Episode 218: Either give it to me now, or not at all

This week, Vince decided we should talk about some new DC shenanigans. Well, some new and some old shenanigans. Green Lantern and Justice League each have their own version of Hal Jordan. As discussed during the podcast, it’s going to get a little confusing moving forward, for both of the big two. We tackled a bunch of Secret Wars in our What We’re Reading segment, as well as Han’s big surprise, Postal, Saga, The Wicked and the Divine and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 216: Biggest Jerk Poll

This week, Vince and I discuss several new Image series. We adored one of them, and couldn’t agree on the other two. Let us know which you prefer (as well as which one of us is the bigger jerk). In our What We’re Reading segment, we dove head-first into some fairly hefty discussions, from Thor, Bitch Planet, Angela and a variety of spiders… not to mention Convergence and Wolverines. Enjoy.

Episode 214: FCBD ’15

This week, Vince and I go through some of the comics we scored on Free Comic Book Day. Vince also gave his thoughts on the new Avengers movie, without spoiling anything. We also touched on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and how we think the story’s progressing. Also, some great stuff in What We’re Reading, including Batman, TMNT and Injustice. Enjoy.

Episode 213: Stiletto and Others

Episode 213: Stiletto and Others

This week, Vince and I give our early thoughts on the Eisner nominations. As always, we didn’t agree with all the choices, and noticed a couple names missing. Still, a number of exceptionally talented folks made it onto the list and that’s what matters. The bulk of our conversation this week came by way of Thrillbent: Stiletto, The Eight Seal, Motorcycle Samurai, and even a little bit of The Best Thing. We also tackled the gay gorilla in the room. Enjoy.

Episode 212: For The Love of Ultron

Episode 212: For The Love of Ultron

This week, Vince and I discuss Ultron, in all his emo glory, within the pages of Avengers: Rage of Ultron, a new Marvel trade-paperback. While the TPB has some good elements, including the exceptional artwork, it suffers from a weak main plot and a ridiculous climax. In our What We’re Reading segment, we dove into Nova, Uncanny X-Men, Convergence, Thor, and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 210: Magik

Episode 210: Magik

This week, I decide we should have another spotlight episode. I decided on Illyana, as she’s such a fantastic character. Magic: Storm and Illyana was a four-part limited series that came out in the early 80s, and shows what occurred during the few seconds while Illyana was stuck in Limbo. While only a few seconds passed for the X-Men, seven long years passed for Illyana, and it is those years which shaped who she is today. In our What We’re Reading segment, as per the norm, Vince had only a couple comics to discuss, while I babbled away for far too long about spiders, padawans, a spry raccoon and of course, Wolverines. Enjoy.

Episode 209: Lotta D in that Cell Block

Episode 209: Lotta D in that Cell Block

This week, we’re back with more Daredevil. Devil in Cell Block D is a fantastic prison suspense/drama. We get lots of great moments as events chip away at Matt’s calm demeanour, revealing the troubled soul beneath. I was far more critical of this story-arc than Vince, though part of that many be because we’ve read three “is he or isn’t he” Daredevil story-arcs this month. Still, it was a great story, and while not mandatory reading, it certainly does get a strong recommendation. Lost of Magic Mirrors to complain about in What We’re Reading; though also some great comics like Gotham by Midnight and New Avengers. Enjoy.

Episode 207: The All-New Uncanny Daily Globe

Episode 207: The All-New Uncanny Daily Globe

This week, Vince decided we needed to discuss Daredevil again… and I’m kinda glad he did. We discussed Bendis’ Out story-arc, and both of us agreed that it is absolutely fantastic. Also discussed this week, Thor, and as I said during the podcast, mark your calendars, because this was the day I defended Thor against Vince. Tons of other comics during What We’re Reading. And now that Vince has pointed it out, I’m beginning to see a pattern in the number of entries I have every week. Perhaps I’ll have to start limiting my comics. Enjoy.

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. Discussion Batman: Dark Knight, Dark City What We’re Reading Vince: Uncanny X-Men, Iron Fist, Thor, Bitch Planet Roger: X-Force, Invincible, Autumnlands: Tooth and Claw, Justice League 3000, Legendary Star-Lord, Ultimate Spider-Man, Multiversity, Rocket Raccoon, Silk, Wolverines New Releases Marvel: All-New X-Men #38 Amazing Spider-Man #15 Amazing X-Men #17 Darth Vader #2 Deadpool #42 New Avengers #30 S.H.I.E.L.D. #3 Spider-Gwen #1 Spider-Man 2099 #9 Thor Annual #1 DC: Batman #39 Batman Eternal #47 Gotham Academy #5 Gotham by Midnight #4 Image: Chew #46 Low #6 The Wicked + The Divine #8 IDW: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #43 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutanimals #1 Valiant: Quantum and Woody Must Die #2 iTunes | RSS feed If you enjoy the show, please make certain to stop by iTunes and leave us a review!...

Episode 203: Spider-Verse Climax

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.
