Aaron and Damien return with the raunchiest edition of Extra Lives yet! The guys discuss the fun of driving to Hooters, putting breast physics in your pocket, and naming our time machines after parts of anatomy. Shockingly, Damien isn't the one responsible for all three topics. Oh yeah, and more Chrono Trigger.

Does Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin: Batman Reborn live up to the hype, and is Danger Girl: The Ultimate Collection anything more than a cheesecake comic? The answers may surprise you!

This installment of Reddick & Sims is all about you! That's right, it's their first-ever write-in show! Listen as the guys answer questions about Brightest Day and The Heroic Age, which comic book characters they'd like to have a chat with, and the differences between the hype machines of DC and Marvel.

In this edition of 1st Issue Special, Des and Mike tackle pulp and Golden Age heroes, hardened killers, and another Jeph Loeb-written Ultimate Universe comic (First Wave #1, Green Hornet #1, Nemesis: The Impostors #1, Punisher Max: Butterfly, and Ultimate Comics: New Ultimates #1).

Rikki Barnes, the Heroes Reborn Bucky, has made her way to the core Marvel Universe, and like her time-displaced mentor, she finds herself lost in an unfamiliar world (Nomad: Girl Without a World). And instead of accepting her father's rules, Chance Falconer grabs her destiny by the horns and makes her own future (Leave it to Chance: Shaman's Rain).

In this packed edition of Extra Lives, Aaron and Damien are left in a state of awe and wonder when discussing an upcoming title. The awesomeness doesn't stop there, as the guys then power through one of the most entertaining sections of Chrono Trigger, featuring half a dozen boss fights, and Frog cutting a goddamn mountain in half. If that weren't enough, our hosts then reveal the next game they'r...

Leave your expectations at the door, as everything you know is turned topsy-turvy. (Well, most everything.) This time around Des and Mike review Choker #1, Hit-Monkey, Milestone Forever #1, Ultimate X #1, and X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back #1.

There's a major twist in Punisher Noir, one that blows Dan and Mike away. But does the rest of the collection follow through on the promised excitement? And then they cover Bone: Out from Boneville, which counters the mob-killing violence of Punisher Noir with its all-ages cuteness.

First Dan and Mike discuss Jonathan Hickman's take on the Fantastic Four (Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman, volume one), then they look at Alan Moore's love letter to pulp heroes (Tom Strong, book one).

What happens when two dashing young gentlemen cross postapocalyptic ruins and enter the realm known only as Mode 7? Another edition of Extra Lives happens, that's what. Join Aaron and Damien as they take you through the next few hours of Chrono Trigger and brave the world of 2300 AD. Also, suspicions of rickrolling, scuba fetishists, and a grown man weeping over abstract art and roses. Don't miss...

There's pain and suffering, pleasant surprises, and mixed feelings this week as Dan and Mike discuss Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance, The Brave and the Bold: Demons and Dragons, and Green Lantern vs. Aliens.

RISE!

This episode may be short, but it's stuffed full of solicitations from the February Previews catalog!

Crono on trial! Monsters playing poker! A frog with a sword! Dogs and cats living together! It's anarchy in the streets! Or it's just the next few hours of Chrono Trigger. Join Aaron and Damien as they try to prove their innocence whilst thwacking guards on the back of the head. Will our hosts discover the secret to defeating the enigmatic Dragon Tank? Also: frozen sexual deviants, piranhas that d...

Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost #1, Army of Two #1, Conan: The Weight of the Crown, Joe the Barbarian #1, and Outsiders #26 are the five comic books Des and Mike take a look at this week.

With The Avengers: World Trust, Marvel has finally released Geoff Johns' initial Avengers storyline, but does it live up to expectations? Then in Secret Warriors: God of Fear, God of War, Nick Fury's team of underground heroes do... stuff. Supposedly. And Astro City: Life in the Big City proves that Kurt Busiek knows superheroes better than anyone else.

In the first edition of Extra Lives, genuine Aussie Aaron Robinson and wannabe Brit Damien Wilkens discuss the first hour of the immortal Chrono Trigger. But before that, there is foolishness abound, a nine-foot tall dominatrix, bikini samurais, and even a bad Michael Sims impression! There's something for everyone!

While reviewing Casanova #1, Fell #1, The Goon #1, Thunderbolts #1, Ultimate Spider-Man #1, and Wonder Woman #14, Des and Mike suffer traumatic Countdown flashbacks. Also, Mike rants about Nazis, and Des is inspired to create a new exploitation film series.

First Dan and Mike cover three trade paperbacks (Human Target: Chance Meetings, Wolverine First Class: Class Actions, and Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis - Once and Future), then Ian Wilson stops by to look at the comic book movies of 2009, 2010, and beyond!

Not only do Des and Mike review Blackest Night: JSA #1, but also four one-shots: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow, Captain America Reborn: Who Will Wield the Shield?, Hellboy: The Bride of Hell, and What If? Astonishing X-Men.
