Joshua Williamson's Flash Volume 13 to Volume 15
September 01, 2023 02:31 - 44 minutes - 19.9 MBApologies for the delayed release. Baby Dpalm came a bit early and so we've been on a little hiatus Thankfully we recorded the final episode in our Flash series earlier in the month. So without further ado, the finale of the Joshua Williamson run. We end this run as any good Flash run should with a finale showdown between Barry and Eobard. Throughout the 15 volumes, we got a really good reintroduction of Barry Allen that paid homage to the entire Flash legacy. We get the return and reunion of...
Joshua Williamson’s Flash Volumes Year One & Volume 12
July 30, 2023 23:03 - 42 minutes - 19.3 MBWe know last episodes we covered Year One but we decided to revisit that volume as well as volume 12 of the Williamson run of The Flash. Year One was worth a revisit because it not only reestablishes some of the lost history of Barry Allen but also starts off a new one as well (Barry meeting not only Wally but Wallace at the same time). It also takes a villain that we didn't think twice about and make him terrifying. Who would think the Turtle would be so scary? Then we get a return of Hunter...
Joshua Williamson’s Flash Volumes 10, 11 & Year One
June 10, 2023 07:58 - 52 minutes - 23.3 MBWe delayed the release of this episode until Kriss was out of town. We also timed it right around the time the Flash review dropped. Enjoy. Post Flash War, Barry turns back into a student and has to go through a bit of a re-education phase. This fits right in with the Joshua Williamson theme of taking Barry Allen on a journey we really haven't seen him in before. A lot of this feels familiar to those of us who grew up with Wally West as our Flash because we watched him go through the same jo...
Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 7 - 9 - Character Corner #111
May 23, 2023 00:46 - 52 minutes - 23.5 MBWe're back with more of Joshua Williamson's Flash run. This time we're talking volumes 7 to 9 (issues 39 to 57). Williamson's run really feels like a great jumping on point for the Flash. Since it's during Rebirth, it gives us a great reintroduction of not only Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne but also Wally West. This part of the run felt like Williamson telling all of us that grew up with Wally as our Flash that his years as the Flash mattered. And while this series is centered on Barry, it fe...
Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 4 to 6 - Character Corner #110
March 31, 2023 22:53 - 54 minutes - 25.2 MBWe promised 2 episodes in March and we're squeezing it right in there at the 11th hour. But we're back for the next set of issues from the Joshua Williamson Flash run. We first stop over at Batman and pick up with The Button which takes us closer to understanding the forces behind all the lost time and history in the DC Universe. But it also reminds us that Eobard Thawne is the epitome of evil. The way he beats Bruce's ass in the Batcave is a good reminder that speed beats prep time. It's not...
Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 1 - 3 - Character Corner #109
March 25, 2023 21:21 - 50 minutes - 22.4 MBWe finally get back into recording Character Corners and it still takes me 2 weeks to release the episode. Smh. Sorry for the delay folks but we're finally hitting the Joshua Williamson run of The Flash. We consider this the reintroduction of Barry Allen. Sure in 2009 Geoff Johns did a "rebirth" of Barry Allen, having him finally return to the mantle after being dead for so long. But this run during DC's rebirth really gets Barry back to the basics. Anyone that's read this run knows it comes ...
She-Hulk Attorney at Law - Character Corner #108
October 28, 2022 10:42 - 51 minutes - 23 MBNow that the first season of the She-Hulk series on Disney+ is over, now is a great time to talk about She-Hulks comic book history. The timing has nothing to do with the fact that Kriss is late on releasing this episode because work has completely swamped him. Nope, this timing is completely planned. Anyway, after seeing some of the confused reactions to the Disney+ show, it actually is a pretty good time to remind folks just who Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk is and how writers have tackle...
Dick Grayson/Nightwing
August 25, 2022 11:58 - 57 minutes - 25.3 MBKriss and Dpalm are back and this time we're revisiting a character we've spent some time talking about before: Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. We've covered Dick before in our previous Robin Part 1 Character Corner that covered Dick Grayson's years as the first Robin along with Jason Todd. This episode we're spending some time talking about his years after he put up the Robin suit and became Nightwing. Much like his best friend Wally West, Dick Grayson is one of those characters that started of...
