Look Up! We have the start of the all-new, all-different cinematic DC Universe with the release last week of Superman . Did we like the movie? Like you have to ask. We knew we were going to love this film as soon as we saw Krypto in the first trailer last year. The guys were busy last Saturday. John and Jerry had a table at the inaugural KC Nerd Fest . At the same time, Cullen helped coordinate ne...

Shortly after we finished last week's podcast, word started circulating about the passing of Jim Shooter , longtime writer and editor with ties to Marvel , DC , Valiant , and Defiant Comics . We had the opportunity to host a panel with him ten years ago, which led to an incredible night at the bar following. Listen to our memories of Jim Shooter, and share your memories with us.  For those in the...

We should have named this episode after the Seinfeld TV show, cause we just made up an entire show out of nothing.  Is Marvel looking to end the Ultimate universe? Only according to one writer of Ultimate X-Men . But seeing how fast he deleted his tweets, the only thing ending may be the writer's tenure at Marvel. Dynamite Comics has found a new home. And where will you be getting your DC Comics i...

At the end of the month, we will get a new take on The History of the DC Universe , this time scripted by writer Mark Waid .

More importantly, we want to hear from you about your reading and buying habits.  We have our weekl...

Last week, shortly after we finished recording, word went out on social media that writer Peter David had passed away. David has been part of our collective comic book experience since the 1980s. His impact is tremendous, and his stories continue to amaze us decades later.  Marvel and DC finally announced their new joint project, with Deadpool teaming up with Batman later this year. We share what...

You can find John and Jerry at Clint's Comics in Kansas City from 11 AM to 2 PM. Come down and celebrate the...

We finished season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again , and the thought of waiting a year for season 2 will drive us mad. But did things wrap up like we expected? Last weekend, a new trailer for this summer's  Fantastic Four   movie and a teaser trailer to celebrate Superman Day came out. Will these movies be getting our money this summer? Ummm, yes.  The demand for DC's Absolute line is not slowing down....

John, Cullen, and Jerry all stopped by some local comic shops this week to pick up some of those funny books you all like to read. What came home with us this week?
