Another week of our summer book club and this week we are talking about Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic's Thor masterpiece, The God Butcher / Godbomb. I love this story so much.

Here is the new Wordburglar video!

Sean will be joining us next week to celebrate our 150th episode! We will be talking about John Byrne's West Coast Avengers story, Vision Quest, and watching the Ghost Rider movie.

See you then!

Podcast - Episode 148: Saga of the Super Sons

Oh man. I hope you guys are ready for some RIDICULOUS NONSENSE.

If it were up to me, every episode of the podcast would be about Bob Haney's wonderful 1970s creation, the Super Sons.

I have written about the Super Sons a couple of times on this blog. Here are some links, if you would like to see some panels:

Crazy in Love: the Saga of the Super Sons (Jan 2007)

Gigantic Fun with the Super Sons (Aug 2007)

Oh, Super Sons.

And here is that panel of Superman Jr. carrying Batman Jr. like a platter:

I mean, what the hell, Batman Jr? You can't swim?

I'll bet the sex they have is NUTS.

Alright, see you next week for THOR!!!!

We're back! Are you ready for another installment of the Living Between Wednesdays summer book club?

We read the first Hellboy omnibus, which is basically perfect in every way.

We also talk about all the news from SDCC (well, some of the news, anyway), and about James Gunn, which is a whole confusing thing.

Next week we are talking about my beloved Super Sons! HANEY 4 LIFE!!!!!

We saw Ant-Man and The Wasp! Don't listen to this episode if you don't want to be SPOILED!

And, of course, you want to see the Punisher balloon that local comic fan/magician Mr J made for Garth Ennis:

Balloon Punisher War Journal, entry 4573: "A bullet grazed me today but I don't think it fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft."

See you in two weeks for Hellboy Omnibus vol. 1! I'm going on vacation!!!!

Week two of the summer book club! In anticipation of Garth Ennis's appearance at Strange Adventures on July 7, we read the 2000 Ennis and Steve Dillon series, The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank.

Compared to what's happening in the world these days, it's a light, summer read.

Next week we will be taking a break from the book club to talk about Ant-Man and The Wasp! See you then!

Podcast - Episode 144: Agents of Atlas

The 2018 Living Between Wednesdays Summer Book Club has begun!

We're kicking things off with a really fun Marvel mini-series from 2006 by Jeff Parker and Leonard Kirk: Agents of Atlas. The fact that this series was shaped out of a long-forgotten "What If...?" issue is pretty impressive.

Next week we will be reading The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon in preparation for Garth Ennis's visit to Strange Adventures in Halifax on July 7!