SDCC 2022 Announcements & Trailers
July 28, 2022 11:03 - 1 hour - 35.8 MBLife has gotten really busy for Kriss and Dpalm so the regular Character Corner schedule has been a bit hectic these last few months. But thankfully Marvel has swooped in for a rescue by announcing a bunch of things for their next few phases of movies so that gives us a lot to talk about. In this episode we'll talk about some of the trailers and announcements made for movies and TV shows coming out of SDCC. Not all of them involve Marvel and DC. We got the first teaser for the new John Wick ...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 10: Secret Wars - Character Corner #106
June 14, 2022 01:02 - 51 minutes - 22.8 MBWe wrap up our Avengers part of our Hickman series with the 9-issue Secret Wars event that sees Hickman rebuild the Marvel Universe first in Doom's vision then from Reed's. Secret Wars is one of those events where you don't have to read all the related non-Hickman written issues to understand the story but you want to. It's a good cap to the end of the story Hickman has been telling not only from Avengers but all the way back to SHIELD. Also, just like in Time Runs Out you start to see where ...
Interview: Nubia and the Amazons feat. Stephanie Williams
June 08, 2022 23:25 - 43 minutes - 19.5 MBStephanie Williams is a comic book historian and pop culture critic who has written for SYFYFANGRRLS, The A.V. Club, Nerdist, Den of Geek, and Rotten Tomatoes. Stephanie is also a comic creator with three ongoing webcomics, Parenthood Activate!, But What If Though?, and Living Heroes. She made her Marvel debut with a short story featuring Monica Rambeau in Marvel’s Voices: Legacy. She recently made her DC Comics debut in Wonder Woman Black and Gold #2 and is co-writing the Nubia and the Amazo...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 9: Time Runs Out
May 20, 2022 13:40 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBWith the mention of the word "Incursions" in Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness its timely for us to reach the "Time Runs Out" portion of our Into the Hickmanverse series. This is the lead up to Secret Wars and its basically Hickman destroying the Marvel Universe. All of it. Time Runs Out is actually jarring at first because there is an 8 month story gap. The Avengers have split. The Illuminati is on the run with new members. The Captain Britain Corp has been wiped out. The Cabal is ...
Moon Knight - The Fist of Khonshu
April 27, 2022 01:09 - 1 hour - 38.1 MBWe're back with another Character Corner episode and this time we're talking about the character Moon Knight. Or should we say the characters Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley. Moon Knight is an interesting character to cover. First appearing in 1975 in Werewolf By Night, its pretty clear that early Moon Knight was Marvel's answer to DC's Batman. There's so many obvious comparisons. Early on in Moon Knight stories, Marc Spector wasn't suffering from mental illness. Rather his three perso...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 8: Avengers & New Avengers Part 3
March 31, 2022 10:28 - 54 minutes - 24.3 MBWe're getting closer to the end of out Hickman Marvel series and things are starting to fall apart for everyone. In the two series we watch as Steve not only remembers what the Illuminati did to him but also becomes hardened in his decision that they are wrong and must be stopped. On the New Avengers side, we watch as the Illuminati becomes even more broken. T'Challa, Namor and Black Bolt are all Kings without Kingdoms. Dr. Strange has sacrificed everything. Reed has pretty much given up his ...
Legion of Super-Heroes Part 2 - Reboots and More Reboots
March 16, 2022 10:56 - 1 hour - 39.1 MBReboots are a thing that happens all the time in comic books. But there are reboots and retcons and then there's what DC Comics did with the Legion of Super-Heroes. I take back what I said during part 1. The Legion of Super-Heroes might have the most complex and complicated history in DC. Yes that's over Wonder Woman and the Hawks. See, with the Legion, you take the confusion and complicated histories of Wonder Woman and Hawkman. Add in the time traveling of ALL the Flash characters. Sprinkle...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 7: Avengers Part 2 - Infinity
February 25, 2022 22:36 - 1 hour - 29.4 MBWe're back for Part 7 of our Into the Hickmanverse series as we got through the world in Marvel that Hickman has built. After looking at what we have remaining, there will be 11 total parts. We'll get the way through Secret Wars with Part 10 and for Part 11 we'll talk about the new age of X-Men that Hickman has ushered in. Before that though, things are starting to heat up in Hickman's Avengers story with the Infinity Crossover. There are three main stories here and they’re all connected. ...
