Booked #41 - A Weird Place in Pop Culture

Stevil and Rob Lobster welcome you to another episode of Booked! We start off in the realm of TV, where we give some love to our co-host Katie Findlay on the massively successful debut of her new show How To Get Away With Murder. Then we move into some of the comic related debuts of the week.
 
Is Gotham a little too heavy handed on the references? Do we wish it was just a straight forward Gotham Central adaptation? Our hosts also ask listeners to give it a little faith past the pilot, because when has a show ever been decided by it's pilot? Also on the TNT network, a Teen Titans series has gotten the green light with Nightwing being the rumored leader. What can we expect from this? Stevil is really hoping for Cassie Sandmark.
 
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also started their sophomore season, starting with a quick peek at Agent Carter. What can we expect from this prequel series? We will watch it all day if it has Dum Dum Duggan! And at the same time, can Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continue the momentum it gained in the last part of it's first season? Bring on Mockingbird!
 
With so much to talk about in the TV world, Stevil and Rob get into the hype on the Tick revival at Amazon, the new Supergirl series, and whether or not Ollie Queen is a smart enough adversary for Ra's Al Ghul. We also talk the sad news of the Y the Last Man movie being dead in the water. Will we ever see Yorrick's story on the big screen? Is it better suited as a TV series?
 
Delving into some really comic talk, our hosts talk DC's big event Future's End. What were the high points? What are the lasting ramifications of this? Addressing the rumors that all the worlds will collide, Rob has worries that the proper respect may or may not be given to fan revered timelines. Words of wisdom are also given to the Batgirl creative team: Let's move on with less James Gordon Jr. for a bit.
 
Finally, a loving review of a book Stevil brought to the last cast as his recommendation. Rob has finally picked up his copy of Bryan Lee O'Malley's Seconds and blew through it in four hours. This means the guys can discuss it at length, as it definitely hits home for both of them. For Rob, it bring the looming reality of his thirtieth birthday that much closer and Stevil, well, dealing with exes usually sucks, we can all relate to that, right?
 
So join us for some deeply nerdy comic talk and let us know what you think in the comics below. Did you pick up Seconds? Or hate Gotham? What should be done with Y the Last Man? Think about it and keep reading those panels people!
