Panelism

San Diego Comic Con starts next week! July 17th, to be precise. Todd will be in attendance. So in preparation, we've polished up the survival guide we created in 2018. We talk about what to pack, what to expect, how to get around, and more insider info. Follow us for more from SDCC: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode, we come together for Alex and Ada, volumes 1 and 2. We each read them (Taylor completed the series by reading vol. 3) and we discuss AI, dystopia, sex dolls and all the other fun stuff surrounding these books. Follow us: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode we're supposed to be talking about The Totally Awesome Hulk from 2016 but we manage to cover Dark Phoenix, The Incredible Hulk TV show, superhero origin stories, Marvel's packaging weirdness, and the perils of eating Triscuits before recording a podcast. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can check out The Totally Awesome Hulk there for free. Follow us: https://instagram.com/pan...

We discuss the graphic novel Iscariot by S.M. Vidaurri. It's a beautiful book with some great moments. We talk about what makes it imperfect. Follow us: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on the show, Taylor talks about the new series, Gunning for Hits, which just wrapped up its first arc. It's a crime thriller based in the 1980s music business. It follows Martin Mills a mercenary turned A&R rep as he tries to break an indie band. Follow us: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For this show, we revisit a book that Taylor talked about in episode #57: Grant Morrison's Multiversity. And though we say in the episode that it's full of spoilers, I don't think we actually spoil anything. This series is so sprawling that we can't give much away. So I say: ignore our spoiler warning and enjoy the episode. If you have read the book, this may feel like a book club. If you haven't...

Holy wow! It was quite the jump back into comics after that abbreviated Game of Thrones season. But here we are: talking comics again. Todd brings A-Force Volumes 1 and 2 from 2016 to discuss. Short version: he loved the main stories. Long version: why does Marvel put extra dumb issues in the trade paperbacks of their awesome stories? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our pre-occupation with Game of Thrones and Todd's obsession with Dungeons and Dragons has led to this: a huge conversation about the templates of fantasy, why we think fantasy has "rules," and why fans are reluctant to concede that there shouldn't be any rules. We talk about so much related to this topic that it's difficult to sum up but some things to check out: Our Instagram: https://www.instag...

Back to the comic books after all that Avengers talk. Todd brings the 2016 series Black Canary by Brendan Fletcher with art by Annie Wu and Pia Guerra. Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We can't believe it's been 11 years and 22 movies either. But here it is: the Endgame. We gush; we spoil; we wonder about time travel. Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Back to the comic books in this episode. Taylor brings in 2018's Thanos Wins and Todd tries his best to make this a podcast about Twisted Sister's Christmas album. Grab Thanos Wins on Comixology Unlimited if you're so inclined and meet us back here for the Panelism book club. Follow us: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast.

We've given you an extra weekend to run out and watch Shazam! Now, we're going to chat about it with spoilers (we give a warning ahead of spoilers). If you weren't exhausted from a weekend of Hellboy and Game of Thrones, we hope you caught this super fun movie. Join us for the chat.

Welcome to a special episode of Panelism. We're crossing the streams this week and bringing you an episode from our Game of Thrones podcast, Wednesday in Westeros. As Game of Thrones enters its final season, we're here to talk about it a seemingly endless amount. We catch up on where the gang was at the end of Season 7 and then set about talking about everything we can think of. It's a truly epic...

We set out to cover every single movie coming out this summer. No, that's nuts. We just talk about the major releases we're interested in and a few WTF releases--several WTF releases. Come for the Avengers, stay for...Playmobil the Movie? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As soon as we got online to record a new episode, Todd started ranting about a video he'd just watched that twisted his brain into a pretzel. Taylor said, "hit record." If he hadn't, we wouldn't have anything to share this week. Beset with technical problems moments later, we cobbled together most of the pre-episode conversation about the continuity of the Tesseract, Captain Marvel's real origin,...

On this episode of Panelism, Taylor talks about a beautiful Drawn & Quarterly book, Adrian Tomine's Killing and Dying. In six short stories, Tomine tells compact stories that are full of ideas and humanity. Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Panelism, we chat about Captain Marvel the movie and the limited series, The Life of Captain Marvel. We also touch on The Mighty Captain Marvel and like, a million other things. Don't worry about spoilers! We give warning. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Panelism, Todd talks about a Morrison / Quitely joint that's almost ten years old -- Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn. He and Taylor try to place the comic in the right context. Was in New 52? At any rate, the book came out in one universe reboot after Bruce Wayne had "died." Batman Reborn covers the time period when Dick Grayson donned the cape and cowl and took on Bruce's son...

In this episode, Todd brings a comic that both he and Taylor had overlooked for years: Mouse Guard. We talk about Volume 1, Fall 1152. It's a medieval tale told from mouse height: monsters, traitors, swords, axes, maps, and heroes. Spoiler alert: Todd loved it. Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We continue our discussion about how we consume comic books and graphic novels, taking a closer look at the pros and cons of print vs digital. We ask: are we talking about two different mediums? Spoiler alert: we don't have any hard and fast answers. Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Panelism, Taylor and Todd tackle one of those questions that comes up again and again during our comic book discussions: in a digital world, is it better to own or rent (via subscription) your comic books? That brings up a lot of other questions that we discuss as well. Find us at https://instagram.com/panelism.ink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, Taylor asks the obvious question, "what does that even mean?" after Todd introduces the episode. This book, Unnatural by Mirka Andolfo, is really unusual. It's a story about a totalitarian government...and the pig people, mouse people, wolf people, and goat people who are oppressed by said government because they...can't legally get it on together. It's pervy and dark and scary and hilarious...

In this episode, Taylor talks about Jodorowsky's Technopriests, published between 1998 and 2006 in eight issues (or chapters). It's another sci-fi nightmarish/dystopian/awesome vision from a singular visionary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Panelism, we have a Giant size celebration of comic books and graphic novels worth having on your shelf. And a tiny percentage of books NOT worth having on your shelf. We talk about books we talk about all the time but mostly, we recap some favorites and tell you where to hear more. Follow us on Instagram at https://instagram.com/panelism.ink The books we discuss here and the ep...

Approaching episode 100, Todd and Taylor do an epic episode on the legendary cross-over event book: Crisis on Infinite Earths. TL;DL not worth having on your shelf. Join us as Todd rants about the racism, sexism, and bad writing of a book so impenetrable that DC continues to name books "Crisis" in an attempt to water-down the word and make it less crisis-y. We also talk about Aquaman and, inevitab...