The Legion of Super-Heroes Part 1: The Great Darkness Saga
February 01, 2022 03:37 - 1 hour - 26.8 MBSo for the 100th episode of the Character Corner, Kriss & Dpalm are finally back on the DC side and we decided we didn't want to make it easy on ourselves and so we’re tackling the Legion of Super-Heroes. The the history of the Legion of Super-Heroes is one that rivals Wonder Woman, Donna Troy and Hawkman as having some oof the most convoluted and rebooted/retconned history on the DC side. There are several reasons for why the history of the Legion is so hard to pin down. Part of that is like...
Pull List: So Many Comics, So Little Time - Character Corner #99
January 17, 2022 23:52 - 1 hour - 35.4 MBFirst Character Corner episode of 2022 and it's a Pull List. There are a lot of comics for Kriss and Dpalm to talk about. The biggest problem? There are so many great and good comics out right now. It's really hard to keep up. Of course this is a good problem to have (unless you're on a budget). At this point with so many good books out there, the best thing to do right now is to not only follow titles but writers. On the DC Side, if you see that James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson and Tom Ta...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 6: Avengers & New Avengers Part 1
December 30, 2021 14:35 - 50 minutes - 22.7 MBWe're ending 2021 with the beginning of the end. We've started Hickman's epic Avengers/New Avengers run. This is one of our favorite runs. We've covered it several times from Comic Book Book Clubs on premium to when we cover individual characters like Black Panther, Iron Man, Captain America, etc. This time we're covering it from the perspective of looking at how Hickman sets up and builds out this really long story. If you read these books in their individual release date order and not by th...
Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu
November 30, 2021 03:11 - 53 minutes - 24.1 MBKriss and Dpalm are finally back with a new Character Corner episode. This time we're talking about the Marvel Master of Kung Fu himself, Shang-Chi. We decided to wait until after we talked about the movie before diving into this character and for good reason. See, there's really no nice way to say this but the history of Shang-Chi is pretty racist. From the inception of the character and tying him to the racist Fu Manchu character all the way to even more modern books with the character that...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 5: Ultimate Universe
November 01, 2021 02:03 - 57 minutes - 26.6 MBWe're back with part 5 of our Into the Hickmanverse series. This time Hickman teams up with Bendis again to dive into the Ultimate universe. But before we do that, we first have to address how we got here. Yes that means retelling the story (if you can call it that) of Ultimatum and how the Ultimate universe was left in shambles. We then cover Bendis' trilogy (Ultimate Enemy, Ultimate Mystery and Ultimate Doom) that casts the Ulimate Universe's Reed Richards as a villain. All of that sets t...
Into the Hickmanverse: Fantastic Four Part 2
October 22, 2021 19:27 - 47 minutes - 21.4 MBThe latest part of our Into the Hickmanverse series by wrapping up his Fantastic Four run. This covers both Fantastic Four and FF (Future Foundation). We kick everything off with the new series, FF as well as some new uniforms for Marvel's first family. Also, Spider-Man comes in to fill in the spot left by Johnny. Things really take off here. First on the list of things for the Future Foundation to do: Solve the issue of Doom's diminished intelligence. The next thing? Get some of the Fantasti...
Into the Hickmanverse: Fantastic Four Part 1
August 31, 2021 10:31 - 1 hour - 37.7 MBWe're finally back to our series covering Jonathan Hickman's Marvel runs. This time we're revisiting his great Fantastic Four run. We start first with the Dark Reign mini-series and then cover issues 570 to 588 in Fantastic Four. The great thing about reading a Hickman run is when you go back to read it and realize he's laid the groundwork for the next series he's going to write. Throughout the beginning of his FF run we see the seeds of what Hickman will do when he starts his Avengers run. ...
Black Widow - Natasha Romanoff
August 22, 2021 15:50 - 1 hour - 39.1 MBWe're back with another Character Corner, this time to talk about Natalia Romanova aka Natasha Romanoff aka The Black Widow. On the surface this seems like a pretty straight forward character. A former Russian spy who was trained to be a femme fatale in a secret Soviet program that was recruited and turned into an ally by Nick Fury. But there ini a lot more to the character. First, Black Widow is yet another example of a Marvel character that has a redemption arc. Like Hawkeye, Vision and Sca...
