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 invading force of invisible reptilian aliens will endear him to us. Probably not but an alien’s gotta

Century 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.

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.

Can they save the town or will a psychotic child (?) in a Boy Scout uniform prove victorious? *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:12:19 *** All this plus super-beings outfit-shaming each other, a sword that makes you sleepy and why the Mandalorian is such a dim fellow.

2024/08/09

Shadowpact #1 (2006)Shadowpact is a group of paranormal-flavored heroes investigating paranormal-flavored villains and calamities. I was going to make a sly comment and say they are “Justice League Dark with a recovering alcoholic monkey” but Detective Chimp kicks it both groups so I’ll just go kick rocks. Join us as a dome of blood envelopes a Wyoming town like a Stephen King novel. Phantom Stranger proves to be useless as do Superman and Green Lantern but that’s ok because Ragman and

Secret Defenders #17 (1994)We wrap our short duology of Deadpool stories as we cover the conclusion of his team-up with Doctor Druid, Luke Cage, Shadowoman and the hip new hero Cadaver. The Secret crew seeks to stop the maniacal Malachi from whizzing all over the time-stream just to resurrect her ambivalent lover. All this at the cost of turning kindergarteners into early on-set Adam Sandlers and robbing Seattle of corn. Things get even worse when the malevolent (not Doctor) Strange shows up to

Here, our favorite Merc with a Mouth joins up with the Secret Defenders - Doctor Strange’s (and eventually Doctor Druid’s) crew of randomly aligned heroes.

Daredevil #164 (1980)We’ve reached the end of this Daredevil “Marked For Death” storyline and it doesn’t appear that we’ve gotten anywhere. All we get here is a DD origin story - which is nice - but what does it have to do with him being targeted? Anyway, Daredevil shares his life story including tales about his school bully John Cena, how he became a pretzel snob and the time he watched his dad box Morgan Freeman. Also, Ben Urich smokes in a hospital! *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION

Daredevil #163 (1979)The Hulk rolls into town as we carry on with Daredevil not being so much “marked for death” as he is “marked for some really bad publicity” as Ben Urich closes in on his identity. Not only that, but DD has to deal with Bruce Banner spiking his fine china like a football, Foggy telling dirty jokes to priests and disco dudes sweeping up his ex-girlfriends. It will all be well if you just keep your cool on the subway and don’t let Mean Gene Okerlund put out his cigar on your

Natasha and her Lionel Richie Daredevil bust are besieged by Bullseye and his hairbrush throwing skills. To get her back, Matt has to hit the streets, grab a towel from the Daily Bugle and do some ballet in a seedy establishment.

Daredevil #159 (1979)It’s been a minute since we’ve tackled Ol’ Hornhead so let’s check out the DAREDEVIL: MARKED FOR DEATH trade paperback! It is not a “proper” or “official” Daredevil storyline but it does share the same name as a pretty good Steven Segal movie, so that’s cool. Join us as we discuss Daredevil hitting some sick tricks with his billy club, vengeful city judges, Frank Miller art and Bullseye breaking necks with life preservers. Also, we offer our deepest condolences to Foggy

Join us as we discuss how Batman escapes a watery grave with a twin-size bed, a weight set and 80lbs of Cliff Bars. Also, we talk about Alfred’s sadly unrealized career as a voice-over artist and cast the DC Comics version of Stephen King’s THE SHINING. *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:14:38 *** All this plus we discuss the new trailer for VENOM: THE

It’s going to be wild though because juiced-up men in jumpsuits (Nailz?) are under hypnosis to murder the island inhabitants, pop their heads and disintegrate their necks. Batman and Alfred seek to intervene Alfred get abducted, dangled from a helicopter and strung up for shark bait. It is up to Batman to get partially nude, sacrifice some

Batman has been tasked with compromising Det. Gordon to a permanent end in order to get his next fix of Venom. He can’t do it though and decides to push a different older man to the ground instead. Concluding its time to get clean, Bats locks himself in the Batcave for a full month with no toiletries and possibly no toilet. Over in Santa Prisca, the doctor and the general carve the tall teenager from last week and make into some weird Abobo-looking guy, I don’t know. All this plus we talk about

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #17 (1991) Let’s keep going with the “Venom” storyline here as Batman spirals deeper and deeper into the acrimonious abyss of substance abuse and addiction. Bats is out in the streets — dressed like The Question for some reason — pummeling thugs for intel so hard he (and we) forget why he’s doing it. We also bear witness to Batman expertly throwing a refrigerator at some crooks. It all boils down to super soldiers, orchestrated killings and one really tall
