In this episode, Mike and Andy are joined by two other guests and we talk about growing up as role players. Lots of annoying inside jokes and laughs but we also learn things about raising our kids as role players (or not), the definition of the word frock, what our favorite games were, and Andy learns his definition of friendship isn't just his alone. Great laughs were had on this admittedly self-indulgent episode of the podcast. Thanks to Dave and Dana for joining us.

We also talk about George Perez and the sad news he told us about his health. We promise to get back to comic-related issues (pun intended) on the next episode.

As always, thanks for listening. Let us know what you think of the podcast, what you want to hear us talk about or review, and whatever else comes to mind! If your app allows, I added chapters you can click to find your favorite moments.

In this episode, Andy and Mike work hard to discuss ABC Comics series Tom Strong. We talk about the first six issues of the series and also get into a discussion about pulp heroes and how different it was when our fathers collected. There is an awkward conversation about inappropriate street corners, we learn what The Franchesco effect is, a rude encounter at a comic store and riding bikes to the 7-11. Plus Andy went to a Halloween Comic party at a local comics store and talks about all the good books he bought.

In this episode, Andy and Mike dive into DC Comics’ 2008 epic Final Crisis. Grant Morrison pulls the multiverse apart — and maybe our brains along with it — in a story about gods, grief, and cosmic confusion. Andy shares how this series hit during a personal crossroads, Mike surprises us by loving a non-Mignola story, and both hosts find meaning in the madness.

In this episode, Mike and Andy meant to talk about George Pérez’s incredible 1987 Wonder Woman reboot… and eventually, they do. But first, the old man energy took over. From the state of today’s comic industry to how they’d save it (you’re welcome, DC), plus an all-new “podcast-approved” swear word, this episode is all over the place in the best way possible. Toss in some Dresden Files, Ready Player One, and Bendis Superman talk, and you’ve got yourself a classic And This Is Why I Love Comics detour.

As always, thanks for listening. The sequel to this episode will have to be called “Back in my day!”  Now with chapters to jump around in the show!

In this episode, Mike and Andy are joined by Matt 2.0 for an epic chat about the first 25 (or so) Marvel Cinematic Universe movies — except Captain Marvel, because… reasons. We dig into our favorites, our least favorites, and why Matt somehow loves every single one. From iconic scenes to dream characters we still want to see on the big screen, it’s a nostalgic trip through Marvel history — with a few audio blips and a dash of Deadpool.

As always, thanks for listening. Now with Chapter headings!

The Infinity Gauntlet! Thanos. Gems. Snapping. Existential crises. It’s all here — and so are Mike and Andy, debating how the comics stack up to the MCU. Along the way, we learn about Mike’s Ron Lim grudge, Andy’s George Pérez crush, and who wins the inevitable trivia round. It’s a full cosmic crossover of opinions, laughs, and deep cuts.

The cosmic chaos continues! Mike gushes over Mignola, Andy forgets everything, and the multiverse of middle age takes hold

In this episode, we finish up talking about DC's Cosmic Odyssey by Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola from 1988. It's a Mike Mignola lovefest and that guy Jim Starlin too.

We learn that Mike has a lot on his mind and that Andy really has memory problems. Getting old sucks.

Hang with us on the audio! It gets waay better next episode!

It all began with a Starlin story and a Mignola masterpiece — plus two friends finding their place in the comic cosmos.

Now re-edited!
In this episode, we talk about DC's Cosmic Odyssey by Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola from 1988. It's Jim Starlin, famous for Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet so it's got to be good, right?
Plus we get introductions of hosts Andy and Mike and learn a little about what brought the two together.

Hang with us on the audio! It gets better in future episodes. We were still figuring it all out! Now with improved sound and editing.
