This Week.
Alex Ross teases, Dan Didio Spoils, Puckett and Johnson take over Supergirl. Somehow a Cap argument ensues.

Our review of the critically acclaimed Fun Home.
I’ve spent the morning dealing with, the post office, my landlord, and the housing commission so I don’t really have any smart quips for you all, they’ve stolen a bit of my soul.
So, here you go…
The file is back up…

This week on the podcast: Wizard World news, and some discussions.
Pedro asks - “Are there really 3 versions of Nightshade that people care about?”
Joe asks - “Why would you want to go to Disneyland if you’re Reed Richards?”
Chris asks “How many Batman is a Vampire and everyone is dead stories can you do?”
Jamaal asks “Do […]

What we’ve been reading,
Manstream! DCMinx vs. Lea Hernandez.
Tony Stark in the Iron Man Movie! Not the fascist with a mustache, the one that was in Wu-Tang.
Also, Is the Ultimate Universe going boom? Well, you won’t find out definitively on this podcast but we will talk about it!

Much like the SDCC mentioned comics at some point during their convention…
This is our attempt at an SDCC podcast, and we do cover some of it and our reactions to it, but we also get caught up into our usual discussions.
We talk about the new indie stuff (Jeff Smith and Paul Pope got us excited), […]

In this week’s double review, we check out two more First Second titles, and I gotta say (without spoiling too much of the review) I really like self-contained graphic novels that are so well produced, the quality of publishing here is top notch.

This week! -
Chris and Pedro explain a bit more about Countdown to me, and speculate on what we’re actually counting down to, as sort of a companion piece to the DownCounting thing.
We explore the newly annouced company Radical Comics, which promises to be just as radical as the 80’s were. They don’t do comics about […]

This week’s run down:
Youngblood! - Joe asks: “Why does Liefeld still sell?”
Starlin Killin’ New Gods? - Jamaal shows offense at the lack of Kirby Respect.

Also, we note that Galactus’ Heralds get a fat severance package when they get fired.
Edit: We had a […]

Jamaal Starts it off with a discussion and a layman’s explanation of the Leegin anti-trust case, and sounds all dignified and shit. Then, he reveals his true colors when he explains the complete origin and explanation on who the Sinestro corps are and and we delve into a huge conversation on what the fuck has […]

Chris, Jamaal, Pedro and I go through what we liked and picked up at the MoCCA show.

JOE NOTES: Editing this show, it seems that Warren Ellis read Casanova and thought, “Hmm… I’m going to take all the good ideas in this and do them justice in Desolation Jones“. I didn’t realize how much this was true until after the show…
Slight warning. There’s lots me ranting. Lots. So, you might want to […]

This is the MoCCA after party. I bear no responsibility for what was said.

On our thirteen podcast, Joe, Chris and Jamaal discuss the rage over Heroes for Hire #13’s cover. Spooky!
JOE NOTE, mk1: After the recording of this podcast we found out that the Joe Quesada denied everything. The denial is understandable, but for fuck’s sake Joe: I love you man, but that cover is tentacle porn.
JOE NOTE, […]

This week features a new lineup, lots of news, and Countdown, a comic that forces the reader to ponder how much cocaine costs in the Mirror Universe. Enjoy.
