David finally concedes, and, as a Christmas gift to listeners, we discuss our favorite (and least favorite) comic book movies. 

The X-Men have been through so many permutations (get it?) over the years, it's hard to know what's worth reading and what's not. David and Chris X-plore the best the X-Men have to offer in this X-amination of the book and its various spin-offs. 

After a bit of a hiatus for DragonCon and other things, David and Chris are back with a closer look at the best alternate timeline comics out there from Marvel and DC.

David and Chris have spent the first 20 episodes talking about almost completely DC and Marvel. But what about the indies?  Our hosts investigate some of the best current and classic indie comics in this episode. Also - superhero under (outer?) wear colors.

No other decade in the history of comics is as maligned as the 1990s. Rightfully so, but that doesn't mean there aren't some great comics that emerged during this dark time. David and Chris explore the good and the bad of the EXTREME 90s. 

Which do you prefer - Marvel's Invaders or DC's All-Star Squadron/JSA? David and Chris take a closer look at both of these WW2 teams and make some surprising discoveries along the way.

Both Marvel and DC are replete with great characters who get little or no attention. David and Chris aim to rectify that, if even in a small way.

Like soap operas, death in comic books is never permanent. David and Chris explore some of the biggest and, in some cases, the longest-lasting deaths in comics. It's about death...but it's funny...trust us.

The mid to late 70s saw an explosion of comics based on toy and movie properties, mostly due to the juggernaut that was Star Wars. As it turns out, that's just when David and Chris were kids, so these comics (and their associated products) have great memories attached to them. Join them as they explore the realm of comics based on licensed products in this episode of BwaHaHaCast.

If you've read almost any comics from the 70s to today, then you know the name of J.M. DeMatteis. The prolific author has written everything from the mainstream to the sublime. David and Chris are HUGE JMD fans - there's a mention of him in almost every episode - so they decided to celebrate him this episode. 

David and Chris discuss their favorite mini-series of 4 issues or less - plus, comic book 20 questions!

Is he Marvel's Batman (or is that Moon Knight??) or is he something else entirely? Regardless, Daredevil is a character who has been put through the creative meat grinder more times than David or Chris can count. Our thoughts on that, plus Comic Book 20 questions!

Explore the strange sub-genre of holiday comics with David and Chris.

David and Chris explore the modern legacy of pulp/radio hero The Shadow. Plus: David quizzes Chris on first appearances.

David and Chris take a good look at Spider-Man past, present, and future. Plus, they share the books they are most thankful for during this week of Thanksgiving. 

Halloween 2020 is now in the past, but David and Chris take the moment to dig deep into the sometimes arcane (pun intended) history of the swampy-one. 

David and Chris explore the many sides of Steve Rogers, including the latest version as penned by Ta Nehisi Coates.  

David and Chris look at the good, the bad, and the sometimes bland history of the JLA. Also - what impact has DC's acquisition of the Charlton Comics characters in the 1980s had on the company?

The Hulk has had almost endless iterations, and co-host David Simonton has read them all. Join him and Chris as they examine the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of the Hulk.

David and Chris explore the cornerstone title and team of the Marvel Universe. Along the way, they ponder why no one can seem to create a decent FF movie. Oh, and there's a digression into what has become of Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon, but the details of that are best saved for listeners. Enjoy!

Chris and David examine the long, sometimes tortuous history of a team that has been around in many, many incarnations since 1958.  Also, we get in trouble in our discussion of Brian Michael Bendis and Chris inexplicably thinks the Michael Holt version of Mr. Terrific appears in the Keith Giffen '5 Years Later' version of the Legion (he does not). Enjoy!

David and Chris start the episode with a discussion about the flagship Batman title as it currently exists - with James Tynion and Tony Daniel (and Daniel look-a-likes) at the helm. That leads to favorite runs, creative teams, and Bat-villains, as well as a digression into the short-lived Bat-world of Max Allan Collins. Full show notes at: https://link.medium.com/B4nUlvGGf9
