Well Sawftcheezes, we couldn't stop and that usually means you will reach an end.  Thus we did, we have thoughts and feelings on this great mouse adventure! Coke AND Dank return one last time to the forrest that holds the final face offs we were all waiting for. And we fall into the deep glow of the fire that claims more than one familiar face. Yes it's Scurry by Mac Smith. Who pens the story and...

We are doubling back to take a closer look at Image Comics shared universe... universe, with Ghost Machine . We dive deeper than out last episode introduction [ Arc Analysis #75 ] with 3 major titles the Ghost Machine has to offer. Geiger: a post apocalyptic radioactive anti-heroes Redcoat : a draft dodger who can't seem to die Rook-Exodus: farmers with animal controlling helmets These are their p...

Well Sawftcheezes, we couldn't resist returning back to a book that left us off in a cliffhanger. So why stop? Well. We. Didn't ! Coke AND Dank return to the forest that holds all the critters and creatures that survived "the sky wolf who ate the sun". We sink our teeth deeper into this gem of a book! Yes, it's Scurry by Mac Smith. Who pens the story and draws all the blades of grass, splinters of...

Well well Sawftcheezes, we are back with a book that couldn't help but make Coke AND Dank relive their childhood favourite moments. While also listing off all of their memorable mouse led animated movies of the late 80s and early 90s.  We are talking all things Scurry by Mac Smith. Who pens and draws all the great and desperate adventures of our protagonist Wix, and his ride or dies Pict and Umf a...

It's been about 63 episodes of Arc Analysis, but we are back to this creepy, eerie, exciting universe where something really just keeps killing children! Picking up immediately after the events of the first arc, this volume dives deeper into the lore and backstory of how these child-killing monsters work. We also learn more about where the House of Slaughter and where Erica comes from, and what ca...

What do you get when you take a mermaid out of water and stick her in a mech in a world full of sand and heat? There isn't much talking here, but with a setup like that, you don't really need much more.  Join us as we glance at it for the first time

Well, here we are. At the finale of the 10 episode X-Men TAS revival, and obviously it was a homerun, right? Obviously it's the best animated show out right now, right? Obviously it lived up to our expectations and did our versions of the X-Men justice, right? RIGHT?  Not exactly. In some ways, sure. But in other ways, this was a massive disappointment and boy oh boy, do we have complaints AS WELL...

The next 3 episodes have come and gone; we even gave you all an extra few days to marinate in them.... Before getting the objectively best opinions right here on this very show. Tune out the rest of the noise and just stick with us as we navigate the middle 3 episodes that bring us our first look at Genosha, a space opera and a trip to New Mexico, as the sentinels come full circle. And there's a w...

In 1983, Ralph Baksi's Fire and Ice dropped and it tells the story of an evil queen and her son, set on conquering the entire world shortly after the ice age. Against them, stands one man (and help, so clearly not 'just' one man) from a destroyed village who takes it back to the evil frozen empire in this rotoscope styled film.  A little over 40 years later, how does this bad boy stand up to the t...

Okay so.. We were going to wait to do an episode on the entire series, but let's be real here: we love talking about X-Men (if the last 4 or 5 episodes weren't evidence enough of that). In the spirit of being the mutant FREAKS we are, here are the first 4 episodes of the new X-Men 97 series (that due to technical issues, is a week late #sorrynotsorry). We talk about the character arcs thus far, di...

Our first look took a while, so our second look continues on the mean green path to salvation or more likely destruction. but, of who?  Immortal Hulk is one of those titles that keeps giving to Hulk fans are in for a ride! Writers: Al Ewing, Joey Bennett and Artists: Ruy Josè, Paul Mounts show what a maniac Bruce can be when pushed to deal with his internal struggles and angry issues.  Coke and Da...

PREVIOUSLY, ON X-MEN... We had to. You know that we had to. Anyways, X-Men 97 premiered yesterday, but instead of covering the first two episodes of that series, we decided to revisit its origins: X-Men The Animated Series from the 90s. What we didn't do is cover every single episode of all 5 seasons, but instead, we picked 17 episodes (a few from each season), to talk about and discuss. Are they...

