“…just strap in and let yourself take the ride and you will not be disappointed.” Are you interested in a comic that covers the entire history of Marvel comics from its beginnings through the 70s and 80s and into a hypothetical future? Well, this is the comic for you! Today on the program we will be discussing Avengers Forever, the comic that attempts the humble goal of tieing up every loose end in Avenger’s comics ever. And, also attempts to make sense of Kang the Conqueror‘s origins. It’s a hefty goal. Written by Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern with fantastic art by Carlos Pacheco this is a sprawling epic weaving in every corner of the Marvel Universe. This is also a hell of a fun ride. Also, we discuss the very light topic of book banning. Spoiler: it’s bad. As always, thanks for listening. WE STILL WANT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS!

“I don’t know if this is a “good” comic, but it is a hugely entertaining one.” Today on the program…it’s a weird one! It’s the super violent and super bizarre The Shadow by Andy Helfer with art by Kyle Baker and Bill Sienkiewicz. This is some bat-shit crazy stuff people! A comic that manages to satirize and parody all the excesses of the 80s while still embracing them. And art that is…well look at the artists and you can just imagine the trippiness. Also, we discuss the pros and cons and ethicality of AI in comics. A nice light discussion. As always, thanks for listening. WE STILL WANT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS!

“It is a veritable ‘Where’s Waldo’ of gothic and Victorian novels.” Today on the program we will be discussing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a troubled classic by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill. This is a creative tour de force, an overflowing toy chest full of rich ideas, mixing multiple copyright-free characters in a story full to the brim with references and Easter eggs. And questionable choices.  It is a discussion full of praise and blame. In addition, we talk about the new DC movie and TV slate released by James Gunn himself!

“Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t.” Today on the program…you just got lucky! We will be discussing Longshot – the 80s comic Ann Nocenti and illustrated by a young Art Adams. And this is as 80s as 80s get. Interdimensional amneasia, mullets, and pouches! Nocenti does some spectacular writing at its purplest, and Adams creates art that will go on to define the late 80s and 90s. Praise and blame will be assigned. Oh, and Mojo is terrifying. In addition, we ramble for a bit about nothing eventually settling in on engagement and the proclivity of some critics to focus on the negative. It’s all good fun. As always, thanks for listening.

“The point is just to have fun, to embrace the joy and wackiness of the season.” Today on the program we discuss Superman’s Christmas Adventure from 1940. Written by Jerry Siegel and drawn by Jack Burnley this is a 16-page dose of Golden Age goodness. This is a madcap story; a romp with loads of silliness wrapped up in colorful paper and tied with a bow. No, it doesn’t make sense – and if you think too hard about it it’ll make your head hurt – but if you just embrace the weird you’ll find this Christmas story…is super. In addition, we give our annual list of “Best Of” comics. They are as follows: Brian’s list:  8 Billion Genies – Charles Soule / Ryan Browne Superman Space Age – Mark Russell / Mike Allred Defenders Beyond – Al Ewing / Javier Rodríguez Batgirls – Becky Cloonan / Michael Conrad || Public Domain – Chip Zdarsky Absolution – Peter Milligan / Mike Deodato Jr.  Paul’s List:  Superman Space Age – Mark Russell / Mike Allred Nightmare Country – James Tynion IV / Lisandro Estherren Detective Comics – Ram V / Rafael Albuquerque Human Target – Tom King / Greg Smallwood Sacrament – Peter Milligan / Marcelo Frusin  As always, thanks for listening.

“…his panels don’t so much seek to terrify, but rather they haunt you. It is disturbing and beautiful.” Today on the program we discuss the horror comic Rachel Rising by Terry Moore. This is a stark, scary, disturbing, and strangely funny comic. If you’ve never read Terry Moore’s work…you should. He is a singular creator, one whose voice and vision are unique and unflinching. And this is one of his best. In addition, we discuss the best thing to be released on television in the year 2022…Werewolf by Night!

“This series broke with convention, it broke with tradition, and the broke the fourth wall.” Today on the program we discuss the Sensational She-Hulk. The classic, genre-defying series by John Byrne. The series poked fun at the tropes and clichés of comic books, the publishers, the creators, and the fandom. It was a satire, a parody, a deconstruction of the medium itself. All while being extremely funny and entertaining. It was and continues to be one of the most important and innovative series in comics history. Hyperbole you say? Well, listen and decide for yourself. In addition, we talk about the She-Hulk TV show on Disney Plus as well as the controversies surrounding John Byrne. As always, thanks for listening.

