Episode 147: Battle of the Awesome Atom

This week, we finally get to talk about X-Men: Battle of the Atom. Both Vince and I loved this story-arc. The writing was fantastic and the art was jaw-dropping. We also discuss a lot of other titles in our What We’re Reading segment. Enjoy.

Episode 143: Samurai Zub

This week, Vince and I are joined by Jim Zub once again. We’ve often spoken about our love of Skullkickers, however Zub is bringing something new out that we’re even more excited about: Samurai Jack. This was a fantastic interview, which we’re certain you’ll all enjoy. Keep listening to future episodes, because we should be getting our signed copies of Samurai Jack soon, and those bad boys’ll be given away to some lucky listeners. Enjoy.

Episode 141: Reign

This week, Vince and I tackle an older Spider-Man series. Opinions on this series appear to be on either side of the fence, with very few people ambivalent about it; folks either really love it or despise. As it would happen, both Vince and I thought it was brilliant on so many levels. Let us know what you thought about the series in the comments. Also, we discuss some X-Men, Thor, Carnage and Batman Beyond. Enjoy.

Episode 133: It’s always bite me play time

This week, Vince and I tackle a bunch of new creator-owned #1s. While it was still hit or miss, it’s always nice to get more creator-owned work. For this episode, we tackle The Wake, Lazarus, Ghosted and Sheltered. We also tackled a lot of various titles in our What We’re Reading segment, making up for lost time last episode. Enjoy. Oh, and I apologize for the quality (or lack therein) of my track. I’d moved my mixer over the weekend, and apparently I’d accidentally caught one of the knobs with a cable, as it was turned nearly off, removing most of the higher frequency. /shrug… never claimed to be a genius Discussion The Wake #1 Lazarus #1 Ghosted #1 Sheltered #1 What We’re Reading Vince: X-Factor, Wolverine, Superman/Batman, Injustice Roger: Ultimate Comics Spiderman, Superior Spiderman, Savage Wolverine, Wolverine; Japan’s Most Wanted, Batman Beyond (a bit) New Releases Marvel: Captain Marvel #14 FF #10 Guardians of the Galaxy #5 Indestructible Hulk #11 Ultimates #28 Uncanny X-Force #9 Uncanny X-Men #9 Venom #38 What If?

Episode 128: Classic Wolverine

Continuing with our summer movie reading list, we’ve got classic Wolverine… the way Miller intended him. This series, released in the early eighties, is one of the best Wolverine stories ever told. Not surprisingly, it holds up today. Enjoy.

Episode 112: STILL MY Podcast

Vince and I really loved the Death of the Family story-arc that just wrapped up in the Batman titles. Snyder has proven that he’s got the chops to handle intricate mysteries and bat-shit crazy thrillers. Also this week, lots of X-Men, Avengers and even some Ghostbusters.

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.

Episode 107: Marvel Universe vs the Avengers

This week, Vince and I happily return to Jonathan Maberry’s demented vision of the Marvel Universe, with Marvel Universe vs the Avengers. We’ve loved each of his mini-series and this one is no exception.
