Comics!

It’s here! 3 months in the planning, Hey Kids, Comics! wishes Superman “Happy Birthday” with a look at Superman #1 & #17 and Action Comics #3 & 23.

This time the email really does deal with Bill Robinson and the Italian police. Honest. Then after a discussion about ABBA, Mike and Andrew look at Hellblazer #71, #200, #245 & #275 in part 2 of Farewell, Hellblazer.

After a rather random email segment in which Tootsie Rolls and the Italian Police are discussed, Andrew & Micheal read a stirring send off to John Constantine from a regular listener before looking at Hellblazer #1, #11, #27 and #63 in part 1 of Farewell, Hellblazer.

Avengers Vs X-Men 9-12, A Vs X 6 and various crossovers and tie-ins are covered and dissected as Andrew and Micheal wrap up Avengers Vs X-Men! Was it all worth it? They let you know.

Micheal and Andrew break the internet in half by liking a current Marvel Money Grab, erm, legimate storytelling crossover. As per, there’s a small amount of email silliness and a large amount of complete nonsense. Hey Kids, Comics! Coming in your ears!

Micheal and Andrew make a startling discovery about their new owner before leaping into their extensive coverage the most recent MARVEL event – Avengers Vs X-Men! The decor may be different, the gifts more extravagant but in every other way it’s the same as it ever was! For better or [...]

In an episode made in a single day, Micheal and Andrew look what was in their stockings, compare versions of Final Crisis and talk about Superman Earth One Vol 2 and Batman Earth One. Happy New Year!

With Christmas fast approaching, Micheal and Andrew look at Christmassy comics. I’m sure that’s a huge surprise to you! Coverage of Marvel Team-Up #79, Hellblazer #49 and The Clerks Holiday Special. Merry Christmas everybody!

Micheal & Andrew discuss the Thought Bubble convention and then leap into the finale for PRODIGAL! Some curious art styles, a mixed bag of issues and a confused climax leave a sour taste but overall what was the impression? Download and Listen!

Dick Grayson’s tenure as The Batman heats up as Micheal & Andrew look at the middle third of Prodigal! It all kicks off when Batman takes on Two-Face and Robin takes on people who talk in the cinema! I know who I think is more insidious.

The end of the year approaches and so begins Micheal and Andrew’s epic coverage of the end of the whole shebang that began with KNIGHTFALL – Prodigal. The start of Dick Grayson becoming Batman, not the end. The end is the beginning. Or something. Anyway, ENJOY!!

Episode 100! You don’t need to know anything else!

In the tried and true way podcasters fill out their quota when one of them miscounts, we present an AUDIO COMMENTARY! All of the family settle down to watch SUPERMAN III! There’s a few emails beforehand and the usual nonsense before the film starts so you’ve time to grab a [...]

I’d like to say that these issues of Maximum Carnage reveal a spectacular plot twist that redeems the entire storyline. I’d like to say that. Maximum Carnage concludes. Part 3 of a two part trilogy.

Watch! more mindless fighting. See! plot twists from nowhere! Witness! some quite good art. And hear all about the nadir of the 90’s. More Maximum Carnage. Part 2 of a two part trilogy.

Hark! What light through yonder window breaks? ‘Tis Carnage! And he wants to rampage! For 14 issues! And we’ve read every single one of them to spare you the pain. No, don’t thank us. Just listen to Maximum Carnage Part 1 of a two part trilogy.

Arbitrary season finale? Check. Whoring out due to a new TV/Film? Check. Andrew and Micheal tackle THE LONGBOW HUNTERS, Mike Grell’s much lauded, criminally ignored re-invigoration of Green Arrow. He also has a new TV show out called Arrow! We are so shameless!

Andrew & Micheal wrap up Spotlight On with MIcheal’s final pick – Alex Ross. There’s a look at Justice #2 and Marvels #4 as well as examinations of two short stories, the Kingdom Come Epilogue and the Batman/Superman short from Mythology – the art of Alex Ross. There’s also the [...]

More of the same silliness and banter about comics. You know what to expect by now. Except with added Garth Ennis! Coverage of Preacher #18, Hitman #8 & War Stories – D-Day Dodgers.

On the Eve of Micheal’s 17th birthday, he wrests control of the HeyKids Spotlight and shines it on his pick. Can you guess what it is, yet? Coverage of Batman #700, All-Star Superman #6 and The Invisibles #1

Andrew stands upon the roof of HeyKids Towers and shines the HeyKids spotlight on … PETER DAVID! 3 issues of David excellence in which Mike and Andrew talk about why the Star Trek movie GENERATIONS sucks, humour in comics and terminal diseases! Oh and at 1hr 15m Andrew does a [...]

What will be discussed in the email section this week? Your guess is as good as mine at this point but Micheal then has an uphill battle with his Spotlight, trying to convince Andrew about the merits of Frank Quietly. Does he succeed? There is only one way to find [...]

Email discussion about Dark Knight Rises (again!) leads to a heated debate about a future JLA movie before Michael and Andrew turn the Key Kids Spotlight on John Byrne with a trifecta of stupendous stories from his golden period Alpha Flight 1, FF 250 and Batman/Captain America.

Micheal and Andrew look at the seminal Tales Of The Teen Titans story – The Judas Contract! Learn of the evil of Tara Markov, the debut of Nightwing and wonder how a British Col was in Vietnam! Fun for all but there may be SPOILERS for Dark Knight Rises in [...]
