Episode 233: Abominamabubble

This week, Vince takes us back to the internets for a fantastic web comic by Karl Kerschl. The Abominable Charles Christopher is a rare web comic that should be experienced by anyone who has an appreciation of multi-layered storytelling that at odds makes you laugh and crushes your soul… often at the same time. As for what we’re reading, we talked Weirdworld, Gotham by Midnight, Injustice and spiders! Enjoy.

Episode 224: Grab Bag

This week, Vince decided we should have one massive What We’re Reading episode. Ok, I decided on the massive part. He decided on the What We’re Reading. Listen, there were a lot of comics I was compelled to discuss, not the least of which being the amazing Groot #2. We also touched on a couple movies: Ant-Man (Vince) and Justice League: Gods and Monsters, the animated film (me). Fun episode. Enjoy.

Episode 219: Bats, Earth 2 and Starfire

This week, more DC! Vince figured the Batman story-arc is simply too huge not to cover immediately. And with a new Earth 2 and Starfire out, that gives us comics to praise and criticize in the same week. We also cover some great stuff in What We’re Reading, with some Gotham Academy, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Verse as well as some Secret Wars and more. Enjoy.

Episode 203: Spider-Verse Climax

This week, Vince and I tackle the epic Spider-Verse finale. Truth be told, while it was certainly good, it actually left the both of us craving more. More character interactions. More harsh realities by way of Spiders willing to do whatever it takes. More of a resolution to the individual team-up stories. Still, it was a hell of an issue. Also this week, we tackle Darth Vader and Divinity. No mixed feelings there as to which we loved and which we hated. In our What We’re Reading segment, we discussed some fantastic comics, as well as the Agent Carter television series which has impressed the hell out of us. Enjoy.

Episode 199: Now you know how it feels

This week, Vince and I discuss a recent favorite of his from Valiant, The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage. Truth is, I loved the series as well. It is very well written, with great characters and some original story elements. Not to mention awesome art. We also tackled Marvel’s Star Wars, Injustice in the hands of a new writer, X-Men, Spiders and Wolvies. Enjoy.

Episode 195: Welcome to Lovecraft

This week, I decided we should focus on some older comics again. We haven’t had a retro episode for a while. Granted, we didn’t go that far back… just to 2008 for the start of Locke and Key. We also started the show off with some movie chatter (TMNT and Captain America 2), as well as some love for DC’s announcement of movie poster inspired covers coming our way in March of ’15. Also, tons of comics in our What We’re Reading segment. Seriously. Tons. Enjoy.

Episode 193: Looking For Trouble

We were late recording this week, thanks to Vince’s crazy work schedule and my flu. That said, we did want to still get this episode out as we had so many great titles to discuss. We’ve got some movie and TV news, some Guardians of the Galaxy solo titles, Spider-Verse, Death of Wolvie, some more Wayward love and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 192: Wayward

This week, Vince decided we should cover Rocket Raccoon. But then he didn’t read Rocket Raccoon. So he decided we should cover something he had read: Wayward. Truth be told, I can’t get mad at him, as I loved Wayward and was looking forward to discussing it. Also this week, a bunch of new Marvel #1s, some more death of Wolvie, Spider-Verse and more. Enjoy.
