184: Three Penguins in a Snuggie

Posted on by zeroissues

For decades, The Penguin has languished in the B-list of Batman’s rogues’ gallery, with solid name recognition, but without the same impact (or the number of classic stories) as his more popular colleagues in crime. So this week we try to fix that, as we three co-hosts come up with ways to reinvent and reinvigorate ol’ Oswald Cobblepot!

Also: There’s Robert Kirkman-related TV news aplenty! The DCEU thinks random fishy dudes are a safer bet than Superman? And Merk asks Kyle ’n Bry how the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation would fit into all kinds of comic universes!

183: Nothing Like Hot Yogurt

Posted on by zeroissues

Does anybody here like food?

This week, we get reeeal snacky, and talk all about food in comics. Does Superman really need to eat? What is the worst thing that the Ninja Turtles have ever ordered on a pizza? Is Boo Berry a racist, or is calling him racist the actual racist thing? None of these questions are answered.

182: Old Man Gwen Stacy

Posted on by zeroissues

The boys are back this week and full of nerdy energy! So they jump right into a wacky game of CHARACTER STORM, where they suggest names of characters and the others fill in the blanks….and this could be the best one yet, beginning with Scrimp Frampton Crime Kicker!!! (Boom Studios is working on a deal for it right now!). Once they emerge from the storm, they talk characters that never seem to be able to carry their own ongoing series. They may be fantastic characters, integral and long lasting on team books … but solo… loser horn (Nightcrawler, we’re looking at you). Hear why Bry wants a Cyclops series that actually works, how we all want a Luke Cage series to happen and all about Alan Moore’s Erotic Journal Martian. All that plus we out of nowhere chime in on our favourite Mortal Kombat finishing moves. It’s a shorty but a weirdy episode, folks. All aboard!

181: Do the Webs Come From the Claws?

Posted on by zeroissues

Do you ever get tired of the same old powers? Day after day, the same heat vision, the same boring adamantium claws? Well, have comics got the solution for you! That’s right, this week we’re talking about all the times our favourite heroes got ridiculous new powers! Sometimes Wolverine gets HOT CLAWS, sometimes Spider-Man gets stingers out of his wrists, sometimes Superman just blue himself. And each and every time, these new powers were here to stay! (R…right?)

But that’s not all! We’ve got controversies to discuss in the worlds of comics and comic-movie news, Merk breaks down the new status quo for Guardians of the Galaxy, and we just… get pretty silly all around. Enjoy??
