Nightmares on Elm Street #1 with Bobby Trippett

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/06/13

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Bobby Trippett (from the GRINDBIN PODCAST) have been where the river ran and avoided drownin' in a sunless sea in order to discuss 1991's NIGHTMARES ON ELM STREET #1. Is this episode about the man of our dreams Freddy Krueger? Yes it is. Eventually. First Matt gets very personal and tells the story of when he first met his wife and why the date June 13th holds a special place in his heart. It's a sweet story that has all of the necessary ingredients

The Night Man vs. Wolverine #0 with A. Lee Martinez

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/06/10

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host A. Lee Martinez (author of MONSTER, CHASING THE MOON, GIL'S ALL FRIGHT DINER, and more!) get trapped in a Murderworld/sewer/abandoned funhouse and decide that the only way out is to talk about 1995's THE NIGHT MAN VS. WOLVERINE #0. Yes, your eyes and ears are not deceiving you, Night Man (or, "The Night Man" as he's apparently called - Matt refuses to accept this because he's always known Johnny Domino as Nightman) is actually here and he's

Wildthing #1 with Ian Anderson

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/06/04

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Ian Anderson flunk out of Arcade Officer Academy for not knowing how to handle a "hot program" - which is something they would've learned if they weren't too busy talking about 1993's WILDTHING #1. Who is Nikki Doyle? Is she the titular Wildthing? These are questions that will (possibly) be answered, but first Matt decides to share his aspirations of becoming his neighborhood's resident Doctor Doolittle and then mixes up the Pet Shop Boys

Waterworld: Children of Leviathan #1 with Sebastian...

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/05/27

On this episode Matt and special guest mariner Sebastian O'Brien (host of TENTPOLE TRAUMA) worry that they'll never find dry land without a helpful map/back tattoo of an arrow pointing up, so they bide their time on the trimaran by discussing 1997's WATERWORLD: CHILDREN OF LEVIATHAN #1. It needs to be said right up front, Sebastian is a big WATERWORLD fan - so if you've come here looking for non-stop dunking (nailed it!) on the movie then you might as well swim along to another podcast that is more

The New Guardians #1 with Daniel G. Wilson

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/05/19

On this super-sized episode Matt and special guest co-host Daniel G. Wilson try to figure out what the heck those little blue guys on Oa were thinking as they discuss 1988's THE NEW GUARDIANS #1. Do you like comics that use racial and cultural stereotypes as superpowers? Well, then you are in luck... ...Matt, on the other hand, clumsily tries to navigate the landmines he set for himself because he's the one who chose the comic. Ever the good sport, Daniel brings a high level of thoughtfulness,

The Comet #1 and Legend of the Shield #1 with Pat Casey

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/05/13

On this episode Matt and returning guest co-host Pat Casey (screenwriter of VIOLENT NIGHT 1 & 2) strive to make an impression as they discuss the consequence of the launch of the Impact Universe with 1991's THE COMET #1 and LEGEND OF THE SHIELD #1. (Matt tried to use synonyms of "impact" and it made him sound like AI. Never one to miss an opportunity to take the wrong lesson from something, Matt is now suspicious of synonyms) Both Pat and Matt have a lot of fondness for the Impact Universe,

Adventures of Superman #500 with Jerry Ordway

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/05/08

On this episode Matt and guest co-host David Walton welcome the legendary Jerry Ordway to the show! Normally, these descriptions are full of (hopefully) amusing teases of what is talked about in the episode -- but in this case all you need to know is that THE Jerry Ordway is here on DOES THIS COME IN CHROMIUM for almost three hours. If that's not enough to motivate you to press play right now, go read any of Jerry's comics and then come back here. For those of you that just went and read a comic by

Force Works #1 with Kevin Freeman

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/05/05

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Kevin Freeman (host of DOC'S COMICS and writer of SUBCULTURE) follow the holo-cursor to the com-center where they discuss 1994's FORCE WORKS #1. Probably most known for its cumbersome (but cool) fold-out cover and its unceremonious killing of Wonder Man, Force Works was pitched to audiences as a more relevant and proactive Avengers. A team that would stop problems before they started. It's an interesting premise, but was it executed well? The short

X-O Manowar #0 with Eric Shonborn

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/05/01

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Eric Shonborn get imprisoned in space by some Hard-Skins and decide to pass the time by talking about 1993's X-O MANOWAR #0. Like any proper episode of Does This Come in Chromium, Matt derails the conversation immediately by analyzing Manowar lyrics. Then, lest you think the episode gets back on track, Matt and Eric spend almost forty minutes discussing their love of Ted Kord as Blue Beetle. After that, the conversation about X-O Manowar

WildC.A.T.s #2 with Glitch

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/04/29

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Glitch delay rocking the vote in order to discuss 1992's WILDC.A.T.S #2. If you take away anything from this episode, it should be the knowledge that the WildC.A.T.s are most assuredly NOT the X-Men. Nor are they Cyberforce (also not the X-Men). Now WildC.A.T.s and Cyberforce do have something in common - very dull, bland leaders (okay...maybe they are the X-Men). Spartan and Heatwave are boring (so it should be no surprise that they are

Guy Gardner: Warrior #29 with Mike Thompson

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/04/22

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Mike Thompson (co-host of TEN CENT TAKES) wait nervously in line, desperately hoping they are on the VIP list for the grand opening of Warriors. The line is long, so to pass the time they discuss 1994's GUY GARDNER: WARRIOR #29. This issue is a true celebration of where DC Comics was in the early-90's -- there was nary a (Dark)star in the sky as they were all here at Warriors. Gunfire! Ballistic! Wonder Woman (Artemis)! Lady Blackhawk! Damage! Rocket

Justice League America #86-88 "Cult of the Machine"...

