4-Panel | Comics & Manga

All-new (yet still somehow same-old), 4-Panel returns and this week Comic's Sage Andrew joins Producer Rob to continue their discussion from the previous episode, but this time the focus is on The Fantastic Four. What will the MCU version look like, when could Marvel's first family finally fight alongside the Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy, and who could possibly play the roles of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben? Conjectures abound as our hosts postulate the possibilities before coming up with their own ideas …

After that it's time for the usual dose of comics and manga goodness, and this we're featuring Ant-Man/Giant Man: Growing Pains, and Dakota North Investigations: Design for Dying - which has a character that neither Rob nor Andrew have heard of.

It's a bit of a sparse week, but tune in to the next show where we make up for it. Oh yes we will!

Yes, you read that right. This really is the first episode of the second season of 4-Panel, which means we've completed what may be the longest first season in podcast history. Now that we're in a new series you can expect some teeny, tiny differences here and there …

Kicking things off this week, Andrew and Producer Rob discuss what the X-Men might look like once they finally join the MCU while offering up a few ideas of their own - which leads to some some interesting possibilities.

After it's business as usual with some comics and manga, and this time we're featuring Rome West, Marvel 2 in 1: The Thing and The Human Torch - Fate of the Four, The Invincible Iron Man: The Search for Tony Stark, and The Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business.

The Monkeys Have Unionised?

The Prodigal Mick rejoins Andrew and Producer Rob for this week's episode of the comics and manga podcast that can only be spoken about in hushed whispers (preferably somewhere reasonably deserted and covered in heavy fog).

So what's in store for these agents of graphic literature mayhem? Well, there's casting news for both the Batwoman movie, Daredevil's arch-nemesis Bullseye will make the jump to TV as well, the live-action adaptation of Ys: The Last Man will feature a CG monkey, and Supergirl is getting another movie - which may or may not be connected to the TV series and probably won't be connected to the original Supergirl film.

It's not a great week for news, but it's presented in the way that only 4-Panel is capable of (if this is what we're like when we're sober …).

After that it's time for us to roll out the comics and manga and under the spotlight this week are volume 6 of Fuse's That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Doctor Who: Land of Blind, Jim Starlin's Infinity Gauntlet (the finger-snapping good one), and Venomized.

Venom's Killer Joke Book

It's our 150th episode and you'd expect us to have organised something grand to commemorate this landmark episode … 

Nope, you must be thinking of another podcast. This is 4-Panel, and long-time listeners will know that we never have a plan. What we do have is an Andrew and a Producer Rob who discuss the latest trailer for Venom and how the Disney purchase of Fox will affect properties like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

After that we move on to the main reason why you're here (the big pile of comics), and this week we've got the second volume of Malika: Warrior Queen, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D: 1955, Empowered and the Soldier of Love, and the first two volumes of Tom and Nimue Brown's folklorish supernatural tale Hopeless, Maine.

Hellboy's Lucha Libre Holiday

The comics and manga merry-go-round returns for more shenanigans, and this week things have been happening!

Kicking things off this week is the news that James Gunn has been fired from Disney Marvel as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for tweets he made years ago that they already knew about and that he'd already apologised for - make of that what you will. In other news, Chelsea Cain returns to Marvel for a new Vision series, and also teams up with Kate Niemczyk for a new Image series, pilot scripts are announced for Mega-City One, Netflix picks up the live-action TV series adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's Lovecraftian supernatural/horror series Locke and Key, and Robert De Niro will star in Joaquin Phoenix's Joker Movie. In addition to all of that Andrew and Rob offer their considered opinions about the trailers for DC's upcoming superhero movies Aquaman and Shazam,

Phew … it's an unusually packed episode this week.

So, moving on to the serious business of actual comics and manga, this week we've got Wolverine: Savage Origins, volume 1 of Hellboy: The Complete Short Stories, Ant-Man: Astonishing Origins, and Star Wars: Han Solo.

Special Werewolf Chocolate

It's time for your weekly trip into the confusing and argumentative wonderland of comics and manga, so join Andrew and Producer Rob as they drag the other Rob along for another 4-Panel outing.

