THE HOX POX DOX has returneth !! Being big Jonathan Hickman fans (still), when he was entrusted to take over the new direction for X-Men, we were jacked(initially). That had us follow the first run of X-Men: Dawn of X , House of X, Powers of X and the eventus they built up to X of Swords. However, X of Swords broke us into taking a 2-year hiatus from this comic series. But we're back to b!tch agai...

Hey there. Yes, you, reading this description. Have you ever been curious about what a world war would look like if it was based on old people who live forever vs the younger generation who are living under the old geezer's thumbs? Oh, you have huh? Well what if I told you to add no less than two types of super soldiers into the mix and a woman from the future who has special powers that become st...

This one is a throoowback. Watching this as a kid is a little different than watching it as an adult. As a kid, I saw a dude flying around in a super cool costume and bad guys a plenty trying to shoot him down and that was fun. As an adult, this one is very reminiscent of Iron Man (2008) but with the mob, old school planes, the mob, nazis and a dude flying around in a super cool costume.

The concept of this book is incredibly unique and it has a way of grabbing our interest on that alone. 'Bitch Planet' is the nickname given to a prison planet that was built to house disobedient females, away from Earth, which was controlled entirely by rich males in power. This story is about what goes down on that prison planet and some of the prisoners on it. --Hit us up at comicpatrolpod@gmail...

Do you know who Genndy Tartakovsky is? You better. The man has had his hand in many projects you probably loved, but this time, with this series 'Primal', he's outdone himself. What do you get when a T-Rex and a caveman form a bond over shared trauma? Well.. we don't use the word masterpiece loosely, but this series could be in the conversation. OR we could be lying to you and we absolutely hated...

WE DID A COMIC BOOK FOR FIRST GLANCE AGAIN! A little over the top but we were probably excited. Now that that's out of the way, let's take a look at Crypt of Shadows #1, Marvel's comic book version of Treehouse of Horrors. We get stories centered around Scarlet Witch, Hulk, Deadpool, and Daredevil, with a bunch of other characters and cameos. Of course the themes and faces we see get us to start t...

We're gonna be honest with you here... This is a movie. A movie from 1984. A movie from 1984 where a guy is transformed by barrels of toxic waste into some hulking monster who can sense evildoers and proceeds to break, beat or melt them with his bare hands. He also wears a tutu. If you like cheesy 80's action, flare and forced comedy, then boy oh boy do we have a movie for you! --Hit us up at  com...

The Maxx. What more can be said about this property. If you are not familiar with this comic (or cartoon) and you consider yourself a big comic guy (or gal), that title for you is debatable. Sam Kieth created something so unique, so interesting, so special here that you need to check this out. Not should; need.  Is it a superhero comic? Is it a trip? Is it confusing and charming and disgustingly b...

Yup Coke and Dank waited for the Friday the 13th to give you guys our next comic Arc Analysis. And oh boy it stays with you... Welcome to the town of Sinkhill. This is a town that even the bravest of superheroes would take a second before driving through. Luckily no heroes are needed for this grounded, brutal, wild and maniac mad mad world. Less is more for this 2018 John Lees gem! So Buckle up an...

Ya, we're doing another first glance trailer edition. Look, the people (all 3 of you) cried for more, so here we are giving you just that. MORE glances that are first at trailers for upcoming comic book projects. Hopefully we can stay on topic and only talk about the sequel to 2018's Aquaman, but if you know us, you know we're going to talk about other things a lot. Or maybe we just talk about how...

[were late, but we still love you, sometimes] So were back with a midnight special - That Texas Blood. Less is more for this small little town murder mystery, its brimming with beauty from every blood soaks line stroke and we learn that it's an art style kept in the family for artist JACOB PHILLIPS (father Sean Phillips) and  take of revenge for writer CHRIS CONDON. Welll.... Join us as we follow...

It's not the first time Mickey and his gang jump into another tale, story or fantasy to teach readers the ins and outs of life and love. Welp. This isn't that as we join Mickey into the beginnings of Dante's Inferno and his first circle of hell.  if you're wondering how long to took Coak n Dank to turn a G rated Mickey Mouse project, into R Rated content...not long. Join us as we ask the important...

