Star / The Clock
Our pal Shan comes for a visit, helping us talk through a sciencey-thriller on Top Cow called The Clock, which takes on world problems both hypothetical and real. But not before we discuss Star #1 from Marvel Comics. A mini-series that stars the breakout character Star, (the titular Star, from the title "Star"...) from Kelley Thompsons current run of Captain Marvel.
And as always, nerdy news, and dorky tangents. -
Thor / I Can Sell You a Body
We start the year off by getting way deeper into a conversation about Drake then we ever expected, but eventually find our way to discussing the much anticipated Thor #1 on Marvel Comics, penned by Donny Cates, and follow with lighter fare in Ryan Ferrier's new comic about a TV psychic thats hard up for cash, in I Can Sell You a Body #1.

Very Dope Podcast
This is one of the best comic book podcasts. The hosts have great chemistry. They're genuinley funny and play off of eachother really well.
I love hearing their takes on comics and that they describe to you exactly what happened in the book. Most comic podcasts are pretty vague about the actual contents of the books they read.
Sometimes I'll read a comic and be like, "What the f did I just read?" and think I'm an idiot cause I don't understand something. Then I'll hear them say they were confused by the same thing and feel little less dumb, which is appreciated.
I also really dig when they go off topic and have discussions about other things. For example in the last episode they talked about Marvel Comics #1 selling for a million dollars which segued into Michael talking about discovering his uncle's comic book gold mine.
Each episode flies by. At times I wish they was longer and covered more topics. I understand they wanna keep it simple which has been working for them. It's streamlined and consistently good. Nothing wrong with that.
I just think it'd be dope if maybe once a month they did an extra long episode where they discuss comic news and other comics they've been reading. I find myself agreeing with them often and I'm curious as to what other comics they're currently following and what their favorite series and storyarcs from the past are.
So so good!
Easily my favorite podcast. I look forward to it every week. Very funny, informative, and entertaining!
Love the comical banter
I honestly have never purchased a first issue comic but should start! The four of them are hilarious and their laugh is contagious! You won’t be disappointed in learning more about the comic world.
