290: The Colossus Of Podcasts, the Colossus Of Wayne

It’s “Fix a Character” time! Piotr Rasputin, Colossus of the X-Men, is a beloved classic character that just doesn’t seem work outside of a team. Strong, stoic yet sensitive, but maybe lacking the energy that makes other characters extra (X-tra!?) popular. Join us for three series pitches that explore some very different, but very “us” takes on the X-Man of Steel! Legal intrigue, art rights, and what makes a life! An urban Mutant Town protector! A Savage Land family reunion that leads to Conan-esque adventure! This one’s got it all! DA TOVARISCH! (Someone tell Marvel to listen to this one!)

Also: Plenty of news, from the sad passing of John Paul Leon to Invincible and Red Sonja news, to endless Marvel teasers. We go on a musical adventure called JUKEBOX ZERO! And all of it made possible by our lovely sponsor, RNC COFFEE! Use the promo code zeroissues at rnccoffee.ca!

184: Three Penguins in a Snuggie

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!
