Hope you like bad, bad cockney accents! This week, we’re covering that wonderful former-EU member, the United Kingdom. Almost like we planned it that way! Will we choose the Amulet of Right, or the Sword of Might? Just who the heck is Modesty Blaise? Who plays drums in the comics British Invasion?
All that, plus just why John Cleese shouldn’t write comics, more wacky international characters than you can shake a stick at, and all the news you can fit in a tabloid!

This week…. bad guys gone good. The ‘redeemed villain’. But are they REALLY good, or just evil to the bone? Can they turn it around like a Rogue, or will they go down the road of the Sandman, or play the good guy/bad guy thing like Dr Doom… however they f’n want!?
Also follow along as we riff new soundtrack ideas for comic book movies…. What Iggy Pop song would go on an FF soundtrack? Can Billy Zane serenade himself? Can anything make Catwoman better? Anything? Bry also explodes with excitement (it gets messy) in his ‘READ THIS NOW!’ segment. He be boppin’….. trust me. It’ll make sense.
Oh, and Hot Fridge. That… might not make sense. C’mon in.

This is a giant-sized episode, gang. We’re talking Image (and why we love ’em), we’re talking a very heavy Warm Up dealing with sexual harassment on the creative side of the comic industry, and we’re talking to Todd (and not just about him) about being a dad and a comic-lover. There’s so much to talk about, we had to go over an hour!

Twisted histories! Worlds gone wrong! And The Living Laser, for some reason! This week the boys take a look back at “What If…?”, the alternate-reality Marvel comic, reminisce about some of their favourite issues, speculate as to why it doesn’t seem to “work” anymore, talk about some non-Marvel takes on the concept, and discuss some ways it could be revived today! Also, Bry covers comic, movie and television news, Kyle leads a pitch session for new comic TV shows, and Merk presents a reading from the letters pages of classic Claremont/Cockrum X-Men!

X-Men: Apocalypse was released in theatres last week… and we didn’t see it. So instead we decided to Talk Apoc and discuss other incarnations of that dastardly villain En Sabah Nur. Is it true he began as just a fill-in villain? What’s his link to Marlon Brando? Why does he constantly make robot sounds? Was he a Third Summers Brother? And how does that make ANY sense? Also: join us for the news (including the big Captain America Hydra controversy sweeping the Twitters), a dramatic classic X-Men reading, and further twists in the afterbirth of the birth of Rebirth after DC has just birthed it’s new birthy birth thing. And Baby Apocalypse. Babies all around!!