“Not everything in life is golden or satisfying.” Today on the program we take a look at Aztek: The Ultimate Man written by Grant Morrison &amp; Mark Millar with art by Stephen Harris. It is a 90s extravaganza fill with excess, grittiness, and questionable costume choices. It’s the book that caused a rift between Morrison and Millar that, let’s face it, is probably for the best.

Collected Edition: Episode 89: Aztek: The Ultimate Man

Flintstones, read the Flintstones. You’ll have a gay old time. Today on the program we talk about the 2016 12-issue mini-series The Flintstones written by Mark Russell and art by Steve Pugh. This reimagining was more realistic – in that, the character designs were less stylized and given more human proportions – and its situations and attitudes reflected a sensibility that is more modern (for lack of a better word).  And there are puns…just so many puns. In addition, we talk about the recent deluge of comic book TV shows we are blessed and or cursed with recently. As always, thanks for listening. WE STILL WANT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS!

On today’s program we will be discussing the 1987 classic Spider-Man arc: Kraven’s Last Hunt. This is the outstanding and frankly amazing 6 issue story written by J.M. DeMatteis and art by Mike Zeck. Both are at the top of their game here – the writing is fantastic and the art is some of the best Zeck has ever produced. this is dark, disturbing, complex and thrilling – it is a prime example of what makes comics so appealing as a medium and shows just why it can do things and tell stories in ways no other medium can. This is a good story. Also on the program we discuss the ending of Vertigo –  the adult-oriented DC imprint that was highly influential and spawned so many classic series that would be too numerous to mention here. Vertigo’s demise is a big loss for comics and Brian and I spend some time reminiscing about Vertigo’s importance and lamenting it’s end. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 44: Kraven’s Last Hunt

The long lost episode is here! On this episode we discuss the iconic story arc The Judas Contract from Tales of the New Teen Titans. This is the beloved story written by Marv Wolfman with art by George Pérez. This really is an important run that has had an influence on modern comic storytelling and helped to usher in a new era of comics in general. Also on the program we talk briefly about our childhood favorite characters and we reminisce with nostalgic glee on the joys of getting mail. There is a possibility we may be old. Note on the production: this episode was fraught with problems in the recording with wifi failures, construction noises and dogs howling. There were multiple interruptions and it seemed as if fate was telling us that this didn’t want to get done. It was a Herculean effort to clean this up and get it presentable for release, so thank you listeners for you patience. It took a while but I just wanted this to be acceptable and pleasant to listen to. Again, thanks. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K.

First of all sorry for the delay! This was almost a lost episode. There were some technical difficulties and we thought possibly re would need to rerecord. But with some patience, diligence and a few late nights we were able to recover the files. So I hope its worth it. On the program we will be discussing Moon Knight: From the Dead the 2014 6 issue arc written by Warren Ellis with art by Declan Shalvey and colored magnificently by Jordie Bellaire. This is a new beginning of sorts for the character of Moon Knight And Warren Ellis was able to consolidate all of Moon Knight’s varied and – let’s face it – confusing history into a compelling and intriguing narrative. Filled with beautiful, if disturbing, art this comic is a master class in sequential art. It also creates a template of sorts for the character going forward in comic and now TV. Also we talk about the strange kerfuffle going on with the rights of Youngblood and Rob Liefield‘s very public breakdown. In addition we are playing a song The Box based on Moon Knight by the band Deleter off their new EP The Othervoid. If you like the song consider buying it and supporting independent music. You will be glad you did!

Collected Edition: Episode 49: Moon Knight

Hello and welcome to the Collected Edition – a comic book podcast where we explore celebrated story-arcs from comics and creators throughout the entirety of history. On this episode we discuss Daredevil: Born Again the classic story written by Frank Miller with art by David Mazzucchelli. This is a work that has inspired many and is seen as a seminal work for both Miller and David Mazzucchelli. It was very influential in its day and is still influential as it will be the basis for the upcoming season three of the Netflix Daredevil series.  All that being said Brian and I have some differing opinions on the story and a lively discussion arises. So check that out. Also on the program we discuss the one bit of news that will no doubt be the biggest story in 2018…the return of Superman’s red undies. (Sorry, trunks) We also discuss the announcement of a solo Black Widow film and the return of Gail Simone to marvel to write an ongoing Domino series. We also stray off topic from time to time. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 16: Born Again

