Episode 160: Punisher Cross-Overs

Over the years, Vince has made me read some truly terrible comics. He’s thrived on it, in fact. When flipping through whatever crap he’s had me read in a given “bad” week, I always imagine him with steepled fingers, cackling lightly… maniacally. I never retaliated though. Until this week. I decided enough was enough. This week, I was going to make him read some truly terrible comics. Revenge would be mine. Plus, it would make for a funny episode. Little did I realize Vince would not actually read the assigned comics, but rather simply leaf through them and infer the story from the pretty pictures. Bastard. Enjoy the episode.

Episode 158: Nextwave

On this episode of Comic Book Informer, Vince chose an old favorite of his: Nextwave. Warren Ellis has been getting more attention as of late, so Vince chose this series as it is a favorite among comic creators and fans. Our What We’re Reading segment was especially long this week, as we had a lot of excellent comics to discuss. Enjoy. Discussion Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.

Episode 157: Revelations is Awesome!

This week, Vince makes me read more #1s, though in his defence, these were better than last week’s fare… particularly Revelations, which blew me away.

Episode 153: Deadpool vs Invincible

This week, Vince and I discuss Invincible. I don’t know what Vince had planned, but apparently he felt like discussing Deadpool. The fool. This is our last episode of 2013, and I must say, it was a ton of fun. Hope you all enjoy it, have a fantastic new year’s eve, and we’ll see you in 2014.

Episode 145: Serenity

This week, Vince and I don our Browncoats and talk about the Serenity comics which have thus far released from Dark Horse Comics. This includes the two 3-part mini-series as well as the one shots and specials. We have much love for the IP, as will become obvious immediately, however we still have a few critiques regarding these issues. Shiny!

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 140: The Sword

This week, Vince and I cover a listener-submitted series: The Sword from Image. The series ran for 24 issues, almost entirely created by the Luna brothers (Joshua and Jonathan). I got through all 24 issues, while Vince made it through half the series. We don’t spoil everything that happens in the series, however we do give our honest thoughts on the work, which has its ups and downs. We also cover a lot of titles in our What We’re Reading segment. Lots of good stuff. Enjoy.

Episode 137: X-(Wo)men

This week, Vince and I tackle the newest version of the X-Men, which features an all female cast.

Episode 126: Iron Man Extremis

This week’s episode kicks off Vince’s summer movie theme, where each week we’ll discuss a series which coincides with a superhero blockbuster. We kick it off with Iron Man.
