A how-to and how-not-to on writing female characters.
Weekly Pull Highlights: July 10, 2019
What's new, listeners! Well, for us, it's a bunch of number one's across the board, from the one-shot Wolverine's Hair Vs. Blade #1, to the much anticipated (and unsurprisingly controversial) release of Second Coming #1. But hey, if you're not asking yourself "WHO'S LEVIATHAN," are you really even reading comics? (I mean, we hope you are, otherwise, we're really surprised your here!)

Howdy and welcome to the new and improved Cover B (a podcast that is by all definitions still new so calling it new and improved seems a little redundant). Going forward, there is gonna be more content regularly with less content per episode. Episodes will focus essentially on one theme or type of topic instead of three or more. We explain it all in the intro. As for comics this week, we discuss the endings to Batman Damned, War of the Realms and its various tie-ins and Age of X-Man X-Tremists. We also discuss two adorably heart-warming independent titles: Canto and Steel Cage. Thanks for listening! If you like it, you should put a ring on it, Marvel.

This week, DC comes in with a 4-hit combo of awesome stories and leaves Chris broken and abused. Luckily, Tee is there to discuss some other comics while he gets up and ices his bruised readin' eyes. In the news, we got more Tom King, more Deadpool, more Sonic the Hedgehog.... Wow, things tend to repeat, huh? Also info on the Avengers game coming out of Square Enix and we briefly talk E3! Finally, Tee raises a key issue about Marvel and their lack of commitment. Seriously, guys, we just want to know what we are to you. We want a label, we don't just want to be some podcasters you know. This is real, we can feel it! ....wait, that's not what she meant by commitment? Haha, yeah.... I knew that all along..... totally.... Who will be the new writer on Batman?

After EVEN MORE War of the Realms (are you sick of it yet?), it's all kind of Batman talk as we debate the potential awesomeness (or blandness) of the Arkham Knight's origin and the sudden, and marginally incomplete, departure of Tom King from the current Batman run. Mamas haven't had it this hard since Bohemian Rhapsody.

Tee is back in action this week, and makes her comic penance by going over the female dis-empowerment of Female Furies from last week, plus Chris gives some solid jumping in points for late issue comics. As for news, we run you through a whole bunch of trailers both big and small, including the new 'Spider-Man: Far from Home,' AKA, 'Jake Gyllenhaal as everyone's favorite member of the Babysitter's Club'. We wrap up with a Mother's Day special about how not very special the poor mama's in comics are. James Patterson reads some great comics (we assume).
Weekly Pull Highlights: April 10, 2019
This week we discuss tons of comics (probably too many, sorry wallet) and dish out some stellar news about release dates for some sweet-ass comics and shows coming up. We close talking about what comics James Patterson might read if he had a secret comic collection stowed away under his writing desk. No foolin', you guys, comics can be super weird.

Happy 1,000 issues, Batman!... Hope you survive the experience! In the news, we've got DJ Big Driis cast as a mousey jedi, Zack Snyder just out and out loosing his shit, and a bunch of Marvel comics announced at C2E2: Electric Boogaloo. Finally, we close the episode with a very serious discussion about religion in comics and the effects that developing theology has played in regards to art in the modern world. .... Nah, we talk about weird-ass comic book stories. Because of April Fool's Day coming up. It makes sense, get over it. It's not easy being green (except for when it is).

An absolute smorgasbord of new comics, a handy guide to navigating the mire of Age of X-Man, and plentiful news including the fate of Second Coming and a ton of Marvel/Disney updates. Solid episode, overall. And then we go and ruin it by talking about green characters and doing an offensive Irish accent. Well, we're nothing if not predictable. Not all superhero relationships are meant to last.

Movie and TV news abound this episode, as a week of Ho-Hum comics is rescued by a week of casting and cancellation buzz. Then, we discuss the best examples of the worst superhero couples. Which super people should not be tangling capes? Find out here! What's more fun than politics in comics, amiright?

This week we discuss the start of "The Price," new directions for Daredevil, and gush over how beautiful DIE is. In the news, people can barely contain their appreciation for Avengers Endgame, Chris Evans's possible future with Marvel, Alfred Pennyworth is a gritty badass, and Chris derails the whole thing to rant about Star Wars. Finally, we get political and then judge others for getting political. I mean, what says politics more than being a total hypocrite? |