On this episode we discuss, Thor by Walter Simonson Vol. 1. Rarely in comic book history does a creator leave their unique and influential mark on a character quite as profoundly as Walter Simonson did with Thor. You cannot speak about the character of Thor in Marvel comics without also mentioning in the same breath the name of Walt Simonson. He did not create this character but he took him to heights he had never reached before. This is really good. We also discuss the recent firing of Axel Alonso at Marvel and will this be a good thing or a bad thing. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Today on the program we will be discussing the 2008 run of Secret Six written by Gail Simone with art by Nicola Scott. This is one of, if not the best, villains turned anti-hero teams. Gail Simone’s writing makes this by taking a dark and often violent premise and elevates it by adding humor and heart. This is a very entertaining comic that proves that bad guys can be great. Even if they are horrible while doing it. In addition to this we also talk about the new streaming service from DC (in association with Warner Bros.) called, appropriately enough, DC Universe. This will feature all the DC properties including the animated stuff, the CW shows (maybe, that was unclear), Batman 66 and wonder woman retro series as well as some original series including Swamp Thing – which we are particularly excited for – and this leads to a brief discussion about streaming services in general. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 23: The Secret Six

Hello and welcome to the Collected Edition – a comic book podcast where we explore celebrated story-arcs from comics and creators throughout the entirety of history. Today on the program – a classic story by a legendary creator. We’ll be talking about DC: the New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke. This is a nostalgic look at the Gold and Silver Ages of comics weaving the classic DC characters into history and telling a tale that is both a love letter to the 1950s and a critical look at it’s faults. All with Darwyn Cooke’s unique style that has a very old-timey/golden age feel and style but at the same time it is very modern. And if you need a prime example of why comics is a unique and different medium look no further than The New Frontier. DC: the New Frontier is a combination of art, illustration, prose, pulp and cinema – all combined in a way that produce something that no other medium can produce. Also on the show we discuss the latest cash grab – sorry, I mean new and interesting project Marvel #1000. This will be a one-shot coming in august to celebrate the publisher’s 80-year history which kicked off with 1939’s Marvel Comics #1. Well…that is to say it would be the 1000th issues had the comic continued without interruption – which of course it didn’t. And I should say by “discussion” I really mean I sit then quietly while Brian shares his thoughts and feelings. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 42: DC The New Frontier

Hello and welcome to the Collected Edition – a comic book podcast where we explore celebrated story-arcs from comics and creators throughout the entirety of history. In the 1980s under writer Chris Claremont the X-Men became the most popular title of its day, not only outselling every most other titles at Marvel but its rival DC as well.  So unsurprisingly Marvel decided to do a spin-off series starting a trend that would in no way spiral out of control in the future. The new title was called the New Mutants and would focus on a team of mutants that were younger and the stories would deal with them coming to terms with their own powers and dealing with the trials of growing up as well. The series was very hit or miss until artist Bill Sienkiewicz came on board with a neat little story arc called The Demon Bear Saga. This story arc spans only three issues (with a fourth issue acting as a coda) and it has become the seminal arc in the title’s history and and probably the one most remembered by the general reading public today. And the art is brilliant. Also on the program we discuss – or attempt to discuss – the leaked set photos of Shazam‘s costume. The idea was to talk about comic book accurate costumes in live action and debate if they work at all and if they do which ones? But right off the bat we stray into Captain Marvel‘s publishing history, Deadpool, and various other subjects that have nothing to do with the actual topic. It is a truly stunning display of going off the rails – but in a good way maybe? You’ll have to let us know. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Listen as we discuss the original Secret Empire not the … thing… that is currently being published by Marvel. Its 70s comics talking about Watergate with awesome villains like…the Tumbler!  And Moonstone. You know, those A-listers that always show up in Captain America comics. Also on the program we discuss the possible Watchman TV series on HBO and just what the heck is going on with the Dark Metal crossover from DC? So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K.

