Evolve with us as K-Mac struggles to describe his beer while Yek travels to the future. 

KMAC Brew:  Harder Than You Think; Rye Pilsner.   Cigar City, Tampa. #cigarcity 5.3% ABV
Yek Brew:  Wake Up in the Future; BBA Stout. DC Brau. Wash DC. #dcbw

Topics Discussed: 

Sadness for the High Evolutionary.  Initially an interesting character, becomes a mustache twirling disposable villain by the end.  

High Evolutionary achievements: evolving his dog into a dude; evolving a whole army of new men who become Knights of Wundagore; building rad armor as werewolf protection; creating Counter Earth. 

Magneto's missed opportunity as an orthodontist, considering the amount of dental work is granddaughter Luna requires.

Adam Warlock = Gold Jesus.  Near omnipotent powers don't include being involved in interesting stories. 

Divorce for Inhumans?  Just talk to Blackbolt.

Our love of random Avengers reserve teams.  Especially when reserves needed because all the good Avengers are on the West Coast team.  Or was it just an excuse to include Beast to be an undercover New Men?

The Gene (Jean) Bomb-  we knew the plot of the 1st X-Men movie seemed familiar.  Where's the follow up crossover where evolved fish take over the planet?

Sláinte or something, you dark beer loving spring drinkers. The boys are ready to rate Emerald Isle beers so you know what you must drink when wearing silly slogan-ed green tees to avoid getting pinched. That’s right, we review all three types of proper Irish black gold:  Guinness stout. And after we down a few, we riff on which comics characters are shameless stereotyped Leprechauns. Poor little guys. All they want to do is grant some wishes, keep their pot of gold, and hang in the ‘hood.

Guinness Draught
Style: Irish Dry Stout, 4.2% ABV,

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 heartpounding tale about a denary nighttides for a Slavic savage killing all in is path while being hunted by the Detective. The fashion minded killer won’t stop until all of those involved with creation of U.S. Millenium Falcon are мертвый. Can the Dark Knight get a step ahead in time to save the Gipper? Nancy does not D.A.R.E. to ask what will happen after 10 Nights of the Beast.

Batman #417-#420 (March 1988-June 1988)

Writer: Jim Starlin

Covers: Mike Zeck
Colorist: Adriene Roy
Letter: Augustin Mas / John Costanza

The Highlights:

• KGBeast  (Anatoli Knyazev): He knows how to rock those leather Gimp briefs, he knows how to throw shurikens, he doesn’t know cutting a rope is easier than cutting off your own damn hand. Nightly average body count: 9.8. 
• A Complete Story Telling Ride: The covers make you want to read the book, the story keeps you turning the page, and the art and panel layout keeps the right pace for four fun issues.
• Batman gets the Beat Down: Proto-Bane just whales on the Bats. Two gunshots through the same shoulder hole. Good planning Dark Knight. 
• Batman, the Detective: Only Batman can harass every street hood to find out where a Russian assassin hunting the president is. Gotham is his home and he knows every sewer storage room cul de sac. 
• Reagan!: If you’re going to tell the ultimate 80s Cold War Story, you better not back off in featuring Ronnie hangin’ with Commissioner Gordon.
