Episode 186: Spider-Verse

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 181: Big Hero 6

Episode 181: Big Hero 6

With the Disney movie coming soon, Vince decided it’d be a good time to tackle Big Hero 6; specifically, we cover the Chris Claremont mini-series from 2008. While the story was all over the place, the characters were interesting enough that we’d really love to see a modern retelling. In our What We’re Reading segment, we cover some Godzilla, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Batman and more. Enjoy.

Episode 180: The Trial of Jean Grey

Episode 180: The Trial of Jean Grey

This week, we continue on with some Guardians of the Galaxy loving’, by discussing a recent cross-over with the All-New X-Men: The Trial of Jean Grey. This was an odd event. Both Vince and I agreed that it felt so forced, a vehicle meant only to pair these two teams together. However even once paired, despite fantastic character moments, the plot itself never gave us much substance. We also discussed the Cyclops series which sprung from this event, which has been quite good. Plus, lots more in What We’re Reading. Enjoy.

Episode 165.1: Superior Spider-Man Finale

Episode 165.1: Superior Spider-Man Finale

I had a feeling we would have a lot to say about the finale to one of the most exciting series of the year. While many criticized Dan Slott for his work on Superior Spider-Man, Vince and I have supported him since (almost) the start. Slott took a tired cliche and ran with it to the five yard line. The question is, did he score a touchdown with issues 30-31? Listen in for our thoughts on the finale to this epic storyline.

Episode 162: Future Justice Leagues Are Awesome

Episode 162: Future Justice Leagues Are Awesome

This week, Vince and I discuss our favorite Justice League series, which both coincidentally exist outside of the current “established” cannon. Both take place in the future, and maybe because of that, and because of the freedom that writing outside of the current cannon presents, both series are absolutely fantastic. Enjoy the episode.

Episode 161: Goblins and Teens

Episode 161: Goblins and Teens

Due to mix of real life events, the detailed length of which would exceed the average grocery list, both Vince and I were unable to record for a few weeks. For those who thought the podcast was dying a quiet death, nothing could be further from the truth. Should this podcast ever die, I assure you, it will go down screaming… drunkenly. That said, things have settled back into a routine again, which means you’ll be getting your weekly fix of me every week. And Vince, if you care about that bastard. Enjoy the episode.

Episode 160: Punisher Cross-Overs

Episode 160: Punisher Cross-Overs

Over the years, Vince has made me read some truly terrible comics. He’s thrived on it, in fact. When flipping through whatever crap he’s had me read in a given “bad” week, I always imagine him with steepled fingers, cackling lightly… maniacally. I never retaliated though. Until this week. I decided enough was enough. This week, I was going to make him read some truly terrible comics. Revenge would be mine. Plus, it would make for a funny episode. Little did I realize Vince would not actually read the assigned comics, but rather simply leaf through them and infer the story from the pretty pictures. Bastard. Enjoy the episode.

Episode 158: Nextwave

On this episode of Comic Book Informer, Vince chose an old favorite of his: Nextwave. Warren Ellis has been getting more attention as of late, so Vince chose this series as it is a favorite among comic creators and fans. Our What We’re Reading segment was especially long this week, as we had a lot of excellent comics to discuss. Enjoy. Discussion Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.

Episode 153: Deadpool vs Invincible

This week, Vince and I discuss Invincible. I don’t know what Vince had planned, but apparently he felt like discussing Deadpool. The fool. This is our last episode of 2013, and I must say, it was a ton of fun. Hope you all enjoy it, have a fantastic new year’s eve, and we’ll see you in 2014.
