Pull Party: A Comic Book Podcast

Marvel Goosebumps. Doctor Doom Lex. Vampire mutants. A werewolf Ghost Rider. And somehow, we're still not done being DC shills. Episode 48 has a ridiculous stack of comic book reviews, questionable opinions, and the usual Pull Party nonsense. We get into Battle Beast, Midnight X-Men, and Midnight Fantastic Four, including the question of whether Marvel's Midnight line is basically Goosebum...

Legendary comic book artist and writer Andy Parks joins Pull Party Presents to talk Green Arrow, Kevin Smith, the art of inking, and why comic books are so much more than superheroes punching each other in the face. Andy looks back on the Green Arrow run with Phil Hester that helped change their careers, including how Kevin Smith helped bring the team together at DC. We get into the age-old questi...

# MIDNIGHT SPIDER-MAN DRAMA, COMIC BOOK TROLLS & ABSOLUTE GREEN ARROW! 🎃 The comic book comment section is fighting for its damn life, and we brought receipts. Welcome back to Pull Party: A Comic Book Podcast, where we read the comics, have opinions, and apparently need to defend the concept of having opinions to strangers on the internet. Paul is still not sold on Midnight Spider-Man, and th...

Paul said Midnight Spider-Man was garbage. The comic book internet got mad. Now Robert and Paul have a whole lot to say about it. On Episode 46 of Pull Party, we're addressing the backlash to Paul's brutally honest review of Marvel's Midnight Spider-Man. Is it rage bait if you genuinely think a comic book is bad? Why do fans defend their favorite creators like they're family members? And why is ha...

The Green Lantern fandom is fighting in the comments, Marvel keeps testing our patience, and Mattel just showed up ready to throw hands with McFarlane. Welcome to Pull Party #45, where the comic book takes are questionable, the language is worse, and nobody is leaving without an argument. Robert and Paul are back for another gloriously unhinged comic book podcast, and this time there's a LOT t...

Welcome back to Pull Party: A Comic Book Podcast — where the comics are questionable, the opinions are worse, and apparently we still have to settle the R2-D2 speech bubble debate. This week, Robert and Paul talk about everything from Supergirl and Lanterns to Star Wars, comic collecting, convention experiences, and the absolute insanity of modern comic book variants. Paul breaks down his recent T...

B. Clay Moore joins Pull Party for a ridiculously long conversation about comics, creator ownership, Hollywood, Image Comics, Ignition Press, and pretty much everything else his brain can connect together. Clay has been writing comics professionally since the early 2000s, with credits including Hawaiian Dick , The Leading Man , Billy Smoke , Bloodland , and Dispatched . We talk about how Hawaiian...

We have a problem. There is a mysterious purple car hiding in Last Driver #2, and we have absolutely no fucking idea what it is. That's where we're ending this week's Pull Party, but naturally we had to spend the previous two hours talking about basically everything else in comics first. We talk Lanterns, Hal Jordan's dad, the Jordan family curse, Gambit, the latest Absolute books, Absolute Batman...

Batman Day has come and gone, and Paul is celebrating the only way he knows how: spending a stupid amount of money on comics, rocking a foil Batman mask, and getting happy with blind bags. Welcome back to Pull Party: A Comic Book Podcast! Robert and Paul are back for episode 42, and things get gloriously unhinged. We're talking Batman Day pickups, ridiculous comic book deals, and DNX blind bags. P...

Paul and Robert are back for Pull Party Episode 41, and apparently Batman's cape has become a matter of SCIENCE. We kick things off with a heated argument over Kevlar, John Wick's ridiculous bulletproof suit, Batman's cape, and whether comic book physics deserves to be taken seriously. Spoiler: it absolutely does when Robert has a book about the science behind Batman sitting on his shelf. Then we...

Episode 40, bitch. And somehow Paul actually got a Lanterns theory right, so naturally we're going to spend entirely too much time talking about it. We also tear into the new Teen Titans #1, fall in love with Wildcard, question why Red Hood is apparently doing freelance detective work in Seattle, and discuss whether Nightwing is just getting dragged into everybody else's bullshit. Then we've got D...

B. Clay Moore joins Pull Party for a ridiculously long conversation about comics, creator ownership, Hollywood, Image Comics, Ignition Press, and pretty much everything else his brain can connect together. We get into Ignition Press and the philosophy behind building an actual comic book company instead of simply treating comics as a pipeline for movie and TV adaptations. Clay talks about creator...

