387: The Chip Zdarsky Interview – Add Beards, Do Cocaine

Chip Zdarsky! We interview Chip Zdarsky! Lookit us! Talking to other people and stuff.

Chip of course is a comic writer/artist of such books as Sex Criminals, Public Domain, Kaptara, Jughead, Howard the Duck, Daredevil and that little title called Batman. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.

We caught Chip on his cross Canada tour as he came through town and was gracious enough to sit down and have a relaxed, fun, hilarious conversation with us. There’s also a video of this interview as well! Listen to it, then watch it! Chip for several senses!

Watch the video version right here!

Newsflash: March 13, 2023

GETCHA HULK CHUNKS! Three newsboys dig into the biggest comic news of exactly this moment! It’s new creative teams and number-ones galore as the allure of that big #1 looms large. Very soon, Wonder Woman and The Flash get big #800 anniversary issues followed by new #1 issues and wild new directions.

Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s 5-year Daredevil epic comes to a close as Chip hits the road across Canada – and maybe to a comic shop near you, if you live in Canada, and we do! The Hulk stops being a… spaceship?… and gets back to his roots as a big green monster man — and just in time for some manner of monster war! In the land of moving pictures, Batman: Caped Crusader lives on with a two-season Amazon Prime deal!

Hey wait, you forgot a number one! Steel (John Henry) and Steel (Natasha) return in Steelworks #1, written by none other than Michael Dorn, the voice of Steel in the ‘90s cartoon, and, y’know, Worf. So hot right now. You don’t see Shaq getting invited, do you? And speaking of not being invited: after getting Typhoid Married, Wilson “Big Willie” “The Kingpin” Fisk has found a loophole granting him a permanent Krakoan Honeymoon! Oh my, just imagine the zany misadventures to come every week at the Blob’s bar.

370: A Dire Warning of the Future

Happy 2023! This week, we sit down (in person, no less!) to talk about what we definitely think is going to happen this year in comics, movies, and even in our own podcast.

But before we look forward to the horrors of 2023, we first come up with some resolutions for ourselves: read more comics and make more comics, mostly! Hey, it’s us, what else did you expect?

338: All the Batmen

Batmen! Batmen! Batmen! Say it three times in a mirror while holding a baby robin and a bat in your pants … and nothing happens. Well maybe rabies. That’s another urban legend.
This however is the legend of the Batman! Or Batmen, rather, as we discuss all the bat-movies and all the bat-people. We ask questions like ‘What do Batman movies keep getting wrong about Batman?’ or ‘Which movie makes Gotham Gothamy enough?’ And we go through a series of hard hitting questions, ranking the Batmen to deem who is on top! Questions of batmobiles, who has the best butt, the best nipples and who would win in a fight (and many more ridiculously insightful tidbits)? So join us to get your Gorshin Portion, a peek at the Gotham waterslide, and figure out what’s your Keaton number?
