Welcome again to Masterpiece Comics Theater, an aural interwebs show where we debate all things graphic novels and imbibe all things barley brews. Lord KMacsworth III of Inkshire and Sir Yexington, Man of Comic Sans Letters bring you this time a tale of international intrigue, conspiracy, murder, and berets. Can one hard luck Queens-bred Arachnid stop the war-bound collision course of a small Balkan country and a world superpower? Why must the world deal with Aunt May’s dumb sick boyfriend? See the scenic locals of New York, Symkaria, Washington, DC, Amazon Rainforest, and the New Jersey Riveria. Spider-Man is in race against time and consecutive “Ns” in the Assassin Nation Plot. If Nic Cage had just got to the National Archives first!

Clocks striking midnight! Things going bump in the dark! It must mean it’s time for your boys, KMac & Yek to go all Boogity Books & Beer-Tober, Bitche$! This year we are talking the twisted yarn of murder, mayhem, & mystery: Batman - Gotham After Midnight! (2008-2009).

• Who is this new villain Midnight? Why is he/she digging out buried secrets of old Gotham and stealing out hearts in the new one? 
•  Does batman drink beer from a cask?  Well, he should and so should everyone else.
• It wouldn't be Halloween without a Kaiju fight.
• Joker "You wouldn't' hit a man wearing a pumpkin, would you?"

• Remember on Halloween, even Batman can walk the streets of Gotham unnoticed. Or just  Olivier Queen noticed.

Every wonder what you can do with a super supportive mom? Well, if you are the High Evolutionary you can get a Transylvanian castle, evolve a bunch of farm animals, defeat an ancient evil Elder God, rule over a counter-earth as a god, and develop an army of Purifiers to extinguish all the bad genetics of mankind, which probably reflects your absent dad issues. Listen to KMac and Yek devolve this and as they do that themselves by swigging away. 

• Dominant:
  • Kickoff of Marvel Summer Annual Crossover Non-Crossover event. 
  • “You’re no Darwin, Apocolypse!”, “Yeah, you’re no Mendel yourself, High Evolutionary!”
  • Them so evolved artist: Terry Shoemaker, Mark Texiera, Art Adams, Mark Bright, Mark Bagley
• Recessive:
  • Eliminators? Purifiers? Young Gods? Did 10-year-old us write this?
  • All the plot potholes of holes? Really, Colombian drug dealers are what is slowing down evolution?
  • Magneto had a better gene bomb master plan. 

Beers:

KMac: Harder than You Think, Cigar City Brewing, Tampa, FL
Style: Rye Pilsner, 5.3% ABV, 39 IBUs

Yek: Wake up in the Future, DC Brau Brewing, Washington, DC
