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 253: Should we care that Spidey’s black?

Episode 253: Should we care that Spidey’s black?

This week, Vince decided we should talk about a couple new issues which caused some stir on the internets. Black Widow’s reboot was something that I had been dreading, simply because I’d been so enamoured with the last series. Sadly, while this first issue was impressive in some regards, I simply found it didn’t have enough story to warrant the cover price… great art or not. And then there was Spider-Man #2, which attempted to stir up crap, by having the writer use the main character’s voice to say that race doesn’t matter. A nice sentiment, certainly; however the fact is, it does. We are fighting to be more inclusive with our super-heroes, which means race does matter. Gender matters. Sexual orientation matters. Religion matters. Disabilities and mental health matters. We want more variety in our comics, more diversity, and more representation. So don’t tell us it doesn’t matter if Spidey’s black or not. Simply understand that it does. Lots more this week as well, with Wayward, X-Men, Transformers, Batman, Bitch Planet and more. Enjoy.

Episode 225: Our Favorite Secret War

Episode 225: Our Favorite Secret War

This week, I decide we should read the best of the Secret Wars… arguably because it had nothing to do with Secret Wars (the plural). I’m talking about Fury’s Secret War (singular) which came out in 2004-2005. The event spanned a few series, and told a gripping political thriller involving a hit on a Prime Minister and eventual retribution. Bendis did a spectacular job on the writing. And not to be outdone, Dell’Otto killed it on the painted art. Read it. Our What We’re Reading segment was a little light this week, but we still covered some fun stuff. Enjoy.

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 202: Spidey’s Coming Home

With all of the recent (wonderful) news, we were certain to run long this episode… and we did. But check it out, we gabbed about Spider-Man returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, A-Force (please… please Marvel, rename this as soon as possible) and DC’s upcoming line-up. In terms of comics, well, we had to discuss Poke-Superman’s evolved power, as well as the scary space mirror. We covered a lot of titles in What We’re Reading, from Saga and Borderlands, to Wolvies and a bunch of new Image titles… as well as an iOS visual novel/comic that I checked out. 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 186: Spider-Verse

This week, Vince and I discuss the Spider-Verse event. We’ve already gotten some fantastic issues, and while we didn’t agree on all of them, we do agree that the event as a whole has been absolutely spectacular (no pun intended). We also had some fun comics to discuss in our What We’re Reading segment, including Invincible, Chew, Batman Beyond, Rot & Ruin and more. 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 182: Valiant Delinquents

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.
