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 197: Akira

Episode 197: Akira

This week, Vince decided it would be a good time to slip back in time and cover a fantastic manga from the late ’80s: Akira. While many have seen the anime, not everyone’s taken the time to enjoy the manga; Vince and I were both guilty of this. Also discussed this week, a healthy dose of Valiant comics thanks to a recent Humble Bundle sale, Axis, Bitch Planet, Hawkguy, Superior Iron Man, Wayward and more. Enjoy.

Episode 196: 2014

Episode 196: 2014

Every week, on Tuesdays, a little after five o’clock, something great happens… Vince and I sit down and talk about comic books. And despite the fact that we don’t record live, as we have in the past, we include our listeners in the conversation. We don’t feel as though we’re sitting at a pub, a couple drinks in front of us, just shooting the breeze about Spider-Man and his ridiculous antics. No. We feel our listeners present in the moment, either laughing or disagreeing with us, sometimes loudly. That’s what makes this medium so wonderful. For a couple comic book nerds to sit around and get that feeling every week… well, it makes what we do that much more incredible. So thank you all. Whether you’ve agreed with our reviews or not, 2014 has been a superior year for comic discussions (see what I did there?) and we’re very happy you listened. Here’s to 2015, great comics, bad comics, and good friends.

Episode 195: Welcome to Lovecraft

Episode 195: Welcome to Lovecraft

This week, I decided we should focus on some older comics again. We haven’t had a retro episode for a while. Granted, we didn’t go that far back… just to 2008 for the start of Locke and Key. We also started the show off with some movie chatter (TMNT and Captain America 2), as well as some love for DC’s announcement of movie poster inspired covers coming our way in March of ’15. Also, tons of comics in our What We’re Reading segment. Seriously. Tons. Enjoy.

Episode 194: Gotham, Arkham and Secret Six

Episode 194: Gotham, Arkham and Secret Six

This week, Vince decided on a few new DC titles. There are a couple new series to add to the ever-growing Bat family; one which we quite liked, and another which we’re keeping our eyes on. And then there’s Secret Six, a series we’d like to enjoy, but which we both felt was lacking. As for what we’re reading, we have some great comics to talk about, from Superior Foes of Spider-Man to Autumnlands, with a little X-Men in there as well. Enjoy.

Episode 193: Looking For Trouble

We were late recording this week, thanks to Vince’s crazy work schedule and my flu. That said, we did want to still get this episode out as we had so many great titles to discuss. We’ve got some movie and TV news, some Guardians of the Galaxy solo titles, Spider-Verse, Death of Wolvie, some more Wayward love and lots more. 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 191: Spiders and Magic Critters

Episode 191: Spiders and Magic Critters

This week, we’ve got spiders and magic critters; and we loved all of them. The spiders come courtesy of Spider-Verse, which has finally started. The lead-up has been spectacular (pun intended), so what did we think of the launch? The answer to that’s probably obvious. We also tackled the first issue of Tooth & Claw, a brilliantly written and illustrated new series from Image. Plus lots more in our What We’re Reading segment. 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 183: Moon Knight

Episode 183: Moon Knight

This week, Vince decided we should tackle the first six issues of the newest Moon Knight reboot, written by Warren Ellis. We had very differing ideas about the issues, however did agree on the calibre of the writing and art as a whole. In What We’re Reading, we covered a variety of comics, including the 13 issue mini-series, Mass Effect: Foundation, and what it may mean for the next game.
