Cosmic Rays and Correspondence- - FF 269-270

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/11/08

What do you do with a problem like Terminus? Well, you treat him like a mini Galactus, because that's kinda what he is. The FF head out to the Southwest US where Terminus, a big alien in planet-devouring armor, has landed. Luckily Reed has invented something which he spent 2 pages explaining to us towards the start of the story. We also get: Sue working through depression, She-Hulk flirting with Wyatt Wingfoot, and (gasp) Johnny falling in love with Alicia. All done with the as-usual stellar art and

Hall of Milksops - JLA Earth 2

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/11/01

We close out our coverage of the terrific Grant Morrison JLA run with this adventure that was released as its own graphic novel: JLA Earth 2. Done by Morrison and Frank Quitely -- who would later do the sublime All-Star Superman series -- this story is about an alternate world where the JLA is evil (the Crime Syndicate of America) and Lex Luthor is good! CSA is not a Morrison invention -- it goes back to 1964 when Gardner Fox created them during the original run of JLA stories. But here we get a

Hall of Milksops - JLA World War III (34, 36-41)

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/10/25

World War III! We've got nuclear bombs, some New Gods (and their dogs), angels, huge eye balls, Lex Luthor, some alternate dimensional space, Batman getting his revenge on Promethus, the end of Wonder World (a place we had barely heard of), the return of the Shaggy Man (gone for almost 3 issues!) and Superman kissing Huntress, kind of. It's also the final Grant Morrison arc from the JLA title that we're covering (though we are doing a few special issues next ep). Kevin feels there are too many

Hall of Milksops - JLA Shaggy Man (25, 26) + JLA/JSA...

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/10/18

We're back on the Grant Morrison JLA run which means we are back to COMPLICATED RECAPS. This time we have a relatively simple 2 issue story of the JLA vs a corrupt general and his Ultramarines! There's only like 6 new characters in this, so --- not too complex! But whoops then we have the 4 part story "Crisis TIme Five." In this story, there is an invasion from the fifth dimension which somehow leads to the JLA teaming up with their older Golden Age counterparts the Justice Society of America

Episode 250: A Slapdash Affair

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/10/04

The Milksops realize that it's episode 250 and they should do something special. So we take a break from JLA and do these things: read promotional blurbs suggested by our listeners, force Kevin to answer trivia, go over an old collection of "imaginary" Superman stories from our childhood, and remember our favorite moments of the first 250 episodes. Also because we are dumb we thought it was 200 episodes at the time we recorded it, but as we explain in the cold open it really truly is 250, and yes

Hall of Milksops - JLA 16,17,22,23 - Prometheus, Sandman

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/09/27

Two relatively "simple" stories are up next for the Grant Morrison JLA run. First we get new supervillain Prometheus -- a sort of anti-batman, whose criminal parents were gunned down by police -- invading the JLA headquarters. He makes quick work of the JLA before suddenly becoming stupid and then losing immediately. Then we have a two part story where the Lord of Dreams, Sandman, needs help from the JLA to stop the world from falling asleep! You think he'd like that. We also read some email before

Hall of Milksops - JLA #10-15 - "Rock of Ages"

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/09/20

Plot complexity level: you have been MORRISSONED. The issues remain extremely fun but the story becomes very hard to summarize. Unless you keep it simple like this: Lex Luthor finds a magic crystal to destroy the JLA, but instead lets an alien enslave Earth, until the good guys use time travel to undo everything. Except add in: hard light holograms, New Gods technology so advanced it ruins your mind, cosmic beings at the edge of the universe waiting for the battle at the end of time, Future Batman

Hall of Milksops 2 - JLA #5-9, Secret Files #1

2023/09/13

We're gonna rock down to... electric Superman?!!! Yes, Electric Superman has entered the chat. So has Tomorrow Girl, a few angels from Actual Heaven, Connor Hawke (son of original Green Arrow) and Starro. We cover a lot in this segment! We talk about how Superman is still Superman, even with new powers. We talk about how the "Green Arrow vs Overpowered Villain" story is still good in its own right even though it seems pretty similar to a classic Superman tale. And we talk just about how much we are

Hall of Milksops - JLA #1-4

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/09/06

Sometimes when you read superhero comics you want Actual Superheros doing Actual Superhero things. That's what you get in Grant Morrisson's 1990s JLA run. Extraordinarily powered beings battling the highest stakes villains. Creative uses of physically impossible abilities. The triumph of good over evil. And Superman being a great Superman. We cover the first 4 issues they wrote, the "Hyperclan" arc. Kevin gives us an overview of DC comics at this time (1996). Then Will re-caps all four issues, a

