Because life happens, I don't have the planned episode ready to go. So here's a bit of a fallback plan I've had for when this eventually happened. I take this episode to go over what's coming on the horizon so folks aren't hoping for me to review something that I don't have and am not planning to get to.

Council of Geeks Podcast Feed ·

2016/02/10

Can Wolverine break the X-Men related comic books' streak of convictions? Is it possible to start piecing together Logan's history without spoiling what makes him enjoyable?

2015/12/16

The time has come to take on the first appearance of another icon of the 90s comics: the Spider-Man villain known as Carnage. This spin-off character, derived from the popular villain Venom, was over the top, violent without reason and snarky as all get out. In other words he was pure 90s. Host Nathaniel Wayne looks at this character's debut story arc, and hopes that Carnage can turn out to be better than his reputation.

Host Nathaniel Wayne tackles a two issue mini-series starring the one time Schwarzenegger tormentor: The Predator. Will it slay the competition or will the hunter become the hunted?... Oh god, that was terrible.

Council of Geeks Podcast Feed ·

2015/11/18

Every comic book line up needs an on the street style superhero. Marvel has Daredevil, DC has Batman (or more accurately the Bat Family because the Man himself is just as likely to be in space,) and Image put in their two cents with Shadowhawk. Host Nathaniel Wayne takes a look at the first two issues of Jim Valentino's creation and sees if it's worthy of the company it's seeking or if it slips and breaks its own spine.

90s Comics Retrial Episode 5: Web of Spider-Man #109

Council of Geeks Podcast Feed ·

2015/11/11

This stand alone issue of Web of Spider-Man tries to give a new spin on the Shocker. However it's so insecure about its story that it splits the cover between that and the prologue for the next issue, and throws in a more EXTREME hero than Spidey for good measure. Host Nathaniel Wayne brings along Sean McFeeley for this one.

2015/10/28

If there is a phrase to encapsulate the 1990s when it comes to comic books, that phrase would probably be "over the top." However there were few character who embraced and ran with that notion with as much brazen abandon as DC's Lobo. The interstellar bounty hunter with a bad attitude received a special #0 issue as part of DC's Zero Hour event and host Nathaniel Wayne brought along guest Paul Scavitto to help take a look at this one of a kind character.
