Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #33 (2024) We have reached the finale of the “Darkness Falls” here in WORLD’S FINEST. All Bruce Gordon wanted to was to create a literal Sun City. Unfortunately, Eclipso has ruined it all and now the world’s is in chaos. You got Robin slinging Doctor Fate magic, the Atom performing brain surgery and million-dollar GRE words getting dropped left and right. How will i...

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #32 (2024) It is the continuation of the Eclipso/Word’s Finest arc as the crap really hits the fan because both Superman AND Batman have been Eclipsified! The Watchtower is in pieces, Red Tornado’s all screwed up and the rest of the Justice League is trapped in a purple jewel in the middle of the Sahara. And the worst thing is that Eclipso now has Batman’s dark web...

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #31 (2024) Trying out some of the NEW comics this week as we discuss the latest iteration of WORLD’S FINEST!  It’s time to watch the eclipse from the JLA Watchtower! Superman’s got his Dippin’ Dots, Batman’s got a dumb look on his face and about half of the JLA is possessed by Eclipso. It’s all because Bruce Gordon doesn’t know how to use Dr. Light’s Rolodex Gu...

Captain America #320 (1986) We’ve reached the end of all this Scourge business — for now — as Cap gets his hands on *one* of the Scourges. This is all thanks to wearing a freshly-murdered man’s outfit and lying to the media. There’s also an old-fashioned origin story here for the Scourge involving classic Westerns and Mission: Impossible masks. Plus, we have some comments on all the conveniently-p...

Amazing Spider-Man #278 (1986) Carrying on with Scourge-related content, we jet over to THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN to find that Scourge is in NYC listening to Don Imus and getting ready to hunt down the newly framed for being Hobgoblin, Flash Thompson. But don’t worry because Spider-Man has a police station men’s room-centric plan to ensure Flash’s safety. Also, we recount the story of poor Brian DeWo...

Captain America #319 (1986) It is time for the fireworks factory folks! This is the issue of Captain America where a bunch of random-ass villains get eliminated from existence by the Scourge of the Underworld. Sadly, even after all this, still no one knows who Hellrazor is. Other stuff happens as well including Cap meeting future paramour Diamondback for the first time and it gets real spicy, REAL...

There’s a bit of a hiccup in our schedule so it’s time for another round of HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT…. but at least it fits in with the current Captain America story we are working with. This week, we find out what the deal is with professional wrestler/super-villain LETHA. As it turns out, Letha broke into the business via a sort of Fabulous Moolah operation and ends up in Rikers because of some mark...

Captain America #318 (1986) It’s true — we have now entered Captain America’s Guy Fieri phase as he travels the USA, not for “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” but more “Diners, Drive-Ins and CRIMES!” He’s putzing around in a windowless van like he’s in BLACK PHONE or something, showing off his Wakandan road technology.  He runs into Blue Streak, the roller-skate based villain that goes it alone...

It is time for another [HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT…. segment as Shawn goes it solo to explain the history and general existence of an arbitrary Marvel Comics character (circa 1986). This week we see what the deal is with Marvel’s resident Jesus Christ cosplayer AQUARIAN! For some reason, Marvel decided to give this guy a carbon copy of Superman’s origin, exploding planets and what not. He’s also be...

It is time to return to our rewatch of SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES!! This time out, we are covering: FEEDING TIME (Ep6 - Airdate: 9/21/96) Join us as we discuss topics such as: the greasiest bag lunches holding the Olympics inside the Daily Planet office Brion James absolutely nailing it as the voice of Parasite when are we going to see Superman’s cold breath in action how Clark Kent affords suc...

Saga of the Swamp Thing #6 (1982) The SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING comes to an end as we finally make it to the Plague Ship, where Swampy encounters a frilly tentacle alien. It gets even wilder when a masquerade ball turns into a cyclops gathering at the stroke of midnight. This is a transitional book of sorts but lots to unpack such as Swamp Thing’s traversing half of the Eastern coastline on foot in...

Saga of the Swamp Thing #5 (1982) We keep rolling with our friend Swamp Thing as he takes on a bit of convalescence in a unaccredited hospital that stores a bunch of pink clones in the basement. It might very well be a sequel (or prequel) to BARBARIAN that Swampy has found himself wrapped up in. Regardless, it is a wild time with chokeslams, Swamp Thing back-body dropping security guards and an ev...

Saga of the Swamp Thing #4 (1982) Happy Halloween Month! In honor of the spooky season, we start a run on some pre-Alan Moore SWAMP THING because nothing is more frightening than a moist, musty man covered in moss. Here, Swamp Thing finds himself in the back of a watermelon transport and is dumped in the path of a child-murdering demon. We also get a large helping of media accountability, DEATH TO...

It is time to return to our rewatch of SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES!! This time out, we are covering: FUN AND GAMES (Airdate: 9/7/96) A LITTLE PIECE OF HOME (Airdate: 9/14/96) Join us as we discuss topics such as: Bruno Mannheim’s dump truck ass The dawn of the “fused-hand” fetish Eliot Stabler squares off against a giant duck Lois Lane’s need for a modest action skirt The proper way to run a new...

Silver Surfer #3 (1968) It’s the debut of Marvel’s [kind of] Satan, Mephisto, as we close out our Silver Surfer run. Surfer saves the Earth girl from last episode but Earth is ungrateful and calls him a “rotten killer.” In response, Silver Surfer disables the planet with an EMP for about ten minutes, probably killing millions in the process. Meanwhile, Mephisto gets hot over Surfer giving humanity...

Silver Surfer #2 (1968) We’re back on track with the Silver Surfer’s earth-bound adventures as the Sentinel of the Spaceways attempts to figure out his place on this infernal planet. He starts out in Transylvania but Teddy Roosevelt runs him out of town. Then it is off to NYC (?) but since Surfer is practically nude, all they want to do is throw him in jail. Maybe warning the planet about the inva...

It’s the RETURN of the [RANDOM] OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE segment as Shawn goes it solo to explain the history and general existence of an arbitrary Marvel Comics character (circa 1986). Join as Shawn earnestly stumbles his way through the tale of Turner D. Century, the anachronistic Spider-Woman villain who rode a flying bicycle and had a flamethrower umbrella. This dude was raised...

Silver Surfer #1 (1968) So, ok, this is a REALLY GOOD comic book and not the worst of our collection BUT there is a lot to pick apart and make fun of because, my goodness, is Silver Surfer a dramatic boy! Join us as we talk about the Surfer’s first ongoing book where we learn about how extra he was as young Norrin Radd on Zenn-La. Dude was SO BORED on a planet full of peace and art and prosperity....

Shadowpact #3 (2006) We’re almost there but Shadowpact is SUPER close to figuring out this Pentacle Plot and saving Wyoming. If only they can escape from their blood prisons with the help of David Lynch and his high standards for villainy. All this plus Detective Chimp getting his revenge, Blue Devil as Drew McIntyre and the Murder Hole in action! Promo: REQUIRED READING ( https://requiredreadingw...

Shadowpact #2 (2006) Shadowpact is still stuck inside the blood bubble, running out of time as the Pentacle enacts its plans to throw innocent people into the MURDER HOLE. Can they save the town or will a psychotic child (?) in a Boy Scout uniform prove victorious? All this plus super-beings outfit-shaming each other, a sword that makes you sleepy and why the Mandalorian is such a dim fellow. ***...