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/04/19

On this episode Matt is joined by his "chromeboys" (tm) Ian Springer (screenwriter of FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS) and David Walton (FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING) to order an almost giant birthday cake and argue about proper birthday party protocol while also discussing 1994's JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #'s 86-88 "Cult of the Machine". Matt intended to spring a devious trap on Ian and David by making them read this story, but they escaped unscathed and with their dignity intact. Whereas Matt's brain broke.

Transformers Generation 2 #1 with Ian Anderson

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/04/15

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Ian Anderson travel to a dead planet in the butt end of the galaxy in order to talk about 1993's TRANSFORMERS GENERATION 2 #1. Ian recounts his earliest days on the information superhighway visiting Alt.Toys.Transformers, his love for both Galvatron, why BEAST WARS is still amazing, and how Transformers can be considered "gateway body horror". While Matt tries to become a more professional podcaster and (mostly) refrains from talking about

James Bond: Permission To Die #1 with Eric Hutchins...

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/04/05

On the extra special BONUS episode, Matt brings his longtime best friend Eric Hutchins together with his newest friend Dash for their first ever conversation - which, in true Does This Come in Chromium fashion, was SUPPOSED to be about 1989's JAMES BOND: PERMISSION TO DIE #1 (written and illustrated by comics legend MIKE GRELL!)... ...but it ends up being about pretty much the entire James Bond franchise. And that while Eric and Matt were seeing GOLDENEYE in the theater, Dash was literally an

Hawkman #1 with Tim Board

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/04/03

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Tim Board (webmaster of hawkworld.org) walk the mean streets of Chicago's Netherworld neighborhood while discussing 1993's HAWKMAN #1. Tim has been a fan of Hawkman ever since 1977 when he saw a drawing by the great Neal Adams and has devoted countless hours celebrating all things Thanagarian -- so of course Matt invited him on the show to talk about the new (?), mysterious (?), edgy (?) Hawkman that debuted (?) in 1993 in the comic with the shiny gold

Eclipso: The Darkness Within Part 1 of 4 with Al Sedano

2026/03/29

The DOES THIS COME IN CHROMIUM/THAT GIFFEN SHOW crossover extravaganza begins here! On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Al Sedano (host of THAT GIFFEN SHOW) participate in the grand comic book tradition of shameless crossovers by talking about 1992's ECLIPSO: THE DARKNESS WITHIN #1. Right away Matt makes it clear that ECLIPSO: THE DARKNESS WITHIN is his all-time favorite annual crossover event (sorry BLOODLINES), while Al explains the differences between DC's and Marvel's annual

Robocop Versus The Terminator #1 with Bobby Trippett

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/03/24

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Bobby Trippett (host of the GRINDBIN PODCAST) rebuild themselves as ChromiumCops in order to discuss 1992's ROBOCOP VERSUS THE TERMINATOR #1. The first thing you need to know is that, while he's a self-professed man of many obsessions, Bobby loves ROBOCOP (1987) more than anyone else on this planet. It's just a fact. There's no point in arguing it. It would be helpful if right here it could be said that Matt loves THE TERMINATOR (1984) more than

Kraven the Hunter and Beyond the Reach of Enchantment...

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/03/20

On this episode Matt has the honor of sitting down with Ingi (lead guitar) and Atli (lead vocals) of the Icelandic power metal band POWER PALADIN to talk about their incredible new album, "Beyond the Reach of Enchantment" (pre-order info below) and the song from 2022 that put them on the map, "Kraven the Hunter". Of course, since this is an episode of Does This Come in Chromium, the conversation does not stick to just the topics at hand, but also goes into Power Paladin's origins, anti-viking

Incredible Hulk #400 with Ian Anderson

2026/03/17

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Ian Anderson send the old wizard calling on the bathroom mirror straight to voicemail so they can talk amongst themselves about 1992's INCREDIBLE HULK #400. Right off the bat, it's established that Matt is not Ian's dad. With that out of the way, Ian does an amazing...no, wait -- an INCREDIBLE job explaining the Hulk and his supporting cast (including the Pantheon) to Matt, who spends most of the episode wondering if he would look cool in purple

G.I. Joe and Cold Slither with Gus Rios

Does This Come In Chromium? ·

2026/03/12

On this episode Matt sits down with musician and lifelong G.I. Joe fan Gus Rios. After proving himself as a talented and hard working drummer in the death metal scene with bands like Malevolent Creation and Gruesome, Gus got the phone call that would bring his passion for both music and G.I. Joe together to create Cold Slither. Well, to create the REAL Cold Slither. The band, lead by the villainous Zartan, already existed in animated form - and now Gus was going to make them flesh and blood. If
