Secret Wars Archives - Comic Book Informer

Episode 247: Switcharoos, part of a balanced breakfast

This week, we split our main discussion between Marvel and DC, and in a surprising twist, we far preferred the DC comics. I guess it helps that they were both written by Tom Taylor. We also spent quite a bit of time on the Secret Wars wrap-up… and suffice it to say, we could have dedicated an entire, extra-long episode to that final issue alone. Plus, lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 243: Of Bats and Turtles

This week, Vince lined up a few DC titles, as well as an epic cross-over. While we didn’t care all that much about Batman and Lex’s Darkseid one-shot, the fact is, that Batman/TMNT cross-over was absolutely fantastic. Except for that Batmobile design. Yeah, someone should get fired for that. PS. Sorry for my voice this week. I’ve been fighting a bad cold for a week now and it’s taken its toll on my voice.

Episode 239: Fallen Angels

This week, once again, Vince forced me to read something before reading it himself. This time, he took me back to the 80s, following reject New Mutants in X-Men: Fallen Angels. The mini-series ran for eight issues, however I could only get through four. The problem is that it is very much an 80s series, requiring actual effort to muscle through it. In our What We’re Reading segment, we covered some new Marvels, as well as the 7th issue of Secret Wars, which even Vince agreed was meh. Enjoy.

Episode 222: What the hell, Layman… haven’t we been through enough?

This week, Vince and I tackle the conclusion to a major story-arc in Chew… and spoiler… it was FANTASTIC. We also discussed a couple new series, only one of which truly got our attention. In our What We’re Reading segment, yet more Secret Wars shenanigans, as well as some Injustice, Tales of Honor and Bats. 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 217: Future Imperfect

This week, with Maestro back in the limelight thanks to Secret Wars, Vince decided it was as good a time as any to talk about Future Imperfect, the Hulk story that introduced Maestro to the world. We also discuss Convergence, Secret Wars, some Guardians Team-Up and more. Enjoy.

Episode 216: Biggest Jerk Poll

This week, Vince and I discuss several new Image series. We adored one of them, and couldn’t agree on the other two. Let us know which you prefer (as well as which one of us is the bigger jerk). In our What We’re Reading segment, we dove head-first into some fairly hefty discussions, from Thor, Bitch Planet, Angela and a variety of spiders… not to mention Convergence and Wolverines. Enjoy.

Episode 215: Convergence vs Secret Wars

With Convergence and Secret Wars both hitting us at exactly the same time, it's only fitting that we tear them both apart in an extra-long episode of Comic Book Informer. While there are hints of great things within each, those moments are lost in what can only be described as a convoluted mess....

Episode 188: Inditimawhat?

This week, we shoot the breeze about some of the NYCC announcements, as well as cover several new DC comics. Our What We’re Reading segment also tackles a whole lotta different comics, including Axis, Spider-Verse, Death of Wolvie, and more. Enjoy.
