Podcast - Episode 158: Takin' a Break

I think it’s pretty obvious that I haven’t been giving this podcast the time that it deserves. I am just stretched very thin right now and I need to focus on some other things. And Dave has some creative projects of his own to work on. The comic book industry and fandom has been getting me down lately, so I need to take some time to remind myself why I love comics.

But we will be back! And when we come back, it will be with better episodes!

Thank you, as always, for listening. We really do appreciate it.

In the meantime, check out Grandway Comics! You can see all the trailers there for Derek Jessome and Jeff Knott’s amazing original comics.

Podcast: Episode 157 - Annuals

We said we’d talk about annuals so we’re talking about annuals.

But we also talk about other important things, like this baffling Henry Cavill Instagram post:

So beautiful but so weird.

Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Podcast - Episode 156: Bruce and Dick

We saw Batman’s penis!!!!

This past week the first issue of Batman: Damned came out and DAAAAAAAMN. There is some full frontal Batman. It is not disappointing.

Some other stuff happens in this comic too. He kills the Joker maybe? Who cares because BAT DONG!

I mean, you can see veins. Well done, Lee Bermejo. You did it.

See you next week when we talk about something WAY less interesting.

Podcast - Episode 155: Superman and Batman movies

Since there were a couple of news items this past week relating to Superman and Batman movies, we decided to look back at all previous Superman and Batman movies.

I have to make a correction, too. Probably several, but the one I can remember is that I said that the Starfire character on Titans is a prostitute but I don’t think she actually is. I had just heard that, but I can’t find verification anywhere. I can’t find anything that says otherwise, either, but let’s assume that she is not actually a prostitute. Not that there is anything wrong with being a sex worker of any kind, but comic book-based entertainment has a long history of not depicting sex workers in the most…sensitive and respectful light. Anyway, the show still looks very bad.

Here is Michael Kupperman’s Dick Crazy comic, for your enjoyment:

See you next week!

We wrapped up the summer book club this week with The Infinity Gauntlet.

I still have a headache from it.

Here is that tweet I promised I would find the author of and credit. It was Rusty Shackles, in reply to Jeff Parker:

Alright, thanks for reading along, or at least listening along. Send us ideas for books we should discuss, or topic ideas!
