4-Panel | Comics & Manga

4-Panel returns for our regularly scheduled weekly chat about comics and manga, so join Andrew (the Comics Sage), Mick (Old Man Comics), and Producer Rob as they discuss the third season of Daredevil from Netflix, along with a side order about the future of the characters we've come to know and love in the street-level MCU show. 

Given that it's on TV though, should it be the Marvel Television Universe? The Marvel Netflix Universe? The Marvel Connected Universe? Let us know what you think in the comments.

After that it's time for our usual look at actual comics and manga, which this week include the eighth volume of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Infinity Countdown: Darkhawk, and X-Men: Phoenix in Darkness.

It's time for another episode of 4-Panel, so join Andrew (Comics Sage), Mick (Old Man Comics), and Producer Rob as they investigate the history of the latest villain to go up against Daredevil as the Netflix series enters its third season. So who is Bullseye? Suffice to say that he's a bad, bad man - as the gang quickly find out …

After that it's time for our featured comics and manga which this week include World War Hulk II, the first volume of the Eternal Edition of Naoko Takeuchi's Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Star Wars: Darth Vader - The Burning Seas, Star Wars: Thrawn, Thanos: The Infinity Siblings and Exiles: Test of Time.

If you've been reading comics for long enough you'll have the first-hand experience of cross-over events, ranging from the good (The Infinity Gauntlet, Crisis on Infinite Earths), the strange (Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad), the bad (Civil War II), and the truly awful (Secret Empire). Join the Comics Sage (Andrew), Old Man Comics (Mick), and Producer Rob for an adventure with where worlds, and even realities, collide.

After that serious discussion devolves into the usual chuckling at silly names, it's time for our featured comic-books which this week are the third volume of The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, Tor Freeman's child-friendly supernatural anthology Welcome to Oddleigh, Marilyn’s Monsters by Tommy Redolfi, 3 Story: The Secret History of the Giant Man by Matt Kindt, Venom: Dark Origin, and Captain America: Home of the Brave.

Until next week, keep it 4-Panel, and be wary of those who promise Monsters.

4-Panel - your friendly, neighbourhood comic-book and manga show - floats into town once more like a … erm … podcast, in the wind.

This week the Comics Sage (Andrew), Old Man Comics (Mick), and Producer Rob venture into the confused history of Venom in its many, many guises - just in time for the release of the movie starring Tom Hardy.

After that it's time for our featured comics and manga, which this week are The Suit by Dennis Calero, The Silent Invasion: Red Shadows by Larry Hancock and Michael Cherkas, The Fox: Fox Hunt by Mark Waid and Dean Haspiel, the second volume of Hellboy: The Complete Short Stories, Avengers: Back to Basics and Lockjaw: Who’s A Good Boy?

It's time for another episode of everyone's favourite comics and manga podcast, so join the Comics Sage (Andrew), Old Man Comics (Mick), and Producer Rob as they discuss the good, the bad, and the sometimes particularly ugly realm of "mature" comics - which does not mean porn! When should a comic or manga be labelled "mature"? What topics or themes would it include? 

Welcome to a "serious" house of "serious" comics on a "serious" podcast.

After that it's back to business as usual with some comics and manga, which this week include Falcon: Take Flight, S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Human Machine, the 7th volume of Fuse's That Time I got Reincarnated As A Slime, and The Paybacks.

While Producer Rob trudges back from the realm of video games in the midlands that he voluntarily got trapped in, it's up to the Comics Sage (Andrew), and Old Man Comics (Mick), to run the show, so after a discussion about the trailer for Captain Marvel they explore the history of the character - from the original blond-haired, blue-eyed very-much male Kree warrior Mar-Vell to the current human female iteration (and apparently closet fascist if Civil War II is anything to go by), of Carol Danvers. 

After that it's the never-ending business of comics and manga, and this week our featured titles are Aliens/Predator/Prometheus/AVP: Fire and Stone, Star Wars: Dr. Aphra - Remastered, Vinegar Teeth by Damon Gentry and Brooklyn Blood by Paul Levitz. 

Until next time, may all your nemeses be evil.

After being inspired by the barnstorming success of the recently released Spider-Man on the PS4, Andrew and Producer Rob decided to have a chat about video games based on comics and superheroes, and why the reverse is becoming more prominent in recent years.

Seriously, the new Spider-Man game is that good.

That said, this is not a video games podcast - we'll leave it to Press X to deal with that particular pastime. This is a comics and manga podcast which means, as always, that we also discuss some choice titles which this week include Halo: Rise of Atriox, Rise of the Black Panther, Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon, and Old Man Hawkeye: An Eye for an Eye.

Club Med for Mutants

Sometimes you can accumulate too many comics, manga and graphic novels, and when that happens then it's time for a good old-fashioned blowout, so join Andrew, Rob and Producer Rob for a special episode where there's a little less conversation and a little more action. 

So what's in store on this episode that's chock-full of graphic literature goodness? There's inhales Tales of Suspense Featuring Hawkeye and The Winter Soldier, Rogue & Gambit: Ring of Fire, Legion: Trauma, the first volume of Akiko Higashimura's Tokyo Tarareba Girls, Astonishing X-Men: A Man Called X, Jughead: The Hunger, Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers, the first volume of Stephen McCranie's Space Boy, and IAN: An Electric Monkey by Ralph Meyer and Fabien Vehlmann exhales.

That was a lot of comics and manga, so while you wade through this episode we're off to lie down for a bit. We'll be back to our normal routine next week when we'll be talking about the new Spider-Man game.
