    Epilogue - All good things

    Epilogue - All good things

    Hey everyone! It’s all come to this! Our last episode of Dark Roast Comics Podcast :) This week we spend some time talking and wrapping up conversations on all the ongoing series that we're currently covering on the show. We give our thoughts on all the series so far, and give some predictions on where we think all the series will go in the future. We sincerely hope you enjoy this conversation, and hope that you’ve enjoyed this journey with us as well :)
     
    We want to take this time to really thank everyone for coming on this journey with us. A little over a year ago we wanted to create this passion project of ours and share our love of comics with everyone, and we’re very glad to have had the platform to do so through this podcast. We’re glad to have found an audience that was willing to go on this journey with us week in and week out. Whether you’ve been with us from the start, or just discovered us now, we thank you all the same. You guys are the reason we come together every single week to talk comics, and even though this podcast is ending, it doesn’t mean the end! Perhaps in the future we will revisit doing a podcast again, and if that day does arrive, we hope everyone will be willing to come on the ride with us again! We’ve learned so much from doing this podcast, and if we do come back, we promise to come back stronger than ever!
     
    Thank you all so much for being with us through this whole journey. Thank you for giving us your precious time and allowing us to be a part of your lives.
     
    Thank you.

    Episode 52 - And just like the New 52 - Batman #67, Justice League #20, High Level #2, Venom #12

    Episode 52 - And just like the New 52 - Batman #67, Justice League #20, High Level #2, Venom #12

    Hey fellow Dark Roast Citizens! This week we breakdown and dive deeper into Knightmare with Batman #67, peel back more layers on the mysteries of Justice League #20, get in some high octane action with High Level #2, and experience heartbreak with Venom #12!
    But before we talk comics, we got some news for everyone. This episode will be the penultimate episode for our show, which actually kind of works with as it’s episode 52 :D Next week we will have a reflection and predictions episode and it will be the last episode for our show. We both decided that due to the changes that will be coming our way in the near future, we cannot keep up with the weekly scheduling that our show centres on. We decided now would be the best time to bring upon the end of the show. We hope everyone checks back in next week as well. We will have some crazy spicy theories for all the ongoing series we are covering!
    For our coffee this week we have a brew called Sitio Lavrinha roasted by De Mello Palheta Coffee Roasters. This will be our last week with the guessing game, so let’s see how we close this out!
    What did you think about this episode? What are your thoughts on the Knightmare arc in Batman? Do you think the future Superman spells trouble? What do you think of the potential retcon in Venom? Let us know what you think!

    Episode 51 - Take control of your own life - The Grim Knight #1, Blackbird #6

    Episode 51 - Take control of your own life - The Grim Knight #1, Blackbird #6

    Hey guys! On this week’s episode we tackle the difference between a change in ideal vs a change in execution in The Batman Who Laughs: The Grim Knight #1 and witness the full transformation in Blackbird #6.
    But before we talk comics, we talk a bit about the state of the MCU, and discuss a bit about the veteran casts in the Avengers. We’re not quite sure how some of the veterans will end their MCU run, but we’re definitely putting our theories out there!
    For our coffee this week we have a brew Ardi roasted by Timbertrain Coffee Roasters. I’ll say this about this coffee, there were some surprise flavour notes that we would’ve never guessed. And even after the reveal, we still might not!
    What did you think about this episode? What do you think about the backstory of The Grim Knight? Do you believe the transformation in Blackbird is justified, or does it spell trouble? Let us know what you think!

    Episode 50 - We made it! Milestone episode! Batman #66, Green Lantern #5, Justice League #19, Young Justice #3, Die #4

    You guys! It’s a huge milestone week for us as we finally hit episode 50! Words can’t express how excited, and how grateful we are to have been able to put out content every week and have an audience for it :) So a big thank you to everyone on this journey with us, and allowing us to share our passion with you!
    This week we tackle the return to Knightmare in Batman #66, a recruitment scheme in Green Lantern #5, a mischievous encounter in Justice League #19, the humbling and bumbling team in Young Justice #3, and dive deeper than ever in the dark world of Die #4.
    After our usual Humble Heroes Agency segment, we go into a discussion about our show’s progress over the past year, and we look back at how some of our perspectives have changed while doing the show. We hope you enjoy our discussion. We also want to know how you think we can improve our show, as we are always looking for feedback and how we can put out a better product for our audience. Make sure you hit us up by email or Twitter and let us know!
    For our coffee this week we have a brew called Nemba roasted by Propeller Coffee Company. We always receive amazing coffee from Propeller, and we have no doubt that this week is going to be the same!
    What did you think about this episode? Are you satisfied with Selina’s answer? Where does Hal’s allegiance lie? What do you think will become of Superman? Let us know what you think!

    Episode 49 - Life's like energy, man! The Flash #65, Heroes in Crisis #6, Shazam #3, Captain America #8, Daredevil #2, Oliver #2

    Episode 49 - Life's like energy, man! The Flash #65, Heroes in Crisis #6, Shazam #3, Captain America #8, Daredevil #2, Oliver #2

    Greetings! For this week’s episode, we breakdown and discuss all things The Flash #65, Heroes in Crisis #6, Shazam #3, Captain America #8, Daredevil #2, Oliver #2
    But before we get into comics, we try and catch up a bit on how our week has been. We kind of go on a huge tangent, so you know, the usual. Victor got himself a new phone, and his Dokkan experience has significantly improved. We also talk a whole lot about stand-up comedy. So, we hope you like stand-up comedy :)
    Since the new coffee subscription box hasn’t arrived just yet, this week we decided to go out to the local market and pick up some coffee to try! We decided to give a coffee called Guatemala from Irresistibles a try. This is a ground coffee to start, so we’re getting a pretty strong oil aroma from the start. Let’s see how this one turns out! Also, we said in the episode we said the Irresistibles brand is from President’s Choice. Boy were we wrong! It is in fact from Metro. So yes, mistake corrected, phew!
    What did you think about this episode? What did you think of The Price crossover? Are you any closer to resolving the mystery in Heroes in Crisis? Do you feel sympathetic towards Daredevil? Let us know what you think!

    Episode 48 - Pain. Sacrifice. Is it all worth it? Batman #65, Justice League #18, Guardians of the Galaxy #2, Venom #11, Sharkey Bounty Hunter #1, High Level #1

    Wabam! In this week’s episode, Victor and Jerry discuss all things Batman #65, Justice League #18, Guardians of the Galaxy #2, Venom #11, and two brand new series in Sharkey The Bounty Hunter #1 and High Level #1!
    But before we get into comics, we catch up on the week we’ve been having. We discuss a bit about the Aquaman movie, so if you haven't watched the movie yet, spoilers! It’s pretty minor but if you care about that stuff then check the timestamps below and skip right to the comics segment.
    The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Alfonso Matheus roasted by Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters. Pretty excited about this one as we got some very nice aromas from the beans. We hope the brew comes out just as nice and elegant!
    What did you think about this episode? Are you enjoying the current Batman and Flash crossover? How do you feel about the new team in Guardians of the Galaxy? Do you like the changes made in Venom? Let us know what you think!
