Episode 252: The Black Mirror

This week, Vince and I tackled Snyder’s work on Detective Comics which saw Dick taking over the cowl for a while. The story arc was quite good, and gripping to the very end. As promised, Vince also gave his thoughts on the Deadpool movie, and I tackled Arrow, the TV show, as it pertains to a recent story arc which saw Felicity in a wheel chair. We also covered Chew, Justice League, Kanan and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 245: Kanan

This week, Vince and I tackle one of my favourite Star Wars series, Kanan (no longer The Last Padawan). I have been absolutely loving the second season of Star Wars: Rebels (animated series), and seeing how closely tied it is with Kanan, has made both that much more enjoyable. Also this week, we covered Doctor Strange, Chew, Invincible, Injustice, Pretty Deadly and lots more. Enjoy. p.s. We are on Stitcher!

Episode 237: Grab Bag #Something

This week, we decided just to do a grab bag, talking about whatever in the hell we wanted. Which meant we covered some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Supergirl, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Angela Queen of Hell, Star Wars, What If? and lots more. Enjoy.

Episode 222: What the hell, Layman… haven’t we been through enough?

This week, Vince and I tackle the conclusion to a major story-arc in Chew… and spoiler… it was FANTASTIC. We also discussed a couple new series, only one of which truly got our attention. In our What We’re Reading segment, yet more Secret Wars shenanigans, as well as some Injustice, Tales of Honor and Bats. 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 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 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 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 187: Time’s Running Out

This week, Vince decided to force a bunch of either nonsensical or bad comics on me. With the Avengers’ “Time Runs Out” event shifting gears, he figured it would make a good jumping on point for someone like me who hasn’t been keeping up with it. Turns out, as usual, that he was wrong. And of course, given the opportunity, he tried to get me to read Thor. Interesting discussion in the What We’re Reading segment, as we also covered a lot of the new comic book shows on television. Enjoy listening to the duck that got loose in my recording office when we started discussing Gotham.

Episode 186: Spider-Verse

This week, Vince and I discuss the Spider-Verse event. We’ve already gotten some fantastic issues, and while we didn’t agree on all of them, we do agree that the event as a whole has been absolutely spectacular (no pun intended). We also had some fun comics to discuss in our What We’re Reading segment, including Invincible, Chew, Batman Beyond, Rot & Ruin and more. Enjoy.
