Episode 140 - Faceless Kaiju, Humans Suck, DC Horror

I mean, Thirteen Ghosts, but with Batman Villians. Think about it!

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 29, 2021
  • Mega #1
  • Swamp Thing: Green Hell #1

​The year has come and gone (somehow very slowly and very quickly, all at once), but that doesn't mean we don't have a couple great books to ring in the new year with. We hope 2022 starts with the best possible scenario - lots of time to read!

Episode 139 - Key Issues: Hollywood Hating on Superhero Films

Hollywood over here, sippin' on Haterade... 

​Why do so many in Hollywood find it necessary to diss superhero films? Directors, actors, filmmakers - you name it, celebrities of all calibers have decided it's the "posh" thing to do to hate on a whole subgenre of films that make millions of people around the globe, very, very happy. But why? We talk about the who, what, and why of these haters - and why they're inherently wrong for being so rude about the whole thing. Have an opinion, sure, but be kind, folks!

Some of us are much better at losing together. 

​When was the last time you had a really great time playing a board game, DESPITE losing... a lot? We played this game a bunch of times, lost EVERY time, and STILL are ready to play it again. That's gotta be the best recommendation for a game, right?

Episode 137 - REEL EXTRA: Spider-Man: No Way Home

It's one of the best Marvel experiences we've ever had. 

​It's amazing. There, we said it. They learned from past mistakes, righted wrongs, and gave us all the well-executed fan service we so desperately deserved. Truly, Marvel did right by us this time, and now we (im)patiently wait for whatever the future may hold in the MCU.

Episode 136 - Ancient Agnostics, Not Batman, Secret Agent Surfer Spy

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 15, 2021
  • Odin's Eye #1
  • Cloaked #1
  • Third Wave '99 #1

What's real and what's a fabrication? That's exactly what we're piecing through this week - whether it's the grey area between dream and reality, rumors and the truth, or the fiction of a book and the real-life happenings of our world.

Jumping from the top rope is ATHLETICS, friends. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 8, 2021
  • Daisy #1
  • Crimson Cage #1

​There's nothing better than a modernized retelling of a classic, and this week, we (kinda) have two! From a professional wrestler dealing with his own Lady Macbeth, to what really happened to fallen angels, these books give us something to chew on.

Episode 134 - Powered Gaming: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

A totally tubular romp through the stars. 

It's been a hot minute since we've had a Powered Gaming! While we went in with relatively low expectations (we can only play as Starlord? really?), the resulting game from Eidos-Montreal was incredibly fun (despite the sometimes game-breaking bugs). A great depiction of characters we know and love, this is one we're glad we put on our to-play list.

​What you may have missed in November!

The weather is cooling down, but the comics are still piping hot! We covered a lot, but there were still plenty of other comics this month that you should know about!

Honorable Mention Highlights: November 2021
  • The Darks Knights of Steel #1 (w: Tom Taylor, a: Yasmine Putri)
  • A Thing Called Truth #1 (w: Iolanda Zanfardino, a: Elisa Romboli)
  • Knighted #1 (w: Gregg Hurwitz, a: Mark Texeira)
  • My Date with Monsters #1 (w: Paul Tobin, a: Andy McDonald)
  • Provenance of Secrets #1 (w: Kiyarn Taghan, a: Christian Dibari)
  • Good Boy #1 (w: Garrett Gunn & Christina Blanch, a: Kit Wallis)
  • Turkey Day One Shot (w: David C Hayes, Brian Dunphy, Dan Gorman, a: Dan Gorman)

​The Dark Knights of Steel #1
Remember when you were a kid playing make-believe and you'd merge together very different IPs to the point where suddenly Optimus Prime is driving Mario to the next castle? This is kind of like that. Suddenly you're in a fantasy setting, but still watching the same DC characters you'd expect in a big crossover. I think is most surprising is how well it works - well done, team, I definitely care about the princes after all.

A Thing Called Truth #1
Relatable, fun characters embroiled in a tale of misogyny and betrayal. This book is delightfully developed and honestly is a story unlike a lot of what's out there. It's realistic and grounded while building to an exciting thrust.
​
Knighted #1
What if Batman was a pervy jerk, got accidentally killed by a random loser, and then replaced by said random loser at the behest of "Alfred" (who absolutely hates Batman to begin with)? If that premise isn't enough to delight you, then just know that this book is incredibly clever and wonderfully cheeky. Sure, it's another "what if popular super hero but different" story, but it's got some fun twists and turns.

My Date with Monsters #1
What a fascinating concept for a book. Bad science leads to real nightmares, and the only way to avoid the apocalypse is for a very single mom to fall in love and build a stable family. Has it already built in some pretty predictable plot points? Yeah, but that doesn't take away from my investment in the very likeable characters. I'm excited to see how it all plays out.

Provenance of Secrets #1
Another day, another noir - but this time, our gumshoe is investigating a theater cult (that as a former theater kid, seems completely believable). Boldly black and white, with a swiftly unraveling mystery, this one has set up to be a very interesting read.

Good Boy #1
If you had told me I would one day read a comic book adaptation of John Wick where the dog lives and the person dies but it still turns into a bullet blasting blood bath, I would have told you to seek help. And yet, here we are. This book shines mainly for the novelty of the concept, but does have some fun art and tongue-in-cheek moments within to earn a mention.

Turkey Day One Shot
The perfect story for the holidays! It's got it all! Community. Family. History. Alien-possessed murder turkeys. If you like B-level horror movies, this book will be a fun ride for you. In the mix is also a nice bit of cheeky commentary on the problematic nature of the Thanksgiving story and the treatment of indigenous people in modern society. Oh, and also gore. Lots of gore.

I want all my Greek myths liberated, please. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 1, 2021
  • Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1
  • King of Spies #1
  • Animal Castle #1

​Tee's got a deep, sultry, post-bronchitis tenor going on, but the comic reviews rest for no one this week! This was a big week, especially if you're a fan of turning literature on it's head. Time for some post-turkey reading material!
