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 189: Gotham Central

Episode 189: Gotham Central

After bashing Gotham (TV) a while back, Vince decided it’d be a good idea to read how a similar story can be made to work. Gotham Central was a fantastic series which contained award-winning story-arcs. Also discussed this week, X-Force, Baldur’s gate, The Walking Dead, Spidey, Wolvie and more. Enjoy.

Episode 113: Cover your hoochy-coochy!

This week’s podcast started slow, however the content got us fairly excited at points. We absolutely loved the new Uncanny X-Men, from the writing to the art (god, that art); however we weren’t as enamoured with DC’s new wave. Also, though I hate ruining a surprise, for those reading the show notes prior to listening to the podcast, we are putting on a fantastic contest. Make sure to listen to the end of the episode for details on the prize and how to enter. Enjoy.

What a week. Once again, I was allowed to guest on Vince’s podcast. I always feel so privileged when he gives me such a chance. It’s awesome. For those who don’t follow us on Twitter, you may have missed this exchange. This should explain it. Interesting conversation this week regarding The Sixth Gun. Both Vince and I agree it is quite a good series. Enjoy.

Episode 099: Bette Midler With Claws

This week, Vince and I tackle some fantastic comics. First we talk about the end of Hickman’s run on the Fantastic titles, and we both agree that he went out in style. These two issues are insanely good. And then we talk about the recent TMNT issues, specifically those dealing with Casey’s abusive father, and the importance of family. Very, very fun episode, and make sure to join us next week for an awesome 100th!

Holy crap on a cracker, I forgot to publish the show notes after last week’s episode, even though they were written up and ready to go. /facepalm I blame the new pain meds. Anyway, here they are.

Episode 084: Einstein’s A Badass

This week, Vince and I have a lot of fun discussing one of our favorite new series, and that’s The Manhattan Projects by Sir Jonathan Hickman. Yes, I just knighted him. He deserves it! The series is only four issues in (three of which are discussed in this episode) and it is already setting itself up to be one of our favorites this year. Absolutely fantastic stuff, and we cannot wait to see where Hickman will take it. Also this episode, The Massive, some more AvX and The Walking Dead.

Episode 078: Exalted

Episode 078: Exalted

This week, Vince and I have the pleasure of discussing an absolutely fantastic story arc which ran in Astonishing X-Men recently, penned by Greg Pak. “Exalted” is a great story involving alternate dimensions, complete with a kid Kurt and his adorable Spider-Man lunchpail. Seriously… I want to adopt that kid. We both really enjoyed this story, though did have choicer words for some of what we’ve been reading; I’m looking at you Avenging Spider-Man, The Walking Dead and the Astonishing X-Men which followed Pak’s run. Enjoy the show.

Episode 063: Flash = Awesome

This week, Vince and I tackle yet another DC new series which we are so absolutely loving, and that is The Flash. We also discuss the state of The Green Lantern, which to be honest, is not that great. Also discussed is the Watchmen prequel announcement. Vince and I have differing opinions on this one, though not enough that it came to blows. I’m just more open to something positive coming out of this… whereas he’s quite skeptical and worried. Great episode, enjoy.
