Between the Panels

Between the Panels celebrates another milestone as the full BTP team of Diana Hurlburt, Justin Vactor and Justin Partidge join William and Dane to talk about their favorite writers.

With Dane out sick, William and Justin talk about Nova #1, Thanos: Rising #1, and the necessity of origin stories. Then, with Marvel's Age of Ultron reaching its half-way point, the guys jump in and offer their thoughts.

William and Dane welcome back friends of the show Brandon Jerwa and Eric Trautmann to talk about their new creator-owned series at Monkeybrain: Frost.

The show runs a bit longer than normal this week as William, Dane and Justin can't help themselves but talk about how much they're enjoying Brian Michael Bendis' Guardians of the Galaxy, which sparks a conversation about the entire state of Marvel's cosmic universe: both past and present. Justin and William can't quite match Dane's level of excitement for Mark Waid's Green Hornet, while William and Dane dig into an exciting start for the next arc of Geoff Johns' Aquaman.

Justin finished the first trade of Matt Fraction's Hawkeye and is eager to chat with William and Dane about it before Dane jumps into the end of Grant Morrison's Action Comics run, all before William talks about Brian K Vaughan and Marcos Martin's The Private Eye.

Okay… this looks bad. Sure William is still out of town but don't worry, the talkguy* duo of Dane and Vactor are here to bring you this week's trade-themed comic reviews. With the Kick-Ass 2 trailer hitting this week (pun totally intended) Vactor brings in Hit-Girl Volume 1 to talk about which somehow leads into a discussion of Mark Waid's Daredevil Volume 4 and before you can say "pizza dog" Dane is monologuing about Hawkeye Volume 1 trade paperback (again? again!).

*Sincere apologies* for the forced Hawkguy joke.

**I am not actually sorry and I would do it again.
