    Probably The End

    Well friends, it's been a good run. I always wanted to do a comic book podcast and I did it. I'm proud of the show. I had a lot of fun with it. With some new events on the horizon, I decided it was time to leave the show behind and focus my efforts and concentration towards some different endeavors. Maybe I'll come back to this some day. Maybe not. Thanks so much for listening. It means the world to me. Take care of yourselves. Take care of others. Read some comic...

    100 Bullets: Samurai

    In this episode, we slice off a sliver of the complex interweaving crime comic opus that is 100 Bullets. One of my favorite comics of all time, this collection deviates from the main narrative to tell some stranger tales. We go through prison politics, the dangers of a makeshift backyard zoo, a massive junkie with a murderous streak, and so much more as Risso and Azzarello once again spin a one of a kind sequential art yarn. It's not the clearest cut comic in terms of conveying the bul...

    Ex Machina: The First Hundred Days: Pt. 1 (the breakdown)

    In this episode we enter a comic book version of America and follow the life of newly elected New York mayor Mitchell Hundred as he tries to keep control of the bustling metropolis. The comic jumps through temporal points as the Mayor works his way through getting super powers, takes up the mantel of probably misguided vigilante, meets the various characters the populate his present day, and makes the decision to leave the superhero costume behind for the slick suit of a big city politician.&...

    Wolverine # 34. The Hunter in Darkness

    At the risk of using my platform here to wax nostalgic on my yesteryears, I'm running down one of the very first comics I ever remember reading. In my defense, the shit holds up. This episode we follow Wolverine in a single issue where he traverses the great white outback of Canada and teams up with some Mounties while tracking down a murderer and finding something much, much worse lurking deep within the woods. Here we find vintage Wolverine, trying to figure out his past and ready fo...

    New Avengers: The Trust

    In this episode we get to jump into the mix of an unrelenting series as we attempt to take on some of that good ol' Marvel madness in Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers. The action never ceases as we ride through plane crashes, demonic gangsters, Wolverine getting shot right in the dick, hostel large scale symbiote takeovers, shower scenes, alien invasion induced paranoia, Luke Cage being a cool dude, and more D-list villains than you can shake a stick out. Join me as I try to condense...

    Moonshine: Vol. one Pt. 2 (the interview)

    This episode is a further examination of Moonshine as Malissa Moore helps me unpack the plot, try to understand character motivations, and pinpoint just who the hell is actually a werewolf in this Horror/noir graphic novel. We go on to discuss depictions of historical racism, why some men are just plain stupid when it comes to women, the comic's own problematic imagery, and more as Malissa discusses her first experience reading a comic book. Remember to check out part 1 of...

    Moonshine: Vol. one Pt. 1 (the breakdown)

    This week's episode drags us down into deep southern woods and nightly blackouts as a New York city mobster with a heavy drinking problem makes his way into the Virginia countryside. This here's a prohibition era horror-noir story where mobsters, werewolves, bootleggers, and nightmares collide as our drunken narrator leads us down a debaucherous tale of doom and double crossing. A yarn that keeps you guessing as it unravels itself with anxiety and bloodshed, Moonshine is an original ta...