Collected Edition: Episode 3: Captain America: Secret Empire

Today on the program we will be discussing the 1991 crossover event: The Infinity Gauntlet written by Jim Starlin with art by George Pérez and Ron Lim. This is of course a blatant ploy on my part to tie into the upcoming release of The Avengers Infinity War that will draw heavily from this story (by all accounts, I haven’t actually seen it yet as it hasn’t been released.) This is one of those big, bold, over-the-top kind of comics that are just so much fun to read and talk about. The Infinity Gauntlet was the 1991 main event, a six issue limited series that revolves around Thanos’ attempts to win the affection of Mistress Death, including killing half the population of the Universe with a snap of his fingers. You know, like you do when you got the hots for a girl. (wait what?) The Infinity Gauntlet is a sweeping, complex cosmic drama with philosophical overtones that continues to be referenced and influential in stories right up to today…and for good or ill, it set the stage for company crossovers for decades to come. In addition to this we also talk about Amazon reportedly developing an adaptation of Johnathan Hickman’s comics East of West and Transhuman. Both of which to be produced by Robert Kirkman of Walking Dead fame.  And the rumor that Grant Morrison taking over as writer for Green Lantern. A comic whose premise is that emotion and thought can be willed into existence using multi-colored rings? Seems like something Morrison might be able to do something with that. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Today on the program we are discussing 2014 run on Captain Marvel by Kelly Sue DeConnick and David Lopez. In 2014 the title was relaunched – surprisingly for Marvel – with a new #1 (sarcasm detected). In this run Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel is freed from the confines of New York City and finds her stories in a more cosmic arena. She helps intergalactic refugees, thwarts space crime syndicate, disrupts an arranged alien marriage in rhyme, learns that her cat is an interdimensional being with pockets of reality inside it, and discovers her ship has a sarcasm detector. Told on an epic scale in intimate ways this run of Captain Marvel re-defined who the character was and will become. It’s quite good actually. In addition we also discuss the rehiring of James Gunn by Disney, Ezra Miller getting fed up and just hiring Grant Morrison to write the dang Flash movie and Paul takes a few minutes to give a brief (and more than likely inaccurate) history of Captain Marvel in Marvel comics. In addition we want to send our sympathies and condolences to the people of New Zealand and to those who lost loved ones in this reprehensible act of violence and hatred. We love you and stand with you. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 39: Captain Marvel

On the program we discuss Monstress – the fantasy comic from Image Comics written by Marjorie Liu with art Sana Takeda. It is filled with intricate world-building, complex characters and stunning art that is some of the best being produced in comics today. It is set in a world of magic and war, populated by humans, immortal beings, hybrid creatures, and many tailed scholarly cats – Montress follows the story of Maika Halfwolf, a teenage Arcanic girl that passes for human but also shares a psychic connection with an ancient demon as she sets off on adventure to find her true origins and her mother’s possibly nefarious motivations, as she comes to grips with the darkness inside her. All the while she is relentlessly pursued by the Cumaea, an order of sorceresses who consume Arcanics’ essence to fuel their power. Just being and intricate and entertaining story is remarkable enough but what makes Monstress stand out from typical fantasy fare is the fact that it is populated almost entirely by women.  Women are the heroes, women are the villains, women are the bystanders and common folk, Women are…everything really. It is a truly groundbreaking work. In addition we talk about our favorite fantasy comics and digress (shocker!) into other topics including how genres are labeled. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

On this episode we discuss the acclaimed series Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol. 2: Scorpion written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Chris Samee and Sara Pichelli. This is the first time Brian has read any Miles Morales stories and with his … let’s say aversion…to Bendis’ writing style this leads to some lively conversation about how a story can and should be told. Also on the program we have a rambling discussion of the newly released Netflix series The Defenders. We both really liked the program though you might not be able to tell with how we actually talk about it. And we discuss the possibility of a new Joker origin film produced by Martin Scorsese. Is this really necessary? Spoilers: no. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

On this episode we discuss the acclaimed series Scalped Vol. 1 by Jason Aaron and RM Guera published by Vertigo. This is an incredibly complex and dense comic book series that deals with issues of violence, sexuality, crime, drug addiction, and identity. We do our best to touch on all those things while at the same time discussing the writing style and artwork and the importance of this series in comics history. Also on the program we have a rousing discussion of the newly announced series The Terrifics from DC and ask the question: Is DC just trolling Marvel now? We also talk about the upcoming Doomsday Clock crossover from DC and if the Watchmen characters can  work in mainstream continuity.  This leads to a … lively conversation. Spoiler: we do not agree on that subject. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 5: Scalped

