The Two-Headed Nerd Comic Book Podcast Joe & Matt

New comic book reviews return to the show with a vengeance and EVEN MORE COMICS! We'd ask if you're ready but YOU ARE NOT READY for our new format featuring 12 NEW COMIC BOOK REVIEWS!  This episode's stack comes from new comic Wednesdays 11/23 and 11/30! Get ready for the JSA's (second, maybe third?) return, G.I. Joe saying farewell to IDW, that time Yoda saved the Murlocks, Doctor Strange getting even trippier, and Kal-El's return (FINALLY)! As always, THN will be using their rating system of "Buy It," "Skim It," or "Leave It," which of course doesn't mean much. It's like giving THREE stars when everyone knows FOUR is the Magic Number.

Matt's Pick for Next Week:





All Against All #1

Image Comics, $3.99

Written by Alex Paknadel

Art by Caspar Wijngaard

Solict: Writer ALEX PAKNADEL (DC vs. Vampires: All Out War, Giga), artist CASPAR WIJNGAARD (HOME SICK PILOTS), and letterer HASSAN OTSMANE-ELHAOU present a primal vision of humanity gone terribly wrong. In All Against All, it is the distant future. Earth is long gone, but a race of alien conquerors knows as 'the Operators' have preserved its most savage animals in an artificial jungle environment they barely understand. With no bodies of their own, the Operators move from world to world, harvesting bodies for the organic exosuits they use to wage their endless wars. Ignored and underestimated by his captors is the habitat's sole human specimen, Helpless. However, when their efforts to find and harvest an apex predator intensify, he gives them far more than they bargained for. Featuring variant covers by artistic powerhouses as SEAN PHILLIPS (RECKLESS), MARTIN SIMMONDS (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH), and CHRISTIAN WARD (BLOOD STAINED TEETH)!

Marvel Comics, $3.99

Written by Tradd Moore

Art by Tradd Moore

Solict: FROM THE MIND OF TRADD MOORE! Doctor Strange awakens alone in a distant world not his own. Lost of purpose and surrounded by danger, the wandering sorcerer must explore this land of blades and mystery to unravel arcane secrets and escape the deadly horrors that lie in wait!

Solict: In this epic post-apocalyptic tale, Maceo and Mezzy have never met anyone like each other, and they'll need all the help they can get to survive a planet ravaged by environmental catastrophe. This epic trilogy-each issue overflowing with 30 story pages-spans a lifetime as philosophical differences tear at the threads holding Maceo and Mezzy together. Will they, and the earth beneath their feet, ultimately be torn apart? New York Times bestselling, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning, and Marvel flagship writer Jason Aaron (Thor, The Avengers, Southern Bastards) launches his most ambitious creator-owned series to date with the first of three unique artistic partners - Eisner-winning artist Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian) - to take on a vision of the end of the world that's brutal and nostalgic, whimsical and grounded... and ultimately, timeless.

The Question of the Week:

This week’s question is courtesy of Joe Reynolds: During the Agent Venom comic Jack O'Lantern was transformed from a boring knock-off Goblin into a truly menacing and dangerous arch-enemy for Agent Venom. Sadly he fell out of use after the Agent Venom run and was killed off. The same run also gave great updates to The Fly and the Crime Master. I really love these small characters have their potential realized. What is your favorite re-invention of a minor or unpopular character?

It's Back Issue Reviews Time!

In this episode, our sentient Cosmic Longbox wants to know all about that sexy shirtless guy with the wings on his ankles from Black Panther Wakanda Forever, Marvel’s first anti-hero, Namor the Sub-Mariner. Namor McKenzie (betcha didn’t know his last name) was created by Bill Everett way back in 1939 and made his first appearance in Marvel Comics #1 from Timely, the predecessor to Marvel. Since then, Subby has gone through more phases than we can count and we’ll take a look at 8 of them starting with his first Silver Age appearance in Marvel Comics. we'll discuss and review eight classic Namor comics using our "Buy It," "Skim It," or "Leave It" rating system which we probably need to put in a bag with a brick and throw it into the ocean but we can't come up with anything better.

Robin empathizes with Mr. Freeze, all Freeze wants to do is save his wife, Nora--but Batman warns Robin not to give his empathy to Victor Fries. He's a man who decided his own fate a long time ago and he deserves none of our warmth. And this winter... he will show his true wickedness and power. The powerhouse creative team of bestselling writer GERRY DUGGAN (X-Men, Deadpool, Arkham Manor) and MATTEO SCALERA (WHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS: HARLEY QUINN, Black Science) brings you Mr. Freeze's most frigid story yet.
