Episode 095: AvX vs Spider-Men

Ok, so we ran a little long with this episode. Vince is quick to point out that my episodes are always long, however in my defence, they are often larger in scope too, encompassing large story-arcs or several series. Such is the case with this episode as well, where we tackle not just one, but two events. I wanted to talk about both of them because I feel that in so doing, we can see what was done right with one, and what went horribly awry with the other. It’s fairly obvious which is which. Enjoy.

Episode 093: Forcing Roger To Read Crap

This week, we take a break from the norm, as Vince returns to the show. (Hey, I’m allowed one shot considering his abuse during the podcast.) And of course, one of the things Vince loves most about this podcast is making me read crap I probably would never touch. For this week’s sadistic list, he chose Hawkeye and Godzilla. We’ve already established over many episodes that neither of us likes the Hawkeye character, however this new series appealed to us both. Listen to find out why. And then, well, there’s Godzilla.

Episode 086: Before Watchmen

This week, despite repeated technical, physical and sensory problems, Vince and I managed to get an episode recorded discussing the new Before Watchmen titles. You’ll have to check out the outtakes to see what I mean. As for Before Watchmen, universally we can agree that they were sorely lacking; something which disappointed Vince a lot more than I, who went in with very low expectations.

Episode 085: Powers That Be

This week, Vince and I tackle the news regarding Marvel Now!, MonkeyBrain Comics as well as volume 3 of Powers from issue #1 to 10. All in all, this was a fantastic episode, despite my cold which messed with my voice during recording. News Marvel Now!

Episode 084: Einstein’s A Badass

This week, Vince and I have a lot of fun discussing one of our favorite new series, and that’s The Manhattan Projects by Sir Jonathan Hickman. Yes, I just knighted him. He deserves it! The series is only four issues in (three of which are discussed in this episode) and it is already setting itself up to be one of our favorites this year. Absolutely fantastic stuff, and we cannot wait to see where Hickman will take it. Also this episode, The Massive, some more AvX and The Walking Dead.

Episode 083: The Crackers Episode

This week, Vince and I discuss (over crackers) some new things coming to digital comics. There are some cool projects on the horizon, and we’re excited to see them grow. We also tackle Skullkickers issues 14-15, which give us the origin of “the gun”! Fantastic stuff. Enjoy.

Episode 080: Uncharted Territory

This week, you may actually think that Vince and I know what we’re doing… that is, till you get to the outtakes at the end of the episode. Then, you will realize that we’re just excessively medicated and tired and that the power of editing is the only thing which makes us sound reasonably intelligent. Still, t’was a fun episode.

Episode 073: My Money’s On Cap

This week, Vince and I cover the Eisner nominees before diving into the Avengers vs X-Men event launch… which sucked. Honestly, we had very little good to say about the first two issues (0 & 1). Basically, Scott’s ruining it for everyone. Thanks for peeing in the pool, Scott! Everybody out. On the docket News 2012 Eisner Nominees No “Best New Series” this year.
