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 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 229: How low can you go?

Episode 229: How low can you go?

This week, Vince suggested I read a series that he’s been quite excited about for a while: Low. It’s written by a favorite or ours, so it would stand to reason that I’d like it. While I did enjoy it, quite a bit at times, there were still a few things that irked me from time to time. Let us know if you agree. As for what we’re reading, we cover everything from Marvel Zombies to Injustice (which is STILL one of the best things DC is currently putting out). Enjoy.

Episode 218: Either give it to me now, or not at all

Episode 218: Either give it to me now, or not at all

This week, Vince decided we should talk about some new DC shenanigans. Well, some new and some old shenanigans. Green Lantern and Justice League each have their own version of Hal Jordan. As discussed during the podcast, it’s going to get a little confusing moving forward, for both of the big two. We tackled a bunch of Secret Wars in our What We’re Reading segment, as well as Han’s big surprise, Postal, Saga, The Wicked and the Divine and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 211: Daredevil (Netflix)

Episode 211: Daredevil (Netflix)

This week, we had every intention of discussing Ultron and some Avengers, but Daredevil happened. Social media exploded with Daredevil chatter, nearly all of it overwhelmingly positive. I’m talking, of course, about the brand new Netflix series. The entire season (13 episodes) was made available, and like most folks, Vince and I binge watched it all. At the time of this recording, I’d not yet seen the last episode, though I have since. Please note, this episode is full of spoilers, so if you’ve not finished the season, be forewarned. If you’re wondering, we did also manage to discuss actual comics in our lengthy What We’re Reading segment. Enjoy.

Episode 138: Trinity of Stupidity

Episode 138: Trinity of Stupidity

This week, Vince and I tackle the Trinity War. Overall, there were a lot of disappointments with but a few moments of enjoyment. We both went in with fairly low expectations, and not surprisingly, were still disappointed. Far too much of the event felt forced and it seemed like whenever they needed a solution to some problem, they just pulled something out of thin air without any lead-up to it.

This week, Vince and I happily return to Jonathan Maberry’s demented vision of the Marvel Universe, with Marvel Universe vs the Avengers.

Episode 071: Getting Caught Up On The X-Peeps

This week, Vince and I get caught up on the two newest X-Peeps series; namely Uncanny X-Men and Wolvie and his Peeps. Lots has happened in both of these series, which makes for a fun conversation. Also, Vince disapproves of me having my own opinions. Yet again.

Episode 051: Discussing Girl Parts

This week, we brought Tart Darling back for an interview discussing the state of women in comic books; especially DC’s relaunch. It was a fantastic interview and I’m certain everyone will enjoy it. Discussion In a change from the normal discussion, we won’t be focusing on the issues themselves, but rather the characters and what makes them good/bad and interesting from the perspective of a female reader.

Episode 043: Kung Fu Spider

Episode 043: Kung Fu Spider

This week’s episode was supposed to remain on track… however both Vince and I couldn’t contain our chattier selves with the topics; Spider Island, the end of Flashpoint and the start of DC’s relaunch with Justice League #1. Long, but fantastic episode.