Fireworks - Pull List # 9
August 02, 2021 13:13 - 1 hour - 37.2 MBWe're finally back with a new Pull List and there's a lot to talk about. We're really in the new Golden Age of comics. The biggest problem is there are just too many good books to read. The X-Men & X-Men related books alone are worth their weight in gold. Seriously guys...we're terraforming planets and claiming them for mutants now? Also Mystique is gonna burn everything down. Everything. But the X-Men books aren't the only good thing out right now. DC is doing very well moving on with the ne...
Invincible Volumes 21 to 25 - Comic Book Book Club
July 13, 2021 10:18 - 54 minutes - 24.2 MBAll good things must come to an end and so it is with our read through the Invincible series. Now it's well known that even the best series have a hard time sticking the landing. How did Invincible do? Well...it stuck the landing. Kirkman really gives this series the ending it deserved and it felt like it came full circle and was completely earned. Of course it also comes with a lot of brutality and shocking deaths but we would have it now other way because...well...this is Invincible. This ...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 2: S.H.I.E.L.D
June 29, 2021 01:33 - 48 minutes - 21.8 MBNow the fun begins. Secret Warriors gave us a taste of what was in that crazy brain of Hickman. S.H.I.E.L.D. is where we really start to see things form. This is the series that will have readers going back to issue 25 of Secret Warriors to start piecing things together. It's also where the foundations for what Hickman does in his Fantastic Four run gets set. We not only get the foundation of SHIELD starting way back in ancient Egypt by Imhotep (with a young Apocalypse and Moon Knight) but e...
Into the Hickmanverse Part 1 - Secret Warriors: Wheels within Wheels
June 04, 2021 11:28 - 48 minutes - 21.6 MBSo it's time to dive into something really good. We're starting our "Into the Hickmanverse" series where we cover the major Marvel runs of Jonathan Hickman. Now if you've been a long time listener, then you'll know that we've not only talked about the works of Hickman a lot but we've also covered a lot of them already. But you're still not going to want to miss this series. First, while we've covered a lot of these stories already, it's really been all over the place. Some have been Character...
Invincible Volume 16 to 20
May 30, 2021 23:11 - 47 minutes - 21.4 MBSo we're getting close to the end of our Invincible Comic Book Book Club and it would be an understatement to say things have escalated. To be honest, things get so intense in these 5 volumes, I was so traumatized, I thought I had already released this episode. So apologies for the delay but we're finally back. So what happens in these 5 volumes? Oh nothing, just.... Allen decides to release the Scourge virus on Earth, knowing that it might kill all the humans on earth as well. Oliver agre...
Invincible Volume 11 to 15: Whole Lot of Problems
April 28, 2021 10:44 - 53 minutes - 24 MBOne of the biggest differences between the Invincible comic series and the Amazon Prime Video adaptation is the pace. The comic really doesn't give you a chance to catch your breath. And just to be clear, that works for the comic media. In these three volumes we get so much. From the "Invincible War" to Conquest to the Viltrumite War (and a bunch of stuff in between), these 5 volumes are jammed with problems for Mark. We get to see Mark struggling with not just being a hero but how. Mark has ...
Barry Allen and the Flash Family Part 2
April 13, 2021 10:25 - 1 hour - 27.2 MBWe're finally back with part 2 of our Barry Allen and the Flash family Character Corner series. We handle this episode a little different than our typical episodes. While we still bring up issues to read, we really focus on the discussion of the evolution of the Flash and the Flash family. Particularly under Mark Waid's run. His run is really what helped define the modern take on The Flash Family and the Speed Force. This run also serves as the bridge between all of the eras of the DC Univers...
Bald Headed Bastards - Pull List # 8
March 25, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 32.4 MBIt's the battle of the bald headed bastards (no not Kriss & Dpalm), Zordon and Professor Xavier. Who is more likely to put your kids in a dangerous, life threatening situation? We've determined they're both trash but at least Xavier will shoot you some money on the side after wiping your mind of the fact that you ever had kids. Anyway, we're back with another Pull List. There's plenty to talk about because well...there's just so many good comics to read. Kriss continues to catch up on the Pow...
Invincible Volumes 6 to 10 - Comic Book Book Club
March 07, 2021 14:09 - 46 minutes - 20.6 MBWe're back with the next 5 volumes of Invincible and cover volumes 6 through 10. Invincible is an interesting series because it's able to navigate accelerated storytelling with seeding things that don't pay off until volumes later. It's a good combination that both continually rewards the reader while also giving them something to look forward to. In these 5 volumes, Mark is really coming into his own as a hero. It's like a combination of Spider-Man and Superboy with all the real-world probl...
