Batman has a long history in comic-books, but unlike characters like Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and others who aren't called Green Lantern, there are more version of Batman than people would believe - and that's before we get to Dark Nights: Metal!

So where does one begin with so many different versions of the Caped Crusader? With one of Batman's most controversial and divisive "replacements" obviously ...

After that it's time for our regular look at the things that we've been reading, which this week include the first volume of Granblue Fantasy, the third instalment of Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT Omnibus, sci-fi shenanigans in Off-World Blues, and Age Of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men.

We’re back and fully refreshed after a short period off to recharge, and this week it’s the second part of our look at the weirder members of the Justice League. From the original JLA to Justice League Europe, Antarctica (we’re not kidding), and the full-on International version, there are plenty of odd characters to choose from so this may take a while ...

 

…

…

 

Okay, so this is probably a topic we’ll come back to at some point in the future. For now we’ll leave you with our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which include The Fantastic Four: The Herald Of Doom, Age of Conan: Bêlit, Asgardians Of The Galaxy: War Of The Realms, Secret Warps, and Ignited.

The Justice League is DC’s premier super team , and with members  that include A-list heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Martian Manhunter and The Flash, it’s only natural that it would be popular with fans. 

 

But the League has many more “heroes” that make up its roster, and over its decades-long history fans have seen a many changes to the guard - along some strange additions …

 

This week Andrew, Rob and Mick investigate the odder side of the Justice League, and with characters like Maxwell Lord, The Wonder Twins, Blue Devil, Bloodwynd and Detective Chimp to choose from it’s going to be a lot of fun!

 

After that it’s time for our regular look at the things at the things that we’ve been reading, whis this week include Aliens: Resitance, Venom: Unleashed, the first volume of Isabellae by Raule and Gabor, Terminator: Sector Wars, Guardians Of The Galaxy: The Final Gauntlet, and Captain America: Captain Of Nothing.

Halloween rolls around again, so Andrew and Rob decided to invite Luke Herr from the podcasts MultiversalQ, UltiversalQ and Exiled over for a horror-themed chat about superhero comics.

Our featured comics are Lightstep by Milos Slavkovic and Mirko Topalski, and Hellboy And The B.P.R.D.: 1956

We're kicking things off this week with a quick look at the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix as it's a nice little prelude to our main topic - comic-book adaptations that strayed a lot from the source material (in both the bad ways and the good ways).

After that we have our usual look at the things we've been reading, which this week include Meyer by Jonathan Lang, Marvel's Invaders, the second volume of Emanon (Emanon Wanderer), by Kenji Tsurata, The Girl In The Bay by J.M. De Matteis, and X-23: X-Assassin.

Also, we apologise for the problems with the audio in this episode.

TV adaptations of comics are all the rage these days, and since our resident comics sage (Andrew), has gone to do Roman things (that may or may not include conquering Europe), we decided to investigate the plethora of live-action superhero shows.

From the Adventures of Superman back in 1952, through the swinging '60s Batman years and the '70s Shazam!, Hulk and Wonder Woman, to the modern day Flash, Agents of Shield, Cloak & Dagger and Runaways, join Rob and Mick for a journey through the ages of comic-book superhero television.

After that it's our usual look at the things that we have been reading with our eyes, which this week include the third volume of Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama, Meet The Skrulls, and Mr & Mrs X: Gambit And Rogue Forever.

The War of the Realms is the big Marvel crossover event that spun out from the pages of the Thor comics, but with so many characters involved in a fight across the nine realms from Norse mythology, where do you even start. 

 

Join Andrew, Mick and Rob as they wade through a stack of War of the Realms titles, K-Pop superheroes, trailer-park Skrulls, flying horses, ghost cowboys, babysitters, Hench-Con, Ares (The God of War), and a whole lot of other stuff.

 

Our featured comics on this episode are War of the Realms, New Agents of Atlas (WotR), Journey Into Mystery (WotR), Venom (WotR), Giant-Man (WotR), War of the Realms: War Scrolls,  War of the Realms Strikeforce, Captain Marvel: Re-Entry and Champions: Beat The Devil.
