Magazines and Monsters

Hey there zany ones! My pal from across the pond, Mart Gray is back! He brought along the first ever issue of the Brave and the Bold he ever read! This one isn't your typical Haney script, as he hadn't quite yet formed his zany ways in writing, but never fear, there's enough madness to go around! We hypothesize on alien horniness and whether or not comic book science is real! As usual, if you'd li...

Hey everybody! Believe it or not, I've coaxed Sean Ross out of podcast semi-retirement! OK, ok, it's not quite that dramatic, but, he has returned to the show to talk about one of his favorite comics! This was a first time read for me, and I was ecstatic for Sean to talk with me about this one, as he's a huge fan of Hawk and Dove. So, join us for a good time talking comics! As usual, if you'd like...

Hey everybody! Jeremiah is back and we’re continuing on with our coverage of the Phantom Stranger! These two kooky issues had us laughing a bit, but they were also a lot of fun.

As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so...

Hey there, zany ones! Luke from the Earth Destruction Directive podcast is back! We have another Batman/Sgt Rock team up to talk about, but this one isn’t in WWII!?

Hey there horror fans! As you've most likely heard, the comic book industry lost a pioneer in Ramona Fradon.

Hey all you lantern fans! Keith G Baker is back, and we are jumping into the next issue of this awesome mini-series!

Hey everybody! Ed Moore is back, and we've got two more fantastic issues of glorious Jack Kirby artwork to talk about! We get a strange new villain (or is he?), that resembles the Phantom of the Opera or Sewers, if you will. Plus, we then theorize if Jason Blood has the largest apartment known to mankind. Oh and the correct way to spell mannikin is mannequin! If you'd like to leave any feedback fo...

Hey there, zany ones! My good pal Mart Gray (the Too Dangerous for a Girl Blog) is back, and we've got a fantastic issue to cover! One of my favorite things in comics, is when writers try to script dialogue from another country. Haney has some fun moments and some ridiculous ones as well, but Mart and I have a fun time sifting through it all! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the s...

Hey everybody! My buddy Jeremiah is back, and we are ready to jump back into our coverage of The Phantom Stranger! It's been too long since we talked about DC's supernatural superhero.

As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedba...

Hey everybody! Karen is back and boy do we have a crazy movie for you! Peter Cushing, John Carridine and Brooke Adams star in this weird, creepy film from 1977! Zombies can be pretty scary, but underwater nazi zombies are terrifying. We talk about the cast a bit, then dive headfirst into the movie, and we talk about it all, even some of its issues. It may be low budget, but it's definitely worth a...

Hey there zany ones! It's time to take a walk on the tech side, as Batman and The Atom must find a hacker! Luckily for me, though, Delvin from the Longbox Crusade is here with me to help decode this crazy story! We'll try to figure out if these bad guys are German or Swiss, and if computers control traffic lights in 1979. Plus, we might need to call the X-Men, as we have a Trask in our midst! As u...

Hey everybody, Mike from Comics in the Golden Age is back, and we're jumping back into our coverage of the Frankenstein series of films from Hamer Studios! This film is really interesting, and we deep dive about it in this episode. There's no real continuity from the previous film to speak of, but that's probably a good thing. We get Peter Cushing, and as usual he's fantastic, add in Thorley Walte...