So what's been happening lately? Well, Duncan Jones is planning to dip into the pages of 2000 A.D. to make a Rogue Trooper movie, there's news about Spider-Man: Far From Home, This week, on our comics and manga podcast, we talk about Duncan Jones planning a Rogue Trooper Movie (2000AD), and some movie discussions about Spider-Man: Far From Home, Aquaman and Shazam, the news that Batwoman getting a TV series, and a truly terrible trailer for the live-action Titans (Teen Titans it most definitely isn't).

After that we get to the important matter of our featured comics and manga, which this week includes Thanos Wins, volume six of Maybe's To The Abandoned Sacred Beasts, Ant-Man & The Wasp Prelude, and Doctor Strange: God of Magic.

It's something of a Donny Cates week … well, maybe just a little.

The Creeper in my Sock drawer

This week on our friendly neighbourhood comics and manga podcast, Andrew and Producer Rob are joined by the other Rob (yes, we know it's going to get rather confusing).

It's a rather sombre opening this week as the gang remember the work of the legendary Steve Ditko, with time enough for a chat about the second season of Netflix's Luke Cage before it's time to dig into the big pile of comics and manga.

So what did we fish out from that magical heap of words and pictures? Well, there's some tales from the pages of Archie with The Complete Cosmo the Merry Martian, Ben Frankel's murder-mystery Frank, Jeff Lemire's Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil, Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey's Jenny Finn, the first volume of Yasushi Baba's Golosseum, and Avengers: No Surrender.

So there's plenty of good stuff to sink our teeth into.

Captain Harlock’s Synth Pop Album

After a week off it's time for the phoenix-like return of Andrew and Producer Rob as 4-Panel rides again! 

So, after a collective and half-hearted "Yeehaa" our the dastardly dashing dynamic duo dissect Kevin Feige's news dump during the Ant-Man press tour before they find out what the DC universe has in store for everyone going forward. We also have the worst news ever (again), but this time it's in relation to bloodsucking Eurotrash and man who doesn't glitter attractively in the daytime, Morbius the Living Vampire - who is going to get a movie starring ***** **** in the lead role. 

It's just the worst news … 

That said, we do have a treat for everyone as our featured comics and manga this week are Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku Volume 2, Moon Knight Vol. 1: Crazy Runs in the Family, David B's A Tale of a Thousand and One Nights:  Hasib & The Queen of Serpents, and the tenth volume of 's epic viking series Vinland Saga. 

Ah Vinland Saga. One of our constants …

Beware of the Bizarro-Dorkin

It's time for another bout of hot comics and manga action, but before Andrew and Producer Rob start wallowing in their piles of graphic literature there just enough time to have a chat about Iron Fist headlining Marvel’s presentation at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Netflix saving Lucifer from cancellation (and thereby potentially proving that they are in fact satanists), DC's new streaming and online comics services, the fact that Superman IV’s Nuclear Man is now canon and not an embarrassing memory, and the quantum state of DCEU's solo Batman project. It's happening (maybe), and people are in it (allegedly), and it will begin production soon (apparently), but it may also not be happening and in one universe it may have actually had a real bat in the role of Bruce Wayne.

Ah, physics …

Our featured comics this week are Return to Planet Hulk , Enough Space for Everyone Else, Spirits of Vengeance: War at the Gates of Hell and Milk & cheese: Dairy Products Gone Bad.

Tango & Cash in SPAAAAACE!

Your weekly guide to all things comics and manga is back for another folly-filled episode, so join Andrew and Producer Rob as they investigate Batman: White Knight - which will apparently feature the first nude Joker and Harley sex scene (urk. Sorry, we kind of threw up in our mouths a bit there), along with the birth of DC's "sexy" new Black Label line. After that somewhat harrowing start we find out that Marvel are bringing back The Unstoppable Wasp and Iceman (which they cancelled not long ago), and there's some information about the sequel to Patty Jenkin's 2017 smash hit Wonder Woman, as well as long-awaited second attempt at a Green Lantern Movie - which tangents into the greatest sequel never made.

We've got a mixed bag of featured comics and trade paperbacks this week with Amazing Spider-Man: Venom Inc. The Runaways: Find Your Way Home, more tentacles and symbiotes in Venom & X-Men: Poison X, and the second volume of Star Wars: Darth Vader - Dark Lord Of The Sith.

Seriously, we can still taste a bit of that vomit … nasty!