We bought the Bangarang Mystery Boxes from Lost Boy Comics and immediately discovered the one thing you absolutely DON'T want from a mystery box: the exact same comic! We also get way too excited about pool noodles, talk Lanterns, Tyler Kirkham, CGC signatures, Fireborn, and somehow spend a ridiculous amount of time discussing Rob Liefeld's ongoing beef with the word “dude" and Absolu...

We sat down with comic writer and all-around comic nerd Austin Allen Hamblin to talk about his new book Big Guns, Stupid Rednecks. Austin talks about growing up in rural Iowa, discovering comics through Fantastic Four and Jack Kirby, meeting Phil Hester when he was only ten years old, and eventually going from asking Hester how to make comics to actually working with him. That's about as full-circ...

Rob Liefeld is catching strays, Cobra apparently has an HR department, and we're somehow doing forensic accounting on an '80s G.I. Joe cartoon. We also talk graded comics, Absolute Batman homage covers, Big Guns Stupid Rednecks, Poison Ivy, and the horrifying realization that living in Gotham would make your insurance company spontaneously combust. For ALL things Pull Party Chattanooga Com...

We have two announcements, a Dunkin' rant, a comic book confession booth, and approximately seventeen reasons to be exhausted by Marvel. Pull Party Episode 37.1 is here and somehow the first ten minutes are about tipping. We're talking Chattanooga Comic-Con, Austin Allen Hamblin, D23, Vision Quest, Ghost Rider, X-Men, Doctor Doom, Lanterns, Jon Stewart, Hal Jordan, and the comics we're...

Moon Knight is an A-HOLE Deadpool is depressed. The moon is apparently f*cked. Moon Knight betrays his entire team. Batman punches an assassin directly into next Tuesday. And somehow Skipping Stone is the name Marvel settled on for a Toad/Blob descendant. Yep. It's another Pull Party. We're talking Deadpool #7, Bishop #2, Moon Knight #7, Batman #12 by Matt Fraction, Power Rangers: Green #1, upcomi...

LARPers be LARPing! Comic books are for everybody... unless you ask the internet. This week we're ranting about comic book gatekeeping, "fake fans," rage bait, and why people can't just let other people enjoy things. Along the way we somehow end up talking politics in comics, Absolute Batman, comic conventions, collecting, and the never-ending quest to spend way too much money on funny books. Robe...

We sat down with comic artist Bob Quinn and spent a shocking amount of time discussing a mutant that poops ice cream. Then we accidentally had one of the best creator interviews ever, talking X-Men, Black Cat Social Club, leaving the video game industry, unfinished passion projects, nostalgia for arcades, and why sometimes the dumbest joke you draw in a laundromat refuses to die. Comics are weird,...

Pull Party #34 | Gambit: Wanted #1 / Batman of Two Worlds / Superman: Father of Tomorrow #3 / Ordained: The Machine San Diego Comic-Con dropped enough announcements to fry our collective comic book brains, but first we argued about whether a desert is technically half a beach, opened way too many blind bags, and learned Ninja Turtles started life by lovingly making fun of Daredevil. Then we yelled...

Because Paul had the AUDACITY to not include Storm in his top 10 mutants, we sat down with Zayne to draft an All-Star line up of Marvel's best. Who's team wins?

Paul nearly dissolved his face with a Sour Punch Straw and Red Bull combo because apparently we listen to the comments now. After surviving that terrible decision, we argued about Absolute Deathstroke, accidentally connected half the Absolute Universe together like conspiracy theorists with a corkboard, declared Dork is still criminally good, and somehow ended up talking about Batman bullying KGBe...

This week starts with Twizzlers as drinking straws and dives headfirst into Batman traffic patterns, angry YouTube comments, Absolute Batman insanity, and Paul declaring war on scalpers (again) with the calm energy of a raccoon trapped in a vending machine. Also, if you came here expecting reasonable comic book discourse... that's honestly on you. Chapters 00:00 - Intro and Apologies 19:30 - M...

We dragged Zayne Henderson into the madhouse to talk comics, content creation, Batman, Daredevil, collecting, and why discussion is so important among people who are different. Somehow this turned into one of the most wholesome conversations we've ever had... don't worry, Paul still made sure we couldn't monetize it. You may ask yourself, "why do I care?" Honestly, that's...

Paul created an entire Venn diagram just to explain why some Batmobiles are "long boys" and others are apparently just Hondas with trauma. Then things immediately spiraled into Batman movie arguments, comic speculation, and bronies get more cringeworthy... which honestly tracks for us at this point. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 04:31 Shout out Zane 08:21 The science behind creating Batmobiles....
