    House of Comics #47: "When I see you again"

    Welcome to House of Comics #47! We know that we have been pretty abstract with the topics this season. After comic book/wine pairings (see HoC #43) and 5-on-5 X-Men pickup games (see HoC #45), we figured it would be nice to do an episode for newer readers and new listeners of the pod. Since most people are more familiar with film than graphic novels, we decided to go through some classic movie genres and talk about some comic books that would fall into those genres. We get into our personal opinions and philosophies around the genres and why we choice the books that we did. Accessibility was a key factor, but we also made sure to provide you with books that we could recommend to just about anyone looking for the goods in this medium. If you’ve seen every Mission Impossible movie or every A24 film, this is the one for you.

This is what happens when you take a little break that happens to coincide with one of the biggest nerd events of the year and publishers deciding that we needed every book this month. We 100% did a 3.5 hour long pod about E3 announcements and the books we’ve read over the last 2.5 weeks. Why? Because damnit, that’s what we do.

    House of Comics #44: "Redhead erasure"

    Welcome to House of Comics #44! No burying the lead here; we’re tackling the $43B elephant that is the WarnerMedia x Discovery merger that recently took place. We are not businessmen of any merit nor are we traditional economists, but if there is an economy that we do understand, it’s nerd capital. After talking through what we guess is some form of business venture, we get into the real fan and reveal our Discover Channel-inspired shows featuring some of our favorite comic book characters and creators. If Naked & Afraid x Green Lanterns sounds like something you might be interested in, this is the one for you!

    House of Comics #43: "Well damn, Darcey"

    Welcome to House of Comics #43! In an ambitious attempt to match select wines with comic books series that we felt paired well with said wines, we discovered that we may very well be developing the art of the comic book sommelier. From the dynamic aromatics of an indie superhero series to the pungent, full-bodied nature of an intergalactic love story, we somehow made this make sense. We also managed to squeeze in our Bad Batch impressions and talk about 40% of the books we read last week (and yes, the pod is still this long!). If you know the difference between a Merlot and a Malbec, this is the one for you.

    House of Comics #42: "Tom King's Frank Mill·er"

    Welcome to House of Comics #42! In a rare change of pace for us, this episode was borderline educational in nature as we play the name game with some of the more interesting names in the industry. If you’ve seen these names a thousand times and were today-years-old when you heard them, that’s ok, join the club! In all honesty, this was fun and insightful topic of the day, but it was also necessary for us and for comic book fans out there. Also, Tom King’s Rorschach… Don’t forget to follow us on IG: houseofcomicsgo - Twitter: @HouseOfComics – Twitch: twitch.tv/houseofcomics /// Fast and Furious 9 Trailer (2:25) Live-action Cinderella spin-off (4:14) The #SnyderCut’s not Green Lantern (5:36) La Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (8:43) Topic of the Day: Kämik Bo͝ok Krēˈādər Name Guide (14:40) Comic Book Review (29:04 --> Rorschach #7, Wonder Woman #771, Joker #2, Karmen #2, Batman: The Detective #1, Undone by Blood S2 #2, Grendel #5, GOTG #13 Out This Week (2:35:12)

    House of Comics #41: "Crime and penetration"

    House of Comics #40: "Hemispheres"

    Welcome to House of Comics #40! The big 4-0! It’s just milestone after milestone over at the HoC and what better way to celebrate than to reprise/remix/rehash one of our favorite ideas. We previously did a music-themed episode, but this time around we got a bit more abstract and made it a lot more interactive for you all. First, we played a kind of, “who’s who” style game that allowed us to frame people, organizations, and ideas in both industries in away that allowed us to dive into similarities and draw some connections. AND THEN we talk about some of our favorite album covers and some of our favorite comic book artists that we would like to see put their creative spin on those albums. Sound like a lot? Good, because it was! We highly recommend looking up the albums and the artists as we talk about them and let us know if you see what we see.
