S4E8 Darth Vader and Secret Invasion

Aug 01 2024 62 mins  
In which the Force is strong in our heroes, and Charles clearly holds a grudge against Tony Stark. Jav picked Secret Invasion to read and both he and Charles loved the arc and Charles was happy Jav didn’t ask him to read every comic in that event (but Charles probably already has). Charles attempted to out nerd Jav by suggesting the beginning of the first Darth Vader comic run, w

S4E7 Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt and ElephantMen

Jul 18 2024 74 mins  
Two comics enter and two comics were discussed as usual. We don’t have the ability to dispose of a comic and Jav would never want to and Charles would at least feel guilty. Both comics were enjoyed by both hosts and much merriment was had along the way.Spider-Man Kraven’s Last Hunt Written by Marc DeMatteis Art by Mike ZeckElephantMen Written by Richard Starkings Art by Moritat

S4E6 Batman The Court of Owls and John Constantine, Hellblazer: Original Sins

Jul 05 2024 70 mins  
In which our heroes discuss two DC comics Batman: Court of Owls and John Constantine, Hellblazer Vol. 1: Original Sins.

Prepare to break the fourth wall as Jav and Charles talk about John Byrne’s She-Hulk run from the 80s.

Episode 4Buckle up buckaroos it’s long one. Our heroes finally talk about The Dark Night Returns and talk they do. Surprisingly enough they liked it.

S4E3 Fantastic Four: Life Story and Secret Six

May 09 2024 77 mins  
In which Jav and Charles have a deep and intricate discussion of the finer details of the Secret Six and Fantastic Four: Life Story. Just kidding, all they remembered about Secret Six was they liked it a lot and they got hung up arguing about why no mutants appeared in Fantastic Four. Jav complained a lot about their not being mutants to the point where he damned it with his greate

S4E2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin and Sandman Mystery Theatre

Apr 25 2024 70 mins  
In which our heroes argue over how to build suspense. Well Charles argues for that, Jav just spoils things. This episode has some very heavy themes in the comics and the boys discuss them with the same tact and care they do with all their comic choices.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin Written by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and Tom Waltz Art by Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorz

S4E1 Superman: Red Son and House of X/Powers of X

Apr 11 2024 76 mins  
First episode of season four, in which our heroes participate in a predestination paradox both in this podcast twice and in every one of their other podcasts. As in all our podcasts two comic arcs were read one suggested by Jav, House of X/Powers of X and one suggested by Charles, Superman: Red Son. Charles liked one of them if you've listened before you can probably guess which on

Jun 14 2024 50 mins  
In a very special episode Jav and Charles talk comics with a very special guest Mark Reznicek not only is he a huge comics fan he is also the drummer for The Toadies. It was great having the opportunity to talk to someone who clearly knows a lot about comics but also loves them the way Jav and Charles do.

S3E17 Watchmen and House of M

Jan 10 2024 87 mins  
In which Charles compares Watchmen to Gwenpool and it makes sense. In this extremely late final episode of Season 3 Jav and Charles discuss the granddaddy of all graphic novels Watchmen. They both loved it. The second comic they read was House of M and although they spend a lot less time talking about it they both enjoyed it very much. Tune in for Episode 1 of Season 4 when they ta
