Planet Money is our favorite economics podcast (Freakonomics is a close second) and we were pleasantly surprised to see the most recent episode (likely part one of a two-parter) discuss superhero economics. Or at least the part that deals with the intellectual property valuation of superhero ownership.
We’re extra delighted that our old pal Alex Segura, co-president of Archie Comics is the featured interview.
And yes, the hosts do get it in their head to try to buy Doorman, an especially — and purposely — lame character, from Marvel.
