Episode 141: Reign

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 134: The Enemy Within

Episode 134: The Enemy Within

This week, Vince and I tackle The Enemy Within story-arc which ran through several series, and saw Captain Marvel going up against a power foe from her past. Vince and I are both massive Captain Marvel fans, not to mention huge Kelly Sue DeConnick fans, so this was a great treat for us. We also discussed Age of Ultron and it’s fallout in What We’re Reading… as well as a few Hickman series. Ah Hickman… you sick, demented bastard. We love ya. Enjoy. P.S. Please forgive our light jabs at our buddy Joe at the beginning of the episode. Joe co-hosts with us on our various gaming podcasts… though he has occasionally made promises which have never seen the light of day.

Episode 133: It’s always bite me play time

This week, Vince and I tackle a bunch of new creator-owned #1s. While it was still hit or miss, it’s always nice to get more creator-owned work. For this episode, we tackle The Wake, Lazarus, Ghosted and Sheltered. We also tackled a lot of various titles in our What We’re Reading segment, making up for lost time last episode. Enjoy. Oh, and I apologize for the quality (or lack therein) of my track. I’d moved my mixer over the weekend, and apparently I’d accidentally caught one of the knobs with a cable, as it was turned nearly off, removing most of the higher frequency. /shrug… never claimed to be a genius Discussion The Wake #1 Lazarus #1 Ghosted #1 Sheltered #1 What We’re Reading Vince: X-Factor, Wolverine, Superman/Batman, Injustice Roger: Ultimate Comics Spiderman, Superior Spiderman, Savage Wolverine, Wolverine; Japan’s Most Wanted, Batman Beyond (a bit) New Releases Marvel: Captain Marvel #14 FF #10 Guardians of the Galaxy #5 Indestructible Hulk #11 Ultimates #28 Uncanny X-Force #9 Uncanny X-Men #9 Venom #38 What If?

Episode 129: Days of Future Here and There

Episode 129: Days of Future Here and There

Vince stretches the summer super-hero movie theme to include movies from next year in this episode; yes, he’s that desperate to maintain a theme for the month. So for this episode, we tackle the next X-Men movie due out next year. For that, we have to head back to the early ’80s, for Days of Future Past. Vince also discusses Days of Future Present as a tie-in. I didn’t have time to read it. So many words… Enjoy.

Episode 127: Phenomenamal Work

Episode 127: Phenomenamal Work

Continuing with our summer movie tie-ins month, this week we tackle the man of steel, ol’ Superman himself. The new movie’s script was practically taken off of the pages of Superman: Birthright, written in 2003 by Mark Waid. Vince and I both loved it, though did have a few things to point out that we weren’t trilled with. 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 120: Turtles Noir

Episode 120: Turtles Noir

This week’s episode is a few days late, and for that I apologize, however there really wasn’t much I could do about that. I had to take some sick time thanks to the ol’ knees. Anyway, as for this episode… Vince and I tackled a couple different mini-series; Spider-Man Noir and the Secret of the Foot Clan. I enjoyed Spider-Man Noir more than Vince, however we both agreed wholeheartedly on the Foot Clan. Enjoy.

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.

Episode 112: STILL MY Podcast

Vince and I really loved the Death of the Family story-arc that just wrapped up in the Batman titles. Snyder has proven that he’s got the chops to handle intricate mysteries and bat-shit crazy thrillers. Also this week, lots of X-Men, Avengers and even some Ghostbusters.

Episode 096: Marvel NOW!

This week, Vince and I tackle everything post-AvX, including the just released Uncanny Avengers #1, which we had mixed feelings about. We also go through all of the upcoming Marvel NOW! comics. Some have us fairly excited. Others made us groan. Check it out. This hefty episode clocks in at 51:25, and I am not to blame for that. Just saying.