Cosmic Rays + Correspondence 14 - FF 268

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/08/23

Dr. Doom is on the loose! Wait, no, actually it's just his mask. But still! It's a fearsome powerful mask! We also talk about Spider-Man: Blue (which Will just read). In our mailbag, we do another quiz from Keith! We also get emails about Superhero Movie Fatigue, Epic Collections and our fantasy FF Movie.+ __ SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ScrewItComics@gmail.com

Cosmic Rays + Correspondence 14 - FF 267

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/08/16

The Milksops review a tragic event in the lives of the FF. How did we feel about it when this issue came out? How about now? Is She-Hulk gonna get to do anything? We also get a collection of the greatest scientists in the Marvel Universe (Reed, Banner, Morbius and.... Sasquatch) who decide that what they need is... another scientist. Can Dr. Michael Morbius look any weirder? We dig into the mail, where we have more pitches for segment names, more suggestions of who would be on Mt. Comicsmore! __

Cosmic Rays + Correspondence 13 - FF 265

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/08/09

The Milksops discuss the issue where it's announced that She-Hulk has replaced The Thing in the FF! A momentous occasion, that is barely explained in this issue. Instead, we spend much of the issue on a very fun story where the Trapster fails to infiltrate The Baxter Building. Yes, it is fun! The Milksops also start to catch up on their mountain of mail. We get lots of proposed names for segments, and also the question: what do you think when someone says they are a "Marvel fan" or a "DC fan?" __

Catwoman #20-24: Wild Ride

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/08/02

Our final Catwoman arc is a happy one. Selina and Holly heal their hearts by hitting the road and taking a tour of the DC universe. We visit: Wildcat, Captain Cold, Starman (kinda), Hawkman and make a phone call to a Flash! All while a mysterious band of middle eastern robbers chase Selina in a storyline that we do not continue!

Catwoman #17-19: No Easy Way Down

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/07/26

We cover "No Easy Way Down," an emotional and creative high point for this series. After the traumatic events of "Relentless" three three issues show us Selina, Holly and Slam all dealing with their feelings. The action is moved into the background as we hear the characters thoughts, see their dreams, and feel their pain! It's an incredible trio of books and a must read for anyone who likes good comics! Plus Will talks about the Barbie movie and we even answer a few pieces of mail. __ SHOW

2023/07/19

We go over a dark, moving arc in the Brubaker Catwoman run: "Relentless." Selina learns that she can't buy redemption. We learn that the Black Mask is a creative psychopath. But Slam gets a happy ending, sort of, maybe? __ SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ScrewItComics@gmail.com Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠

2023/07/05

The Milksops actually talk about Catwoman comics as they get into the second arc of the regular monthly Brubaker-penned series. It's called "Disguises" and it's about Selina protecting Holly, after the latter uncovers a ring of dirty Gotham cops. Corruption? In Gotham City? Unheard of, we know. We got Slam Bradley back, we got new good Gotham cops in addition to all the lousy ones and we have Selina / Catwoman back in full action. We also go over Secret Invastion and (for some reason) David

Across The Spiderverse discussion / RIP John Romita Sr.

2023/06/28

The Milksops discuss two Spider-Man related events: 1) the passing of John Romita Sr., one of the best and most important Marvel artists in the company's history, (he took over drawing Spidey after co-creator Steve Ditko left), and 2) the recently released "Across The Spider-Verse," a worthy and terrific sequel in the Miles Morales animated franchise. __ SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email:

2023/06/21

We go over the first arc in the Ed Brubaker Catwoman series. Guess what: it's good! We've got: Darwyn Cooke art, film noir aesthetics, questions of good versus evil, a for-real supervillain, a little Batman which all adds up to a great story. __ SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ScrewItComics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ScrewItComics@gmail.com Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠

One-Shot: Comic Shop Shelf Appeal with Casey Bruce

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/06/14

In this "one shot" episode (a name I just made up where we examine a topic separate from our current season) we take a break from Catwoman to discuss the topic of "shelf appeal." This means roughly the way comics look on the shelves of comic shops. We bring on former guest Casey Bruce, co-owner of Danger Room comics in Olympia, Washington to talk about the challenges facing shop owners when it comes to making their product look appealing to customers. There's packaging, what editions are available,

Selina's Big Score

Screw It, We"re Just Gonna Talk About Comics ·

2023/06/07

We cover one of the all-time great comic book stories: Selina's Big Score. Written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke, this story is a masterpiece of crime fiction, active storytelling, redefining a classic character all with some of the prettiest art you could hope to see. There's echoes of crime fiction author Richard Stark in here (there's a character named after him), but also reminders of classic 1980s superhero crime stories by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and David Mazzuchelli. Truly a pleasure to read
