4-Panel | Comics & Manga

The Flash TV series proved that it was possible to do superpowers well on the small screen, so this week Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob are looking at other comic-book possibilities for television. We’ve got a whole range of possibilities that include Suicide Squad as Mission Impossible, B.P.R.D. in the style of The X-Files, an Expanse-like version of Rick Remender's Low, Tank Girl as a low-budget surreal comedy (in the style of The Mighty Boosh or The IT Crowd), a goofy buddy-comedy starring Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, a strange DC-based concept that culminates in ... a Justice Society of America series, and more besides.

After that it’s time for our usual round-up of the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Doctor Strange: Across The Universe, Tony Stark/Iron Man: Self-Made Man, Gigantic by Rick Remender, The Life of Captain Marvel, and Avatar: The Last Airbender - Imbalance part 1.

Fans of DC's Teen Titans franchise have generally been well served when it comes to TV adaptations of the adolescent hero team. From the much-loved anime-esque cartoon series from 2003, to Young Justice and the current Teen Titans Go! - there aren't many superheroes that have that kind of popularity. With the release of Netflix's new Titans series, will the darker take on these youthful do-gooders convince the die-hard fans, or will it be another Inhumans? 

But the history of the team is a lot larger and more convoluted than people might think, which leads Andrew to test Mick and Rob in an impromptu game of Who's That Titan?

After that it's business as usual with the things that we have been reading, which this week are Memorabilia by Sergio Ponchione, Cloak & Dagger: Shades of Grey, and The Hunt For Wolverine (Weapon Lost, Claws of a Killer, Mystery in Madripoor and The Adamantium Agenda).

The second season of The Punisher has finally landed on Netflix, and to celebrate our half-boiled comics and manga detectives from the 4-Panel agency decided to investigate some of the weirder things that have happened to Frank Castle over the decades. From his brief stint as an African-American in the early ‘90s and his resurrection as an “angel”, to his other “resurrection” as a monster and the bizarre manga replacement, it’s been a very odd ride for old Frank thus far …

After that it’s time for something a bit more normal as Andrew, Mick and Rob discuss what they’ve been reading, which this week includes the second volume of The Seven Deadly Sins: Seven Days, I Am Young by M. Dean, Domino: Killer Instinct, the third volume of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku by Fujita, and Runaways: Best Friends Forever.

Here we are, not only is this the last 4-Panel of 2018 - it is also the last podcast from the geek show of 2018. Before that though, we have a mini-episode to tide you over, and in this one Andrew, Mick, and Rob go over some of the other highlights from the comic book world that aren't comic books from the last 12 months. 

Mmm, saucy.

See you all again in 2019.

The 4-Panel gang are taking a break during Christmas and New Year's, but we've recorded some extra treats to tide you over till we return in January.

On this first mini-episode the fantabulous (fantastic and fab were already taken), four of Andrew, Mick, Producer Rob and Editor Rob look back over the previous year to talk about the comics and manga that they've discovered. Some of the titles are surprising, others are less so as we've dropped some very obvious "hints" for months about how good some discoveries were.

Anyway, we'll be back soon with more minisodes for you all to tuck into after you've broken all your new toys and TV is showing nothing but repeats. We'll see you then!

It's the last full-length edition of 4-Panel for 2018, and in the spirit of the season Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob take a look at some Christmas comics. What could possibly go wrong?

We mean well. Honest, we really do.

So what comics did Santa leave under the tree for us? Well, there's Marvel Two-in-One: Silent Night … Deadly Night! (starring The Thing and Ghost Rider), What The--?! X-Mas Special (Milk and Cookies, Santa Doom, Chaplain America), Evil Dead 2: A Merry Deadite Christmas, The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special, Marvel Holiday Special Volume 1 (Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santron, Moleman's Christmas and Christmas Day in Manhattan), and the Wormwood, Gentleman Corpse Christmas Special.

One of those threatened to bring down the whole episode.

After that we round off this episode and this year with our usual look at comics and manga that we've been reading, and this week we've got Doctor Who: The Phantom Piper, Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Thanos, and Doctor Star and The Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows.

We're on a break for the Christmas and New Year period, but we'll be releasing some mini episodes until we're back on the air. We'll see you all in the new year!

With the new year looming and the dust from the fourth Avengers movie (no pun intended there), finally settling and the loss of James Gunn at the helm of Guardians of the Galazy, Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob get together once again to discuss the possible futures for the MCU. So where does the Marvel Cinematic Universe go now, and which heroes can we expect to appear in movies and TV shows? Join us as we speculate the possibilities ...

After that it's time for our usual round-up of the comics, graphic novels and manga that we've been reading, and this week we've got Thanos: The Infinity Conflict, X-Men: Uncanny Origins, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus: Tales, Marvel Rising (Ms. Marvel & The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl), X-Men Red: The Hate Machine and Of Dust & Blood: The Battle at Little Big Horn by Jim Berry.

The 4-Panel wagon rolls into town again and this time they're dragging along a whole heap of comics and manga, so join Comics Sage Andrew and Producer Rob as they talk about some of many interesting (and some less so), titles that they've somehow managed to stockpile.

So what's in store this week? Well, there's the third volume Kyouta Shibano's spin-off series Fairy Tail: Lightning Gods, The New Mutants: Dead Souls, Incognegro: Renaissance by Matt Johnson & Warren Pleece, The Avengers: The Final Host, Battle Angel Alita: Holy Night and Other Stories by Yukito Kishiro, Dementia 21 by Shintaro Kago, and the first volume of Hiro Mashima's new series (that totally isn't Fairy Tail in space), Edens Zero. 

That's your lot for now. Next week we're returning to our normal schedule - or whatever passes for normal around here ...

We lost one of the kings of pop culture, a much beloved creative force, and one of the people who was responsible for making comic books what they are today. He made us believe in characters who were larger than life, but somehow still down to earth, and shone a light on prejudice (X-Men), diversity (Black Panther, Luke Cage, Jean Grey, Black Widow, She-Hulk), mental health (Hulk, Ant-Man), and physical disability (Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Iron Man), at a time when such issues were ignored or disparaged. 

On this week's episode Andrew, Mick and Rob pay tribute to one of the 20th and 21st century's greatest pop culture icons - the late, the great Stan Lee, who made us believe in heroes again and again. 

After a sombre start it's time to talk about what we've been reading, which this week are Sullivan’s Sluggers by Mark Andrew Smith & James Stokoe, EXO by Jerry Frissen & Philippe Scoffoni, the first volume of The Seven Deadly Sins spinoff manga series Seven Days by You Kokikuji, the first volume of Boarding School Juliet by Yousuke Kaneda, Deadpool: Assassin and the Ghost in the Shell: Global Neural Network anthology. 

Until next time, Excelsior!