Man, do we love our turtles.  But we noticed it had been a full calendar year since we had done anything TMNT-centric, and that's just not right. So, as luck would have it, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem dropped in theatres and we obviously soaked it in.  In this episode, we review it.. Comic Patrol style. We saw the opportunity to square Mutant Mayhem up with the only other (not direct-to-TV) animated Turtl...

From the jump its no secret how much fun Coke and Dank have with this bottle cap review. Its overflowing with, fun, farts, personality, humour, sight gags, disco dancers and star power, don't believe us? its a movie that has a cast of ... Ben Stiller Janeane Garofalo William H. Macy Jenifer Lewis Greg Kinnear Hank Azaria Tom Waits Geoffrey Rush Claire Forlani Kel Mitchell Wes Studi Eddie Izzard Pr...

Our 2nd 'First Glance - TRAILER' keeping in tradition we continue not to do trailer reactions, but stick to our first views of something comic book coming soon. Enter Loki Season 2, what we think is Marvels last chance to save their TV series run up.  Watch how we jump through our Loki's S02 first glance, Marvel Invasion's dropping of green balls and cream over our X-Men 97 wishlist. Honestly, we...

It didn't take long for Coke and Dank to roll down memory lane and remember this 1987 classic . Join the duo as they relive their childhood traumas , laughs  and inside jokes and re-love this animated, musical, adventure - The Brave Little Toaster. A gem before it's time, and the hardest movie to find on streaming! Hope you still have your VHS copy.   City of Lights - TBLT  --Hit us up at comicpat...

New Lantern members Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are partnered up and forced to face their fears, mishaps and anxieties as they look to take down the furious Red Lantern Corp.  --Hit us up at comicpatrolpod@gmail.com if you want to add a s...

The very first Arc Analysis episode we did (wayyy back in 2019) was for Volume 1 of a wonderful book called Deadly Class. In some ways, it helped us kick off this podcast... In other ways, I just made that up for dramatic effect! Anyways, this is the continued misadventures of a high school for assassins, and it's very 80's in the most fun ways. How are Marcus and Maria getting on after the stuff...

Our first foray into the MLP universe, and even though we weren't sure what to expect, we know all about the faithful following the line has. Bronies ain't nothing to play with, and after this episode, maybe we're going to join the team... Nah, we aren't but this book definitely has it's merits and this episode of Arc Analysis is worth a good listen. --Hit us up at  comicpatrolpod@gmail.com  if yo...

"It bombed atomically/ Furious philosophies and hypotheses/ Flee with the lottery/ possibly they knotted me/ Battle-scarred gravatron/ Explosion when Super-Skrull with Captain Marvel's powers hits tremendous/ Ultraviolet shines when Fury leaves fckin Earth ... Again!" Phase 5 is here with this  anticipated project. It is definitely full of things to talk about. But Coke and Dank pull no punches ta...

When somebody hits you up with their own graphic novel based on a werewolf hunt through a furry convention, you gotta do what you gotta do.. And that means covering it for Arc Analysis! So yes, it is our first official write-in to be on the show, and we're taking full advantage. Especially when the premise sounds as hilariously fun as this one. So buckle up and press play, we've got a lot of messy...

Leave it to the imagination of a then 5 year old to partner the idea of a police cop and an axe, into a giant size adventure of avocados, machine gun dinosaurs and unicorn babies just to start. Join Coke and Dank as their brain wrinkles on the idea of having your lead writer still wet the bed but still get final say! (i guess the child labour laws will look the other way when its family) We talk t...

Not much needs to be said here... We are back in the realm of animated Miles Morales for the second installment of the Spider-Verse series, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. We dig into it here, all the likes, dislikes and everything in between.  --Follow the Weapons on Twitter @Comic_Patrol for some extra tidbits of fun (we maybe promise it isn't gamma d pics)--

Our first 'First Glance' at something that isn't a comic book. In this case, it's Coke's first time watching the trailer for Sony's upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie and everything that it has going for it... Which isn't really all that much. Is this a reaction audio? Nahh, it's a FIRST GLANCE

Boy, did we ever looove the first volume of The Kill Lock; the story of four misfit robots who had been sentenced to a life linked together by a mark they wore. This mark meant that if one of them died, the would all die and forced the four of them - no matter how much they disliked each other - to exist together and closely. Now, after the events of the first volume (which we won't spoil here), w...