Barry Allen and the Flash Family Part 1
February 18, 2021 11:32 - 1 hour - 36.1 MBThis feels like a long time coming. It's actually quite amazing that it's taken us this long to cover Barry Allen. We're slowly making our way through the original seven members of the Justice League (Martian Manhunter is the only remaining member left and we'll cover him soon). There's a few reasons why it's taken us such a long time to cover the character that practically launched the Silver Age of comics. First, we're Wally West fans. There's a reason why Wally West was the second characte...
Invincible Volume 1 to 5 - Comic Book Book Club
February 02, 2021 19:38 - 45 minutes - 20.6 MBIs World Domination a father-son bonding activity? Kriss and Dpalm dive into Robert Kirkman's Invincible with the first five volumes. The first 5 volumes of this series are a great introduction to the world that Kirkman has set up. It's also a great example of how those that say they want a "dark", R-rated Justice League (looking at those lost SnyderCut stans), just need to pick up some creator owned books. Invincible starts off as basically "What if we took Superman, gave him a son and then ...
Scarlet Witch and Vision - Marvel's Odd Couple
January 17, 2021 01:33 - 1 hour - 34 MBFirst Character Corner of 2021 and we timed it to come out the same weekend that Marvel premieres its first Disney+ TV series: WandaVision. So, of course we had to tackle the Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch and her husband (ex-husband technically) Vision. These two characters actually have a pretty robust history and in the case of Wanda, have some pretty serious consequences in the Marvel Universe. The fallout from House of M significantly changed the status of mutants and led to some majo...
The Hickmanverse - Pull List # 7
December 31, 2020 19:29 - 1 hour - 30 MBWe're cutting it close but we're squeezing in a final Character Corner/Pull List episode of 2020. This has been a long, stressful year that's disrupted our normal schedule but we didn't want to close out the year without one more episode. Plus, despite everything going on, it's actually been a really great year for comics. There's good stuff all around. Kriss has finally jumped into the Power Rangers books that Dpalm recommended and he really has been enjoying reading them. On the DC side, S...
Miles Morales Brooklyn's Spider-Man
November 20, 2020 11:30 - 1 hour - 27.5 MBWith the release of the Miles Morales: Spider-Man game for Playstation 4 & 5, it's the perfect time to do a follow-up on Miles Morales. Back in 2015 we did a Character Corner on Miles (Listen here). Since then a lot has happened. Matter of fact, around the time of that episode, Miles was making the huge transition from the 1610 Ultimate Universe to the main 616 universe through Jonathan Hickman's Secret Wars. The result of Secret Wars saw big changes for Miles as not only did he make it over ...
It All Matters - Pull List #6
October 27, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 33.4 MBIt’s that time again…time for another episode of the Pull List one the Character Corner podcast. Kriss caught up on what Scott Snyder did on Justice League and is doing with his anti-Crisis Crisis, Dark Knight Death Metal and we have thoughts. Outside of the DC & Marvel super heroes, Power Rangers remains great and if you haven’t been reading the Star Wars books you’re really missing out. Seriously, you can’t call yourself a Star Wars fan and not be reading what’s happening in those books. T...
Superman Part 2 Beacon of Humanity
October 20, 2020 10:30 - 1 hour - 44.5 MBIt is good to be back. After taking an impromptu hiatus in September we're back with a new episode of the Character Corner. We're wrapping up our Superman series with Part 2. We pick up right where we left with the aftermath of the Death of Superman after his epic fight with Doomsday. Like the first episode, while we talk about issues and storylines, we also focus a lot on the themes around the character and what he means. A lot of the more modern Superman takes show a much more well-rounde...
Superman Part 1: It's a Bird, It's a Plane
August 31, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 44.8 MBWe're back with another Character Corner episode. This time we're diving into the first part of a two part series on the man himself, Superman. Created in 1938 by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, Superman is the first superhero and is the birth of the Golden Age. The first part of this series is going to focus more on the overall history and context of Superman and not really digging into the stories too much. Mainly because there’s so much. This is once again a Golden Age character and perhaps ...
