two we step thru the plot of the book and explore this gem.  Let us know what you think of the format change on our website, or any of our social media outlets.  Next week we are reading Hawkeye: My Life as a Weapon.  A modern take on what an Avenger does when he has no suit, no powers, and isn’t Avenging.

2 oz. UV Cherry Vodka

4 oz. Cactus Cooler

2 dashes of Orange Bitters

Add all ingredients to glass, stir and add ice. It's that simple! Just be careful not to overindulge. It tastes like happy in a glass without a hint of alcohol. Also, do not under ANY circumstances do shots of the vodka. 

Adam created this drink, cause he couldn't figure out how to say the name of the book.

With beautiful art by Alex Ross, a script by Mark Waid this DC Elseworlds mini-series made a splash in 1996.  This week we are discussing Kingdom Come.  A futuristic story that deals with the conflict between the out of touch heroes we know, and a new group of dangerous vigilantes.