On this episode we get all meta on ya. Metatextual, metaphysical, I never meta man I didn’t like, etc. Yes, we are talking about the famous and infamous (this time the story falls into both categories) run of Animal Man by Grant Morrison with art by Chas Truag and Doug Hazelwood. This is one of those runs in comics that is so different, so influential, and so good that it is really hard to put into words how to describe it. But that does not stop us from trying. It is the story of a fictional character aware of the fact that he is a fictional character and deals with the philosophical ramifications that comes along with that realization. Also there is the tragic loss of a cat. It all makes for a lively and fun discussion. “Maybe, for once, we can try to be kind.” – the character of Grant Morrison as written by Grant Morrison Also on the program we discuss the announcement of the Sandman Universe, the spin-off titles from the much beloved series by Neil Gaiman, and we try to decide if this throwback to 90s nostalgia is actually something that needs to be – or all we all living in a dream? In addition we also discuss the announcement that Ta-Nehisi Coates will be writing Captain America and if a writer of his caliber can make Captain America great again. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 18: Animal Man

Hello and welcome to the Collected Edition – a comic book podcast where we explore celebrated story-arcs from comics and creators throughout the entirety of history. Today on the program we will be discussing the  The Legion of Superheroes, Archives Vol. 1, the collection of Silver Age wackiness and weirdness that is most definitely a product of a bygone era.  It features boys and girls, lads and gals from the future with one power, one only! As well as Superboy, Supergirl and Superman at really random periods in their timelines because time is a mystery and time travel has no rules. On the program you will hear about such classic characters as Bouncing Boy, Matter Eating Lad and Shrinking Violet…and you will get to hear Brian say the immortal words:  “I can’t get enough of disembodied brains.” So that’s a treat! Also on the program we talk about the recent shakeups at DC and figure out what it all means and what the ramifications are to those changes. Spoilers: we don’t actually do that. Still we talk about it in our unique rambling way, again…its a treat. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Content warning: we want to issue a warning…we use some pretty harsh language on the episode both in describing the content of the comic as well as expressing our opinion of the material. This is something we try not to do but with this comic it was…it keeping with what was being discussed. In addition we also talk about some pretty sensitive subjects that might be disturbing to some so if you don’t want to hear that sort of thing free to skip this one. Totally understand. But if you’re cool with it give a listen and this one might be a little controversial – let us know what you think. So in the introduction we always say famous and infamous – I think we finally hit upon infamous. Today on the program we discuss The Boys. The Wildstorm then Dynamite series written by Garth Ennis at his most juvenile. It is Ennis’ attempt at superhero satire filled with sex and curse words. Its edgy in the way a 15 year old thinks edgy should be. (am I giving away what we think about this series?) It also has great art by Darick Robertson doing his best with the material given to him so there’s that. In addition we discuss the sad news of the folding of Mad Magazine. This was a mainstay in generations of children and a fine purveyor of satire and parody. It will be missed. Also, we will talk about Jeff Lemire‘s two new upcoming books: Joker: Killer Smile by Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino and The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage with Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz. If you look at those collaborators you know that is noting else the art is going to be fabulous.

Collected Edition: Episode 46: The Boys

And we’re back… On this episode we discuss Heir to the Empire the 1996 adaptation of the Star Wars novel by Timothy Zhan and the start of the celebrated Thrawn trilogy. Originally published by Dark Horse Comics it was scripted by Mike Baron with art by Olivier Vatine and Fred Blanchard. This is a “legends” story meaning its not in canon anymore but several elements including the character of Thrawn have made their way back into main current continuity.  And its a fun ride. Also on the program we discuss the return of Conan (the barbarian not the O’Brian) to Marvel Comics the place where he called home from the early 70s to the mid-90s. And we also give our thoughts on the recent announcement by DC of John Ridley’s The Other History of the DC Universe. This will be a retelling of classic stories from the vantage point of marginalized and disenfranchised members of the DC family – an interesting opportunity to tell new angels on existing stories. So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian K. Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.

Collected Edition: Episode 15: Heir to the Empire

On the program we discuss Superman Red Son – the 2003 Elseworlds mini-series written by Mark Millar and art by Dave Johnson. This three issue series imagines a world where Superman landed in a field in the Soviet Union realer than on a farm in Kansas. It is a fascinating idea and is held up as one of the best Superman stories ever written…but does it live up to the hype? You’ll find out the answer to this question and more! Also we talk about the possibility of a black Batman *gasp* and we walk through our favorite Superman analogs (there are a lot).  So join us – Paul Matthew Carr and Brian Reese – for a lively and rambling and hopefully entertaining discussion on comics and comic related material.
