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 209: Lotta D in that Cell Block

Episode 209: Lotta D in that Cell Block

This week, we’re back with more Daredevil. Devil in Cell Block D is a fantastic prison suspense/drama. We get lots of great moments as events chip away at Matt’s calm demeanour, revealing the troubled soul beneath. I was far more critical of this story-arc than Vince, though part of that many be because we’ve read three “is he or isn’t he” Daredevil story-arcs this month. Still, it was a great story, and while not mandatory reading, it certainly does get a strong recommendation. Lost of Magic Mirrors to complain about in What We’re Reading; though also some great comics like Gotham by Midnight and New Avengers. Enjoy.

Episode 203: Spider-Verse Climax

Episode 203: Spider-Verse Climax

This week, Vince and I tackle the epic Spider-Verse finale. Truth be told, while it was certainly good, it actually left the both of us craving more. More character interactions. More harsh realities by way of Spiders willing to do whatever it takes. More of a resolution to the individual team-up stories. Still, it was a hell of an issue. Also this week, we tackle Darth Vader and Divinity. No mixed feelings there as to which we loved and which we hated. In our What We’re Reading segment, we discussed some fantastic comics, as well as the Agent Carter television series which has impressed the hell out of us. Enjoy.

Episode 193: Looking For Trouble

We were late recording this week, thanks to Vince’s crazy work schedule and my flu. That said, we did want to still get this episode out as we had so many great titles to discuss. We’ve got some movie and TV news, some Guardians of the Galaxy solo titles, Spider-Verse, Death of Wolvie, some more Wayward love and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 191: Spiders and Magic Critters

Episode 191: Spiders and Magic Critters

This week, we’ve got spiders and magic critters; and we loved all of them. The spiders come courtesy of Spider-Verse, which has finally started. The lead-up has been spectacular (pun intended), so what did we think of the launch? The answer to that’s probably obvious. We also tackled the first issue of Tooth & Claw, a brilliantly written and illustrated new series from Image. Plus lots more in our What We’re Reading segment. Enjoy.

Episode 183: Moon Knight

Episode 183: Moon Knight

This week, Vince decided we should tackle the first six issues of the newest Moon Knight reboot, written by Warren Ellis. We had very differing ideas about the issues, however did agree on the calibre of the writing and art as a whole. In What We’re Reading, we covered a variety of comics, including the 13 issue mini-series, Mass Effect: Foundation, and what it may mean for the next game.

Episode 180: The Trial of Jean Grey

Episode 180: The Trial of Jean Grey

This week, we continue on with some Guardians of the Galaxy loving’, by discussing a recent cross-over with the All-New X-Men: The Trial of Jean Grey. This was an odd event. Both Vince and I agreed that it felt so forced, a vehicle meant only to pair these two teams together. However even once paired, despite fantastic character moments, the plot itself never gave us much substance. We also discussed the Cyclops series which sprung from this event, which has been quite good. Plus, lots more in What We’re Reading. Enjoy.

Episode 166: Rat Queens

Episode 166: Rat Queens

This week, Vince and I cover a new series from Image which has impressed the hell out of us: Rat Queens. We had nothing but positive things to say about the first story arc, so make sure to let us know what you think of it. We also discussed Thrillbent’s new subscription service (which we also love) and the new Image Humble Bundle. Great episode. Make sure to check it out.

Episode 159: Thomas “Badass” Wayne

Episode 159: Thomas “Badass” Wayne

This week, Vince decided we should see what’s been happening in comics that aren’t new (or renumbered) number 1s. He chose the first part of the Trial of Jean Grey, spanning a couple issues, the start of the Utrom Empire retelling, as well as the absolutely fantastic Earth 2 annual written by Tom Taylor, one of our favorite writers. We also had a lot to discuss in What We’re Reading, including the brand new, absolutely wonderful, Ms Marvel. Enjoy.
