  1. S4E8 Darth Vader and Secret Invasion

    2 AUG

    S4E8 Darth Vader and Secret Invasion

    In which the Force is strong in our heroes, and Charles clearly holds a grudge against Tony Stark. Jav picked Secret Invasion to read and both he and Charles loved the arc and Charles was happy Jav didn’t ask him to read every comic in that event (but Charles probably already has). Charles attempted to out nerd Jav by suggesting the beginning of the first Darth Vader comic run, where he must earn his red lightsaber.

  2. S4E7 Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt and ElephantMen

    19 JUL

    S4E7 Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt and ElephantMen

    Two comics enter and two comics were discussed as usual. We don’t have the ability to dispose of a comic and Jav would never want to and Charles would at least feel guilty. Both comics were enjoyed by both hosts and much merriment was had along the way.

    5 JUL

    S4E6 Batman The Court of Owls and John Constantine, Hellblazer: Original Sins

    In which our heroes discuss two DC comics Batman: Court of Owls and John Constantine, Hellblazer Vol. 1: Original Sins. Both were liked by both Charles and Jav although Jav clearly hated the art in the Batman arc saying the artist was only borderline great.

    21 JUN

    S4E5 Pulp and The Sensational She-Hulk

    Prepare to break the fourth wall as Jav and Charles talk about John Byrne’s She-Hulk run from the 80s.

    S4 Bonus Ep Special Guest Mark Reznicek

    In a very special episode Jav and Charles talk comics with a very special guest Mark Reznicek not only is he a huge comics fan he is also the drummer for The Toadies. It was great having the opportunity to talk to someone who clearly knows a lot about comics but also loves them the way Jav and Charles do.

    9 MAY

    S4E3 Fantastic Four: Life Story and Secret Six

    In which Jav and Charles have a deep and intricate discussion of the finer details of the Secret Six and Fantastic Four: Life Story. Just kidding, all they remembered about Secret Six was they liked it a lot and they got hung up arguing about why no mutants appeared in Fantastic Four. Jav complained a lot about their not being mutants to the point where he damned it with his greatest scorn, “I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would.” Fantastic Four: Life Story Written by Mark Russell Art by Sean Izaakse Secret Six Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale Eaglesham

    26 APR

    S4E2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin and Sandman Mystery Theatre

    In which our heroes argue over how to build suspense. Well Charles argues for that, Jav just spoils things. This episode has some very heavy themes in the comics and the boys discuss them with the same tact and care they do with all their comic choices.
