 I Love Thing

In Marvel’s haste to release lots of mutants back into the comic-book wilds, they also give Jean Grey her own series.  Oh, and She-Hulk is now The Hulk, and Totally Awesome Hulk isn’t (The Hulk that is). Our featured comics and manga are Civil War II #7, Death of X, Titans (2016) #2 to 5, and Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur #13.

 There’s Too Many Snakes!

Seriously. The sheer number of Snakes managed to confuse one of us quite badly.  Aside from that, Bone is getting three animated movies and Young Justice is coming back! Our featured comics and manga are Foolkiller #1. The Unbelievable Gwenpool #8, Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat (Calvin & Hobbes), and Big Trouble in Little China/Escape From New York #2.

Bishounen Chewbacca

After the trailer for Wonder Woman, Avengelyne getting a movie and Naoki Urasawa announcing a new manga series, things take a turn for the weird.  Our featured comics and manga are Godzilla: Oblivion, Godzilla: The Half-Century War, A-Force #10, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe, and Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye #1.

Openly Feminist Breakfast Cereal

Aside from Marvel raising awareness of inflammatory bowel disease and the seventh Silent Manga audition, it’s not a nice week in terms of news. Our featured comics and manga are Goblin Slayer, Black Paradox, and Mockingbird #8,

Argh! There’s A Hellgate In My Bank!

Chelsea Cain Appreciation Society

Aside from an announcement about Wonder Woman it’s a dry week in the news, so we dive into our pile of comics and manga to discuss Checkmate, Fairy Tail Zero, Hellboy & The B.P.R.D. 1954, Civil War II: Choosing Sides #6, Civil War II #5, Rocket Raccoon & Groot #9 & 10, ROM #3 and Mockingbird #7.

Creamy Milk For Everyone!

What is it about Mr Sinister that makes everyone want to be him in a movie? Also, Marvel tried to sneakily attach the tag line from the original Thunderstrike on to the new Champions series, but we noticed – naughty Marvel.  Just for that our featured comics and manga are Batman (2016), Wonder Woman (2016), Super-Man (2016). and The Flash (2016). 

Again, naughty Marvel. No ice cream for you.
