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 136: Friggin’ Turtles

Episode 136: Friggin’ Turtles

Normally, Vince likes to wait till a story-arc is done before covering it on the podcast, however after reading the last issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he just couldn’t hold it in anymore. This week, we talk about the first three issues of the on-going story-arc, gushing about the writing, the art, hell, even the fight choreography. Everything rocks. We also cover a creator-owned series which was submitted to us for review. The series, Zoe: Out of Time is available quite cheap, and is well worth the cost. It’s not without a few minor issues, but overall, it’s definitely something you’ll want to check out. Also this week, a crapload of different titles in the What We’re Reading segment. Enjoy.

This week, Vince and I were thrilled to be joined by the creator of Sequential Art, Battle Bunnies and a new favorite, Little Victory.

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.
