Episode 259: ACC… F%$# those losers!

The Eisner nominations are in, and Vince and I have a few words to say about them… some good… some like every other year we discuss the Eisners. As we didn’t have much else to talk about, we decided on a big ol’ grab bag episode, covering everything from Moon Knight to TV’s Supergirl… hell, even some praise for a Star Wars novel. Enjoy. Also, check out All Comics Considered, as we prep for a massive Civil War episode.

Episode 257: MARTHA!

Episode 257: MARTHA!

This week, Vince and I tackle the end of the latest Rat Queens story-arc. We have been vocal fans of this series since it began, however we both agreed that this story-arc was a hot mess… especially the last issue. We also discussed Doctor Mirage, Injustice, Saga, Vader, and of course, a certain movie that nearly no one likes. Enjoy.

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 254: The Dark Knight Returns

Episode 254: The Dark Knight Returns

This week, after a mere 253 episodes, we finally remembered, I mean decided to talk about one of the most iconic Batman stories: The Dark Knight Return. I recall when this originally was published, and the impression it left on a generation of comic book readers. Decades later, I feel it still holds up, and should be required reading for any true Batman fan. We kept going with the Batman theme throughout our What We’re Reading segment, and also covered Weirdworld, Spider-Man and Deadpool and Injustice. Enjoy.

Episode 252: The Black Mirror

Episode 252: The Black Mirror

This week, Vince and I tackled Snyder’s work on Detective Comics which saw Dick taking over the cowl for a while. The story arc was quite good, and gripping to the very end. As promised, Vince also gave his thoughts on the Deadpool movie, and I tackled Arrow, the TV show, as it pertains to a recent story arc which saw Felicity in a wheel chair. We also covered Chew, Justice League, Kanan and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 245: Kanan

Episode 245: Kanan

This week, Vince and I tackle one of my favourite Star Wars series, Kanan (no longer The Last Padawan). I have been absolutely loving the second season of Star Wars: Rebels (animated series), and seeing how closely tied it is with Kanan, has made both that much more enjoyable. Also this week, we covered Doctor Strange, Chew, Invincible, Injustice, Pretty Deadly and lots more. Enjoy. p.s. We are on Stitcher!

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 234: YOU’RE NOT BATMAN!

Episode 234: YOU’RE NOT BATMAN!

This week, Vince figured we’d try something different. He’d wanted us to read and discuss Astro City for a while. His heart was in the right place. I tapped out partway through the first issue, however Vince covered the first 6 issues. He didn’t have much to contribute during our What We’re Reading, so I discussed a few projects I found interesting this week. Including this Star Wars webcomic (link as promised). Enjoy.

Episode 233: Abominamabubble

Episode 233: Abominamabubble

This week, Vince takes us back to the internets for a fantastic web comic by Karl Kerschl. The Abominable Charles Christopher is a rare web comic that should be experienced by anyone who has an appreciation of multi-layered storytelling that at odds makes you laugh and crushes your soul… often at the same time. As for what we’re reading, we talked Weirdworld, Gotham by Midnight, Injustice and spiders! Enjoy.

Episode 231: Movie Night

Episode 231: Movie Night

This week, I decided to subject Vince to something horrible… as a way of showing that I care. The horrible thing in question wasn’t a comic book, but rather a comic book movie. You know where I’m going with this. So in this episode, Vince and I consume a few drinks and tear down Fantastic Four. But don’t worry, we also discuss some awesome comics in our What We’re Reading segment. Enjoy. Discussion Fantastic Four (movie) What We’re Reading Vince: Siege, Thors, Groot, Wicked and the Divine Roger: Civil War, Injustice, Batman, Batman Beyond, Darth Vader New Releases Marvel: Agent Carter S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th Anniversary #1 All-New Hawkeye #5 Armor Wars #5 Captain America White #1 (Of 5) Secret Wars 2099 #1 Secret Wars Journal #5 (Of 5) Spider-Island #4 (Of 5) Spider-Verse #5 Star Wars #9 Star Wars Lando #4 (Of 5) True Believers She-Hulk #1 True Believers Thor #1 DC: Batman Arkham Knight Genesis #2 (Of 6) Constantine The Hellblazer #4 Injustice Gods Among Us Year Four #10 Wonder Woman #44 Image: Invincible #123 Rat Queens #12 Sex Criminals #12 Tokyo Ghost #1 Other: Groo Friends And Foes #9 (Dark Horse) Paybacks #1 (Dark Horse) iTunes | RSS feed If you enjoy the show, please make certain to stop by iTunes and leave us a review!...