Beware the Trees - Pull List #5
August 05, 2020 21:00 - 45 minutes - 20.3 MBCovid made the release of comics a little wonky. But we're finally getting back to a normal schedule so the Pull List is back. We actually have a lot of books to talk about. One thing we do ask though is...when the hell is Saga coming back? It's been almost two years since we got an issues and it really drives home the fact that when it comes to independent books, nothing is guaranteed...even if it's super popular. Outside of the big 2, Dpalm sings the praises once again of the Power Ranger ...
Nick Spencer Run Part 3 Secret Empire
July 15, 2020 10:50 - 59 minutes - 26.5 MBKriss, Dpalm and Justin wrap up their revisit of Nick Spencer's Captain America run with the Secret Empire tie-in issues for both Captain America books as well as the Secret Empire cross-over event itself. As with the Captain America solo books, we discuss how relevant and timely some of the things Spencer brings up are. From how evil Steve Rogers talks about Inhumans to how easy it is to get so many people onboard with fascism when they think it personally benefits them. Part 1 (Sam Wilso...
Captain America Part 2 The Other Captains
June 30, 2020 20:56 - 59 minutes - 27.5 MBNothing like squeezing in one more Character Corner episode at the 11th hour. Anyway, Kriss and Dpalm are back with Part 2 of their Captain America Character Corner. In the first episode we covered Steve Rogers and in this episode we cover all the other men that have held the Shield (Minus Sam since we covered Sam a few years ago). While Steve Rogers was a Golden Age Character that eventually made his way to the Silver Age in Avengers #4, Marvel had published some comics with Captain America...
Captain America Part 1 Steve Rogers
June 17, 2020 10:11 - 1 hour - 33.7 MBWe're back with a new episode of the Character Corner and this time we're covering the legend himself: Captain America Steve Rogers. This will actually be a two part episode with the second episode focusing on the other holders of the shield (Bucky, Sam, Isaiah and others). For this episode though, we wanted to focus on Steve Rogers and some of the key runs for the character and how much of a symbol he is for the Marvel Comic universe. For those that falsely claim that comics today are "too ...
The Incredible & Immortal Hulk - Character Corner #82
May 30, 2020 11:24 - 1 hour - 36 MBWe're finally back with a proper Character Corner. We get back to our roots with this episode. We're not doing Creator Spotlight runs or a Comic Book Book Club. No this time we're just going to take one character and tackle their history and we go for a big one: The Hulk. Created in May of 1962 (seriously, we didn't plan on doing this episode in May, it just happened), Bruce Banner/The Hulk is an interesting character from Marvel in that his first appearance is is own solo book (Incredible Hu...
Tom King's Batman Run: Breaking the Bat - Comic Book Book Club
April 28, 2020 10:28 - 1 hour - 30.3 MBApril has been a long year and so we're doing a bit of switching up. We were supposed to be doing a Hulk Character Corner this month but life was just so busy that didn't happen. We still wanted to put out a show for the fans though. So we decided to put part 3 of our Tom King Batman Run up for all listeners on the MTR Network. Part 1 and Part 2 are up on the Premium feed so sign up if you want to hear those. In Part 3 we cover volumes 7 through 9. That's The Wedding, Cold Days and The Tyra...
No New Comics - Pull List #4
April 07, 2020 00:15 - 51 minutes - 22.8 MB2020 has been a weird decade. Yes you read that right. We finally come back for a Pull List episode to discuss some of the comics we're reading only to record on April 1st and there be no new comics released for Marvel or DC due to a world wide pandemic. Yeah, not an April's Day joke. The good news is there are still a ton of comics to read and now is the perfect time to catch up on them. We catch up on The Flash, Superman, Legion of Super Heroes, Coates' Captain America and of course wha...
Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps Vol 4 - 7 - Comic Book Book Club
March 07, 2020 14:09 - 58 minutes - 26.5 MBOn this episode we wrap up our read of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps with the last 4 volumes. Volume 4 Fracture Volume 5 Twilight of the Guardians Volume 6 Zod's Will Volume 7 Darkstars Rising There are some really great moments in the remainder of this run. Last time we talked about how great Guy Gardner was and this time it's John Stewart. This run really shows how strategic Stewart is and what his leadership is like. Honestly in someways it's like if Batman was Black an...
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps Vol 1 - 3 - Comic Book Book Club
