In excitement for a Star Wars thing, we read a Star Wars thing. There's not really any Andor comics but there's plenty of Star Wars comics we've been curious about. We read a book about a character that was created in Star Wars comics by Kieron Gillen with art by Kev Walker! Doctor Aphra is like the Indiana Jones of the Star Wars universe. Just before this story she had worked for Darth Vader alon...

The next book of this year's Eisner winners, we reviewed The Good Asian by Pornsak Pichetshote and Alexandre Tefenkgi. This book won for Best Limited Series, and it was well earned. We had high expectations due to the hype and this definitely lived up to it. Set in the 1930s, this is a crime noir murder mystery set around historically accurate events and places. While firing on all cylinders in th...

After years of seeing her around comic shops, we decided to read about another character we knew nothing about. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl by Ryan North and Erica Henderson was a definitive run on a character that hasn’t been followed up on. Surprisingly created by Spiderman co-creator, Steve Ditko, the characters spirit has continued on in one of the most unique books we've reviewed to date. Ne...

For our DC episode we decided to stay in the prime of Vertigo around the early 90s. Straying from our normal routine of reading the first trades of runs, we decided to read volume 5 when Garth Ennis starts his run on the character. Our curiosity brought us to what is considered a top story arc of John Constantine from a pod favorite writer Garth Ennis with art by Will Simpson collecting issues #41...

The first of this year's Eisner winners that we reviewed is Not All Robots by Mark Russell and Mike Deodato Jr. This book won for Best Humor Publication, and we had a great time with this one.

Set 30 years in the future, Not All Robots is a very realistic prediction for the future of society.  News 01:36  Not All Ro...

In excitement for the new Marvel movie Thor: Love and Thunder, we read the first arc about the villain Gorr the God Butcher. Thor God of Thunder is the first series of the legendary and in our minds definitive run on Thor by Jason Aaron. The first part of the run has incredible artwork by Esad Ribic and colors by Dean White. This is a book we both love that we don't recommend enough to fans of fan...

In memorial of the tragic passing of comic book legend Tim Sale we read Superman: For All Seasons. One of the many iconic collaborations with Jeph Loeb and accompanied by colorist Bjarne Hansen.
