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 207: The All-New Uncanny Daily Globe

This week, Vince decided we needed to discuss Daredevil again… and I’m kinda glad he did. We discussed Bendis’ Out story-arc, and both of us agreed that it is absolutely fantastic. Also discussed this week, Thor, and as I said during the podcast, mark your calendars, because this was the day I defended Thor against Vince. Tons of other comics during What We’re Reading. And now that Vince has pointed it out, I’m beginning to see a pattern in the number of entries I have every week. Perhaps I’ll have to start limiting my comics. 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 182: Valiant Delinquents

This week, we tackle some Valiant comics. Vince has been praising Archer and Armstrong for quite some time now, so he decided it was time for me to start reading it as well. He also tossed in some Quantum and Woody and The Delinquents for good measure. In our What We’re Reading segment, we touched on some great stuff from Nova, Magneto, and of course, Skull-Kickers.

Episode 175: Leaves on the Wind

This week, Vince and I return to Serenity, covering the mini-series “Leaves on the Wind” which just ended. We both absolutely loved it, which is no surprise. It’s not just that we’re massive fans of the IP. The mini-series is fantastic, even for folks new to Firefly. We also discussed a whole lotta comics in the What We’re Reading segment. Ok, I discussed a lotta comics. Vince patiently waited for his turn. Enjoy.

This week, Vince and I tackle a Dresden Files comic mini-series… and this makes us both very happy. We’re both fans of Harry Dresden, Chicago resident wizard, and this series was a lot of fun. Also this week, some favourites of ours which didn’t exactly live up to expectations. Enjoy.

Episode 108: Making out with himself

This week, Vince and I tackle more of the new Marvel NOW! titles, with a couple Avengers and some X-Peeps. Honestly, I’ve gotten really tired of the adjective stupidity with the titles, or perhaps we should say lack of imagination. Vince points this out with the “New Avengers”, which doesn’t really jive with the story. Enjoy.
