Episode 204: Lotta Dark

Episode 204: Lotta Dark

This week, Vince and I tackle a, well, a very dark story-arc in Batman: Dark Knight. It revolves around the Riddler, who is much… darker… than usual. Batman has to take part in a number of riddles which are far harsher than any we’ve seen from the Riddler before. We also discuss Uncanny X-Men and our love of Eva, as well as Thor, Bitch Planet, X-Force, the magic mirror, Miles and much more. Oh, and we discuss the possibility of Peter not being white. And to any who oppose that notion, get over it. Whether we see a black or hispanic Peter, or a full-blown Miles Morales Spider-Man, we’re on board.

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 192: Wayward

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.

Episode 175: Leaves on the Wind

Episode 175: Leaves on the Wind

This week, Vince and I return to Serenity, covering the mini-series “Leaves on the Wind” which just ended. We both absolutely loved it, which is no surprise. It’s not just that we’re massive fans of the IP. The mini-series is fantastic, even for folks new to Firefly. We also discussed a whole lotta comics in the What We’re Reading segment. Ok, I discussed a lotta comics. Vince patiently waited for his turn. Enjoy.

Episode 163: Out of Time

Episode 163: Out of Time

With the recent release of Captain America 2 (the movie), Vince thought it was the perfect time to tackle the origin of the Winter Soldier. While not a huge fan of Cap’s, I still do enjoy well-written stories which feature him, and this certain fit that bill. Vince also gave his thoughts on the movie. If you’d been on the fence about watching it, this should help you decide. And lastly, great stuff in our What We’re Reading segment, including several self-published comics. Enjoy.

Episode 152: The Gauntlet

Episode 152: The Gauntlet

This week, Vince and I tackle the Gauntlet, a very trying period in Mr. Peter Parker’s life. During these issues, Parker had to deal with his most iconic foes, including his most fearsome: Anti-May (you think I’m joking, but I’m not… May was straight-up scary as hell in some of these issues). It was also during this time that Parker finally got the stones to ask Detective Carlie out; dealt with his in-costume, sexy-time romance with Black Cat; and fended off Norah’s advances. It was also during the Shed story-arc that the Lizard killed Dr. Connors’ son. Iconic moments in Spider-Man’s history, all well worth reading. Well, except for the Electro and Vulture story-arcs… you can skip those, to be honest. Enjoy.

Episode 121: Handful of Number 1s

This week, Vince and I tackle a handful of number 1s, from Marvel, DC and Image. Overall, there was something to enjoy in each, whether just for one or both of us. Except Wolverine. We both agree there’s absolutely no need for yet another generic Wolverine title.

Episode 119: Injustice… not as bad as we’d imagined

Episode 119: Injustice… not as bad as we’d imagined

When Vince pitched this week’s episode to me, he didn’t even try to sugar-coat it. This was to be an episode where we make fun of something absolutely terrible. Thing is, the series actually has several redeeming qualities. Enough to make us keep reading it, which is saying a lot considering how many comics we read each week. Check it out and leave us a comment telling us what you think of Injustice and if you think we were far off the mark with our thoughts.

Episode 116: The Death of Damian

This week, Vince and I discuss the death of Damian. We give our thoughts on event, if it can in fact be qualified as such. We also discuss a new series which allows you to pay what you want per issue. We were actually very impressed with The Private Eye. You’ll want to hear what we have to say about it. And of course, Uncanny Skullkickers. Finally. As well as the winner of the signed copy. W00T! Enjoy.

Episode 106: Iron Fist

This week, Vince and I first tackle some very disappointing news from DC (which appears to be the norm as of late), as well as yet more X-News from Marvel. We also gush about Immortal Iron Fist. And if you’re tired of hearing about Spider-Man, just skip over my portion of “What We’re Reading”… though if you do, I’ll be sorely disappointed… and a little hurt perhaps. Enjoy folks.
