4-Panel | Comics & Manga

Behold... the start of a (mostly) new podcast!

Spinning out from 4-Panel, the boys are back with a brand new quest, to watch and rank every superhero adaptation until one stands triumphant as the definitive best.

And what better way to kick things off than with the movie that began the modern superhero blockbuster craze, X-Men (2000)!

Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! 4-Panel is back!

It's been a little bit of an unplanned hiatus, but the boys are back with a new fortnightly show. Join them for a round-up of the latest offerings from Turnaround books.

This week, much like Kino herself, they're on a journey all across comicdom with the aforementioned manga, the sensationally named Superior Spider-Man: Otto-matic and Captain Marvel: Falling Star.

Then, they'll be stopping by Conan Corner to check out the Savage Sword of Conan: Conan the Gambler and Age of Conan: Valeria, before soaring the uncharted skies of Marvel's newest hero in Aero: Before the Storm.

After all of that there's just enough time to check out the first volume of Umi Sakurai's manga A Man and His Cat before, finally, our heroes tackle the seemingly endless expanse that is Absolute Carnage.

Easter is approaching and to get in the spirit of things, we've been doing some flipping. Only instead of pancakes, it's podcast hosts!

This week, Graham and Rob have come from Cinema Eclectica to deliver a level of taste and class never heard before on 4-Panel... and then immediately abandon it as they discuss the cheestravaganza Danger: Diabolik.

Then our two intrepid guest hosts show their comics cred by talking about their favourite books, followed by the usual reviews. This week we have Humanoid's Shangai Dream and Warren Bond by Chris Browning.

It's practically turning into an aviary at 4-Panel heights as the boys review another Birds of Prey, this one with at least 85% more fabulous emancipation.

Join them as they discuss the rise of Harley Quinn, how and how not to handle characters with superpowers and the delicate balancing act of comics accuracy vs. wider market appeal.

Well ok, all of that... and breakfast sandwiches.

After that, it's reviews as usual. Up this week, we've got Saint Young Men, Savage Avengers and Cells At Work: Code Black.

There’s a new superhero blockbuster out and so the 4-Panel boys are, of course, covering Birds of Prey. Just... maybe not the one you’re thinking of. 

Yes, don your leather trench-coats and prepare your vaguely explained superpowers because we’re going to go all the way back to 2002 with the original Birds of Prey tv show. 

There’s going to be angsty teens! 

There’s going to be bad CGI! 

And so. Many. BACKFLIPS!  

After that we’ve got a smattering of reviews which include The Wolf Of Baghdad: A Memoir Of A Lost Homeland, Spider-Man: Life Story and Death’s Head: Clone Drive.

Get ready to blast off with Andrew and Rob on an intergalactic voyage of discovery! Join them as they uncover the most bizarre races in the Marvel universe. Will Rob be able to guess the alien race's backstory from just their name? Obviously not... but what elaborate nonsense will he come up with instead?

It's going to be scaly, slimey and filled with a surprising amount of Hawkeye.

Then it's back down to Earth for the usual comic reviews. This week we have more from Kino's Journey and Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire, League of Legends: Lux and The Bad Bad Place.

It’s 2020 and the boys are back with an all new volume of 4-Panel! Yes, like a scientist rebuilding himself into a glowing blue god with a huge neon elephant, we’re now a new and improved 4-Panel… And one with a whole new segment to boot! Join us (and special guest, Cinema Eclectica’s Graham) for our inaugural Comic Movie Club as we look back at one of the most interesting shows of 2019, HBO’s Watchmen.

Then we get into what we’ve reading, which this week includes the Flaming Carrot Omnibus, Granblue Fantasy, Daria Bogdanska’s Wage Slaves, a lovely of sci-fi goodness with Invisible Kingdom and William Gibson’s Alien 3 and, of course, lots of gushing over how great Immortal Hulk is.

Here we are again with our final offering of 2019 - our Christmas Annual!

 

Andrew, Mick and Rob strengthen their resolve with a bit more Christmas cheer before diving back into the murky depths of the big pile of comics and manga for their favourite discoveries of the year. From stay-at-home Yakuza and amnesiac Martian cyborgs to superhero body horror and a comedic take on old public domain comics, it’s been a strange year overall …

 

We’ll be back in the next couple of weeks with the third volume of 4-Panel, but until then we hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
