Episode 79.1 - REEL EXTRA: New Mutants

Maisie Williams NAILED this role! 

​We've been dangled this mutant-based horror movie for what seems like FOREVER, but it's finally here, and we braved the scary outside world to go see it! Luckily, it was definitely worth the effort - and we explain why you shouldn't always listen to the critics when it comes to fan-focused flicks.

It's a weird, weird world and we just live in it. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: March 25, 2020
  • No One's Rose #1
  • Grumble: Memphis and Beyond the Infinite #1
  • Killing Red Sonja #5
  • Hellions #1

​This is gonna be the last of our traditional episodes for a while, because Diamond has had to cancel comic distribution thanks to COVID-19. We'll still have new episodes coming every Sunday, but expect more of our bonus formats like REEL EXTRA and Powered Gaming. It's a crazy time to be alive, but we're going to keep on trucking as best we can. Stay safe, everyone!

Boba's back, baby! 

Honorable Mention Highlights: March 11, 2020​
  • Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #1 (W: Ethan Sacks; A: Paolo Villanelli)
  • Marvel's Snapshots: Sub-Mariner #1 (W: Alan Brennert, Kurt Busiek; A: Jerry Ordway)
  • Cable #1 (W: Gerry Duggan; A: Phil Noto)

Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #1
It's nice to see some solid, in-canon storytelling involving dat boi Boba Fett. This book feels like a Star Wars Tarantino flick and I'm all in.

Marvel's Snapshots: Sub-Mariner #1

Part of what made this really cool was the fact that it takes place right after WWII, and definitely stays true to that time period with the look, feel, and behavior of everyone featured. BUT it addresses very modern topics., like PTSD, relationships, trauma, the female experience - all in an old-fashioned style book. Such a cool dichotomy and one I'd love to see brought into more than a one-shot.

Cable #1
Honestly, the best parts of this story are the ideas opened up around Cable and less Cable himself. Honestly, young Cable is a bit bland for me. He's a bit too much like literally EVERY other young male hits-on-chicks-and-takes-nothing-seriously character marvel cranks out to appeal to, idk, that crowd I guess. There is some interesting stuff in this book and YOUNG Cable is by far the least of it.

Weekly Pull Highlights: March 11, 2020
  • Decorum #1
  • North Bend #1
  • Sweet Heart #1
  • Jim Henson's Storytellers: Ghosts #1

​It's all about really cool new indie titles this week! From Jonathan Hickman doing his thing in Decorum, or a super creepy new set from Jim Henson's Storytellers, we address all the important questions out there, like how profitable is it to sell a comic license, or why Harry Potter didn't just use a fire arm. You know, the important stuff.

I am slowly learning to expect the unexpected. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: February 26, 2020
  • Force Works 2020 #1
  • Giant Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost
  • Conspiracy Area 51 #1
  • Finger Guns #1

Well, this week wasn't the MOST exciting week in comics, but it was full of the unexpected! From a really unenthusiastic Marvel team-up, to the dialogue-free Giant Size X-Men, to a couple of kids living life with powers, there's always stuff to talk about... mostly.

  • Adler #1
  • Backtrack #1
  • After Realm Quarterly #1
  • Man Who Effed Up Time #1

This week was all about characters showing their (not-so-nice) true colors, from the devilish deal-maker in Backtrack, to the chaotic-evil Loki from After Realm, to Reed Richards being a total butthead (color me unsurprised). But hey, at least it's the weekend, right? ​

Weekly Pull Highlights: January 1, 2020
  • Star Wars #1
  • Hawkeye: Freefall #1
