The Under Guides Graphic Novel Podcast Vol XII: Brat Pack & The King Hell Heroica by Rick Veitch
Diabolu Frank, Illegal Machine, and Mr. Fixit go back to the Dark Age of deconstructionist super-heroics under the pen of Roarin' Rick Veitch, specifically his incendiary work Bratpack from 1990, with a side of 1992's The Maximortal, both published by Tundra (& Kitchen Sink Press.) Then Frank has a solo rant at the end where he summarizes 1985's Epic series The One (which almost certainly influenced Watchmen), before tearing into Don Simpson's 1990 Bizarre Heroes one shot & 2023's X-Amount of Comics: 1963 (WhenElse?!) Annual from Fantagraphics.
