Episode 066: Kraven’s Chump Hunt

This week, because Vince thought we’d been discussing too much Batman and Spider-Man, he decided we should focus on a Spider-Man storyline. A retro storyline. He’d been wanting to discuss Kraven’s Last Hunt for as long as we’ve been doing the podcast, and saw this as the perfect time. Unfortunately, he was a tad disappointed that I don’t hold it in as high regard as he does.

Episode 065: Help us Carl, you’re our only hope

This week, Vince and I discuss the return of The Walking Dead; essentially the start of season 2.5. We both agree it sucked and that Carl should have shot Shane last season like he was supposed to. In terms of comics, we tackled a couple mini-series, from Edo period Japan to futuristic sci-fi. Enjoy.

Episode 064: Rotten Comic Books

This week, Vince and I tackle a couple other new DC 52 titles; Animal Man and Swamp Thing, which share some story elements. Vince quite likes both, though I simply could not bring myself to care that much for either title. What I did love however, was Avenging Spider-Man #3! Insanely awesome.

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.

Episode 062: Symbology

This week, Vince and I finally take some time out to talk about the new Batman. We agree that the current story-arc in that series is absolutely amazing. We also discuss Batman and Robin, which Vince liked more than I did… which is to say he liked it, and I didn’t. Enjoy.

This week, Vince and I tackle the newly-returned (no one saw this coming) Fantastic Four. We also cover Uncanny X-Force, which is prepping for the upcoming Age of Apocalypse. We also give our thoughts on Richard Castle’s Deadly Storm, which was sadly, not nearly as good as we’d hoped. Enjoy.

Episode 059: Year in Review

Episode 058: Dark Angel Saga

This week, Vince and I finally get to dive into the Dark Angel Saga, now that it’s come to its conclusion. Be forewarned that if you haven’t read issue 18 yet, there are a lot of spoilers revealed… but that’s simply because we couldn’t not talk about it in depth. Enjoy.

Episode 057: Full of Angst

The only thing missing in this episode was a boxer’s bell and the loud booming voice in the microphone yelling, “LET’S GET READY TO RUMMMMMBBBBBBLLLLLEEEE.” Vince and I have not disagreed on a comic so strongly in quite some time. Basically, Vince sees this new Criminal as one of the best of the year, while I wouldn’t even recommend it to anyone. Well, maybe I’d recommend it to folks I don’t like, though that’s hardly a winning endorsement. Enjoy.
