Episode 199: Now you know how it feels

This week, Vince and I discuss a recent favorite of his from Valiant, The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage. Truth is, I loved the series as well. It is very well written, with great characters and some original story elements. Not to mention awesome art. We also tackled Marvel’s Star Wars, Injustice in the hands of a new writer, X-Men, Spiders and Wolvies. Enjoy.

Episode 187: Time’s Running Out

Episode 187: Time’s Running Out

This week, Vince decided to force a bunch of either nonsensical or bad comics on me. With the Avengers’ “Time Runs Out” event shifting gears, he figured it would make a good jumping on point for someone like me who hasn’t been keeping up with it. Turns out, as usual, that he was wrong. And of course, given the opportunity, he tried to get me to read Thor. Interesting discussion in the What We’re Reading segment, as we also covered a lot of the new comic book shows on television. Enjoy listening to the duck that got loose in my recording office when we started discussing Gotham.

Episode 139: Infinity Begins

This week, Vince and I tackle the start of Infinity from Marvel. So far, Hickman and crew have been doing a fantastic job, though we did have a few critiques. And then there’s Superior Spider-Man.

Episode 134: The Enemy Within

Episode 134: The Enemy Within

This week, Vince and I tackle The Enemy Within story-arc which ran through several series, and saw Captain Marvel going up against a power foe from her past. Vince and I are both massive Captain Marvel fans, not to mention huge Kelly Sue DeConnick fans, so this was a great treat for us. We also discussed Age of Ultron and it’s fallout in What We’re Reading… as well as a few Hickman series. Ah Hickman… you sick, demented bastard. We love ya. Enjoy. P.S. Please forgive our light jabs at our buddy Joe at the beginning of the episode. Joe co-hosts with us on our various gaming podcasts… though he has occasionally made promises which have never seen the light of day.

Episode 127: Phenomenamal Work

Continuing with our summer movie tie-ins month, this week we tackle the man of steel, ol’ Superman himself. The new movie’s script was practically taken off of the pages of Superman: Birthright, written in 2003 by Mark Waid. Vince and I both loved it, though did have a few things to point out that we weren’t trilled with. Enjoy.

Episode 123: Kid Kurt, Gone Too Soon

This week, Vince and I tackle the X-Termination event which terminated several on-going series. Overall, we weren’t that crazy about it. Sure, there were a few moments of glory, but overall, we felt these series deserved better endings.

Episode 112: STILL MY Podcast

Vince and I really loved the Death of the Family story-arc that just wrapped up in the Batman titles. Snyder has proven that he’s got the chops to handle intricate mysteries and bat-shit crazy thrillers. Also this week, lots of X-Men, Avengers and even some Ghostbusters.

Episode 104: Poor Kid Kurt

This week, Vince and I talk about our favorite blue kid with a Spidey lunchpail… that’s right, kid Kurt from X-Treme X-Men. Issues 6 and 7 were absolutely fantastic. Also this week, more number ones from Avengers, Thunderbolts and Cable & X-Force. We also tackle some very interesting issues in What We’re Reading, including Suicide Squad. And as if that’s not enough of a shocker for you, get this… I’ve been really diggin’ the Death in the Family tie-in within the last few issues. Enjoy.

Episode 076: The Omega Effect

Episode 076: The Omega Effect

This week, Vince and I tackle The Omega Effect, a 3-part cross-over which started in Avenging Spider-Man, wound its way through to The Punisher and finally into Daredevil. Vince and I both agree that the concept had potential, however the execution left much to be desired. The story had far too many ill-written bits, which is very surprising considering the talent behind it, namely Greg Rucka and Mark Waid. Let us know what you thought of the cross-over story-arc. Oh, and Vince wanted to say that he’s an idiot and forgot to mention that Saturday, May 5th, is Free Comic Book Day.

Episode 067: Grim Hunt

Episode 067: Grim Hunt

We were thrilled to hear that Jonathan Maberry had been nominated for a Stoker Award for Marvel Universe vs Wolverine, and wish him the best of luck. We’re also very happy that the medium is finally getting a shot at an award this year. It’s about time comics are more widely recognized as being able to deliver great stories, as with traditional books/short stories. So this is the week I’ve been waiting for… well, at least since last week. Vince made me read Kraven’s Last Hunt as well as Grim Hunt, and as became apparent last week, I was nowhere near as enthusiastic about either of these story arcs as Vince is. We tackled the first story arc last week, opening up the flood gates for our argument regarding the second this week. Enjoy. Annoying Vince for the enjoyment of our listeners is all in a day’s work for me.
