Some issues we cover in this episode: Storm #5 Those Not Afraid #2 Parliament of R...

There's something about comic books when the artist and the writer are one. Theres more jobs to do and thats always an ambitious undertaking... We have said it and will say it again. AND in comic patrol fashion were back to beat a dead horse into glue Janey Belle returns and goes west, as she makes her way to the wild dessert oasis that is Las Vegas. If the first volume was a sinker,  and volume t...

It's no secret that comic patrol was built on comics. But there is a large part of our childhood that was raised on the silver screen, with the cartoons we watched and salivated over. Even more are those cartoon images that we saw looong before we understood the content and subject matter it portrayed.  God bless those channels: Showcase and Teletoon as active tools in that  coming of age! It was...

Could be all so simple, a basic premise and loveable characters thrown into weekly adventures? From wild minds writers Tim Seeley & Sarah Beattie with art from Kurt Michael   In the soon future of 2032, a scientist enlists her four brillaint co-workers to help securing funding for more research. The  XXX-plorers would take to the starts on a new venture. SEX, with each other, with aliens, disc...

Well well Numeatz, we are back with a book that couldn't help but make Coke AND Dank relive their childhood favourite moments AGAIN! Except this may be the father to all of those amazing woodland critter stories. Bats, owls, pigeons, rats are all included in this story by Canadian writer Kenneth Oppel and artist Christopher Steininger are the collaborators of Silverwing Great adventure storytellin...

There's something about comic books when the artist and the writer are one. Theres more jobs to do and thats always an ambious undertaking. Welp were back to review the next arc in this one man's passion project, were back to see if the misadventures of Janey Belle get better.. or fall down on her dead-undead face.  If the first volume was a sinker, than this is the floating head that came back to...

As the makers of Comic Patrol we really only have a couple of rules. Read what you're going to talk about Don't pull any punches when you talk about it. Both Coke and Dank take  We3 under the microscope of what we love and loath about the story and artwork from famed writer Grant Morrison and stellar artist Frank Quitely . The premise is simple: "three house pets weaponized for lethal combat by th...

Our Official 100th episode , and the only way to make noise was in the Detective Comics's newest Universe. Absolutely! DC has (kinda) recently launched it's new Absolute Universe , and we are here to help you catch up with it. It isn't the new continuity per-se, but it is a new look at many of their heroes, spinning out of the latest event, starting with, of course, the Holy Trinity. We work with...

I think this one hit Dank different than Coke, I think this one Coke saw something deeper than Dank. Thus it's hard to fault a comic that got both of us to really take a step back and do more research with what we read.  These are stories you want, as comic book fans. you want stories that shake you, teach you and have you asking more questions than you had before you went in.  This one hits us, a...

It took until the end of the year, but we watched, and we binged and we called it one of best Marvel/Disneys best shows the-new-MCU had to offer! It's fair to say that the MCUTV list has been a lot of hit and miss. Often not knowing how to match their comic counterpart to a digestable and watchable screen series. But we don't think we've had a better pairing than Agatha and her Witches coven. Ther...

IT'S JANUARY  Issue #5 of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we're keeping up with it until it ends or we do. We are going to check-in with which issues we read from last month and then look ahead for what's coming up in the solicitations for January, and pick out the ones that look most interesting to us. --Hit us up at  comicpatrolpod@gmail.com if you want to add a fun...

There's something about comic books with titles that tell you everything you need to know. Zombie Tramp is one of those: the main character is both a zombie and a tramp, and that's all there is to it. Started up as a one man passion project, this is the beginnings of Janey Belle's long run in comics, and it's all about how she came to be a curvaceous, man-eating, undead.. thing. Making house calls...

The premise is simple: people who have sex, freeze time and decide to do criminal-y things. That was Vol. 1. This Arc Analysis episode brings back the orgasming pair for a "Two Worlds, One Cop" (great title) follow up, but is it an improvement on all we've read in the previous instalment? Chip Zdarsky and Matt Fraction return to give this love struck, time bending and orgasmic pair another change...

IT'S DECEMBER   Issue 4 of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we're keeping up with it until it ends or we do.

"Original" doesn't begin to paint the fun loving genius that is Mullet Cop . We at Comic Patrol are always a fan of any Writer/Artist that takes up the two impossible jobs all by their lonesome, because its hard. Respect. Scout Comics and Tom Lintern help bring us Mullet Cop "After a near-death experience, FRED, a mall cop goes undercover as a manager at an all-you-can-eat buffet. With the help of...

It not often we get a chance to read comics from the starting position and move from ground up, but we lucked out with DSTLRY .  Established by David Steinberger and Chip Mosher , in the olden days of May 2023... I know right? Ages ago. But it's that new look and early inception that has given artist and writers a fresh perspective, setting themselves up as the house that writers built "focus on e...

Whatta debut for this 3 issue book "Colossus!" doesn't sum up the adventure this little water-cooler-globe-head-warrior takes on when unsuspecting fishermen catch him on there boat. He is ROBOT 13 , with little to know understanding of where is he from, who he is and where he is going, it doesn't take long for him to see purpose. FIGHT, ROBOT, FIGHT! Writer Thomas Hall and art Daniel Bradford pain...

SPOILERS FROM THE JUMP Welp we did it, we made it, the Patrol arrived on time to celebrate mfn Halloween! And we did it in Coke n Dank fashion, with an all-time, rated-R, cult classic,  Halloween anthology, pulp fiction, comic book movie. Writer/director - Michael Dougher gives us 2007's - Trick 'R Treat , and there's a lot to see in this fictional town of Warren Valley, Ohio on the night of Octob...

Issue 3 of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we're keeping up with it until it ends or we do. This round Leo is up as the adventure moves from Ralph and Mikey in Tokyo to the Ganges River of  India or Nepal or China or Bangladesh. its probably India.  Since we spend so many minutes not talking about TMNT T-U-R-T-L-E Power - Time Stamps included: 13:06 - The 2nd show star...

Welp, what can one say about 1950's comics. They're outta date, they're filled with propaganda, they lack diverse voice or faces, they don't age well, a lot of "men" are pulling the strings(story, art, concept, names).  This is especially true for 1954's True Love Confession #1, but gawd damn are they hilarious to live read.  This is the first time (probably not the last) Coke and Dank called an a...

Its been a while since we read up on our favourite half brothers Eric and Woody, as they learned the reason their father wanted them to stay together (think power gauntlets). What was supposed to be the perfect pairing of Offence and Defence, humour and sternness, is the yin and yang that brings you, Quantum & Woody. Vol. 2 returns us to the pair as they deal with the fallout from their previo...

Across the Pages (AxP) is our series where we take two similar-ish characters/teams/properties from different creators or publishers and give their various forms of media a well-deserved spotlight. Both of these characters uphold the law in a satirical and exaggerated world, both in their own ways. One is a cyborg who was forced into his situation and trying to reconnect with his humanity, the oth...

Issue two of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we're keeping up with it until it ends or we do. This one is all about Mikey's new celebrity status in Japan and how he is handling life after the disbanding of his brothers, one of who MIGHT show up in this issue.  In the second half of this episode, we are going to check-in with which issues we read from last month and the...
