December 08, 2013 19:03 - 27 minutes - 22.1 MBGuy Adams is a writer who will be reintroducing a little know character to readers in this week's 2000 AD Prog 2014. Back in 1987 maniac-for-hire Ulysses Sweet appeared in the pages of the weekly British comics anthology 2000 AD. He made three appearances, all written by a young Grant Morrison, and then promptly disappeared (we ran said strips here, here and here).

December 03, 2013 02:31 - 1 hour - 78.1 MBContinuing the Marvel streak, Mike and Greg launch into a discussion about the Claremont/Miller Wolverine mini-series, having just revisited the work for the first time in years.

It goes without saying that these four issues cemented in the eyes of an entire generation of readers what was cool about Wolverine, Marvel, and comics in general. But what unholy...

November 17, 2013 01:02 - 1 hour - 81.2 MBHaving not yet reached his breaking point, The Hour Cosmic’s Brian Salvatore returns to the show and, like any good guest, brings with him a gift. Lo, there shall come a topic! Jonathan Hickman’s run on The Fantastic Four: great comic magazine or The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine? Is it too soon to call for this series?

Episode 18: November Previews
November 14, 2013 01:40 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBThis week we flip (and click) through the latest issue of Previews to see what’s coming up in January that you should keep an eye out for. Considering the magnitude of such a task, we asked The Hour Cosmic’s Brian Salvatore to stay a while and give us a hand. But before that, we run Brian through a gauntlet of questions about his own podcast and Multiversity Comics in general, as this is the first time we’ve actually had, on the show, a representative of the website we recommend week in an...

November 07, 2013 14:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBRounding out our coverage of New York Comic Con 2013 is this trio of interviews with Tony Fleecs, Corrina Bechko, and Gabriel Hardman.

October 30, 2013 23:56 - 1 hour - 34.9 MBA podcasting first: this episode debuts on October 31st and yet makes absolutely no mention to the accompanying holiday! Not how we roll in the underground recording studio. But what we do talk about is Battling Boy, the new OGN from writer/artist Paul Pope with colors by Hilary Sycamore. Greg and Mike rave and rave about this . . . wait a minute . . . Greg didn’t like it? Are you serious? Is that even allowed in comics podcasting? Is this the last episode of Robots From Tomorrow? No, bu...

And not without personal risk, as Mike battles through a delayed “con crud” reaction that Greg managed to somehow avoid (possibly due to his junk-food-fortified constitution). But that won’t stop you from getting to hear about the Image/ Multiversity party, talking with industry giant Mike Richardson, just where the hell the DC booth was (...

Episode 5: Creative Teams
October 10, 2013 02:57 - 1 hour - 120 MBToday's episode takes Mike and Greg across all manner of comics! The discussion starts of with Francesco Francavilla's Black Beetle. This story is a true artistic accomplishment, but does story take a backseat to visuals? From there the talk shifts toward the newly solicited X-Men: Battle of the Atom hardcover. It carries a heavy pricetag, and the guys ponder whether or not the second-act storytelling is worth the cost of admission. To wind things down, the conversation turns towards Francis...