Image Comics is about to enter the shared universe... universe. And Ghost Machine is the introduction to the first few characters that will be taking part in this world. Dive in and check out the issue for the several stories that are here: post apocalyptic radioactive anti-heroes, farmers with animal controlling helmets, and a red coat who can't seem to die are just a few examples of what is to c...

No, seriously. Ask yourself: "If you die in the woods, does anybody care?" This playfully dark book by Steve Steiner kinda explores this. Deep in the woods of Big Hole Park, people are going missing and it's up to the pair of rangers (and a lost infomercial host) to figure out who or what is murdering these hikers.. be it man OR beast. It's either that or keep hiding the bodies themselves... --Hit...

THE HOX POX DOX is deliveth !! We're back on the Jonathan Hickman's choo-choo, and we're flying through the days and lives of our favourite X-Mens. With Reign of X recharging our love of this comic-run we go full steam into an event like no other. Coke and Dank are now full shills for everything X-Men (except Children of the Atom ) and as the saga continues, we're back to finish off the party, wit...

Its a First Glance - of hip-hoppic-proportions that doesn't make sense, but leave it to Image Comics and superstar musician and now writer Scott " KID CUDI " Mescudi and Kyle Higgins with artist Marco Locati to weave their story of a returning astronaut to earth and the mysteries he brings with him.  There are hits , there are misses but there is a lot to get into when it comes to the original Moo...

It's Saga time! AGAIN And it didnt take us long to return back to this Image published, Brian K. Vaughan written and Fiona Staples drawn: Romeo-and-Juliet-Star-Warish-Harry-and-the-Henderson's-Spy-vs-Spyish-grand-level-world-building-Arc-Analysis-episode! The world is just so big so we came back with a bang, to this ongoing space soap opera. With some background now covered, and understanding of o...

THE HOX POX DOX has cometh !! We're back on the Jonathan Hickman train, and we're jacked. As you can tell both Coke and Dank have shared their ups and downs of the first part of the Reign of X saga, and now we're back to finish what we started. This ain't X of Swords, it's Reign of X and it is bringing us closer to what we hope will be a dope conclusion of this mutant league run. So gear up for th...

We came back for round 2 of Bitch Planet! If you know the first volume, then you know the premise of a prison planet that was built to house disobedient females away from the male-controlled Earth, and you also know about the cliffhanger vol 1 left us on. Well we couldn't sit with that nonsense, so we dived back in so we could find out how the second and final volume wraps up. --Hit us up at comic...

Our beloved Batman The Animated Series ended in 1998, and a year later, the next version of the character debuted in Batman Beyond!  "Rebirth" is the two parter that kicked off season 1, and we cover it in here - all about the shoes it had to fill coming off of Batman TAS and how, at the same time, it being its own possible classic

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez created Locke and Key.  Coke and Dank now breakdown Locke and Key yet AGAIN!. Volume 3 for this story of magical keys and family drama and deep, dark secrets. And we'll keep going too, because this story is too much of a fun, and unique ride. We're back with the Locke's and all the tragedy they have been facing, from the continued fallout of their dead father and alc...

Yeah. We watched the Madame Web trailer and this is what we have to say about it. So, yeah. Madame Web. Yup...

We all have way more apps on our phones than we care to admit, but what if you had an app that was a guaranteed hookup?  No, not Tinder or Bumble or whatever similar "dating" app you know of; I mean one that could link you directly with the person or kink you desire most. That app is Crave. And this is First Glaaaaance of Crave #1 (of 6)

Do you miss the Daredevil show that was on Netflix? Well Marvel proper heard you, so before we get the 18 episode Daredevil: Born Again series, we get this precursor from the scenes of lasy year's Hawkeye: Echo. It will be the MCU's first M rated show and this trailer gives you just enough to understand the tone without telling you too much more. Safe to say, we are in.

Sink volume 1 hit us like a ton of bloody bricks. So we obviously couldn't wait too long for the follow-up and hoo boy, if you enjoyed the first chapter as much as we did, this is a must read. It picks up right after the events in the first book, and also acts as a way to bring multiple characters and arcs together in an even tighter way. It's a culmination of events in this wild, violent universe...
