Episode 271: The Vision

This week, in light of the recent Warriors announcement which will star Viv, Vince decided we should check out the new Vision series. Both of us had dismissed it when it had first released, however reading through the first six issues proved that was a grave mistake. Also discussed this week, some Spider-Man… some bad… some meh.

Episode 255: Daredevil – Season 2

Episode 255: Daredevil – Season 2

The much anticipated second season of Daredevil was released on Friday, and as per the Netflix Terms of Service, we binge watched it all over the course of the weekend. And because our For the Lore co-host, Joe, has such a unique relationship with one of the central characters, we thought it’d be fun to bring him along for the ride. We also discussed Rat Queens, Spider-Man and … Power Rangers? Enjoy. Discussion...

Episode 236: Indy and the Iron Phoenix

Episode 236: Indy and the Iron Phoenix

With all the talk of Star Wars as of late, I thought it’d be fun to go back and look at some comics about one of my passions from when I was young: Indiana Jones. Dark Horse published a number of stories, this one from late 1994 to spring of 1995. The idea behind the series was meant for a LucasArts video game, however that wound up being cancelled. Luckily, we still got the story in this limited series. As for what we’re reading, we tackled some of the new Marvel line-up… which, in typical fashion, are hit or miss.

Episode 235: NYCC 2015

This weekend was NYCC, and we got some news on what’s coming up for the big two, Image, Dark Horse and more. You’ll notice almost immediately that I didn’t hold back when asked what I thought about different things. There’s just so much crap that you have to swim through in order to get to the nuggets of information that are genuinely exciting. Of course, we respect that everyone’s got their own opinions on what’s in store for us. What did you think about this year’s announcements and reveals?

Episode 227: D&D

As a way of apologizing for last week, Vince actually suggested a GOOD comic book this week. Humble Bundle has a fantastic D&D package available, and we tackled one of them. It was fantastic. Also discussed this week, Batman, Lando, Gotham Academy, Spidey and… Greg Land. Serious… ^&%$ that guy.

Episode 215: Convergence vs Secret Wars

Episode 215: Convergence vs Secret Wars

With Convergence and Secret Wars both hitting us at exactly the same time, it's only fitting that we tear them both apart in an extra-long episode of Comic Book Informer. While there are hints of great things within each, those moments are lost in what can only be described as a convoluted mess....

Episode 213: Stiletto and Others

This week, Vince and I give our early thoughts on the Eisner nominations. As always, we didn’t agree with all the choices, and noticed a couple names missing. Still, a number of exceptionally talented folks made it onto the list and that’s what matters. The bulk of our conversation this week came by way of Thrillbent: Stiletto, The Eight Seal, Motorcycle Samurai, and even a little bit of The Best Thing. We also tackled the gay gorilla in the room.

Episode 208: He’s Dead!

This week, Vince got so worked up about a comic that he decided to post-pone our planned Daredevil discussion and forced me to get caught up on what’s been happening with the turtles instead. The latest story-arc is fantastic, and led to an interesting discussion about the permanence of death in comics. We also talked about some Ms. Marvel, magic mirrors and Spider folks. Enjoy.

Episode 207: The All-New Uncanny Daily Globe

This week, Vince decided we needed to discuss Daredevil again… and I’m kinda glad he did. We discussed Bendis’ Out story-arc, and both of us agreed that it is absolutely fantastic. Also discussed this week, Thor, and as I said during the podcast, mark your calendars, because this was the day I defended Thor against Vince. Tons of other comics during What We’re Reading. And now that Vince has pointed it out, I’m beginning to see a pattern in the number of entries I have every week. Perhaps I’ll have to start limiting my comics. Enjoy.
