Comic Issues Podcast

Original broadcast date April 29, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/04/comic-issues-220-reveals-and-revelations/

This week both DC and Marvel dropped interesting chunks of knowledge on the nerds: we got to see the first official image of Jared Leto as Joker, and Bobby “Iceman” Drake came out as gay. Join the Comic Issues crew as they break down both reveals; what they liked and what they thought was pretty damn stupid. (Spoilers: we’re totally cool with Bobby being gay.)

Along the way they also discuss Angel’s new wings, Convergence #3 (…speaking of things we thought were stupid…) and Star Wars #4.

Oh, when talking about Star Wars, at LEAST once Elizabeth mentions "Fay." She means "Rey." She's been listening to a lot of Welcome To Night Vale, and Molly Quinn's character is Fay, and Elizabeth is easily distracted.

There was no way around it, this week Anthony and Elizabeth talk about last week's Star Wars VII The Force Awakens 2nd teaser and all of the shenanigans that came out of Star Wars Celebration. Together they swoon over the downed Star Destroyer, debate who's making the lightsaber hand-off, and ponder the ways of The Force. Along the road the podcasting dynamic duo also pick up a dusty hitchiker named Batman v Superman and Anthony discusses his possible insanity.

Also on this week's reading pile is Convergence #2, Thor #7, Windeblade #2, and Archie vs Predator #1!

If you're wondering about the "other" teaser that Anthony thinks he saw, turns out it was a clever fan-made teaser.

It's a huge chimichanga of awesome this week as Anthony and Elizabeth build a very complicated podcast: they start out with a smidge of the first Daredevil episode, add in a little Archangel, the Thing, Vision, and Yellow Jacket, pour in the weirdness that is Convergence, sprinkle on a little Hawkeye and Darth Vader, and finish up with a big bite of the Death of Deadpool. And now we're hungry.

This week in the aftermath of WonderCon 2015 your dynamic podcasting duo pull themselves up by their boot straps to bring to you their best experiences from this year's. Talking about some of the Con's best cosplay, stories of their favorite interviews, and other experiences of one of their favorite conventions of the year. Unfortunately this year may be the last in the land of the orange groves and the House of the Mouse as WonderCon has announced that they'll spend 2016 in the LA Convention Center as to which Anthony and Elizabeth say BOO!

Also we make a little Deadpool talk as the new costume has been revealed and if the film needs the newly announced R rating to be good, or faithful to the material. Listen and join the fun!

Original broadcast date April 1, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/04/comic-issues-216-the-truth-is-sometimes-out-there/

It's a rumor-filled podcast as the crew talks about the rumors of a new Star Trek show, a new Alien Nation, and a new X-Files mini series. (Spoilers: one of those is totally not a thing.)

After that they get into the newest Uncanny X-Men and Scott's flip-flopping and Havok's lack of flip-flopping. They they break down the awesomeness of Darth Vader #3 and the newest Rocket Raccoon, and how Anthony just loves reading long novels and Elizabeth loves Squirrel Girl. (Spoilers: a couple of those last ones are totally not a thing either.)

The biggest news of last week comes up in today's podcast as Anthony and Elizabeth take a look at the controversial Batgirl #41 cover by Rafael Albuqureque that was quickly canceled after a short time being infamous on the internet.  Listen in as your favorite comic book hero and heroine take a look why the variant is offending people and debate if DC made the right decision.

This week Leland from Movie Issues returns to the podcast, because DC announced six new costumes, and tables are getting flipped all over the internet. Listen in as the crew talk, and argue, about what they love, and hate, about the projected costumes for Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Women have been given the short end of the stick when it comes to characters and storylines when it comes to comic books, but in recent times publishers have made leaps and bounds to make it right.  This week Anthony returns, and now in the new Pod-Cave he and Elizabeth look at 4 new books from Marvel starring solo ladies and find themselves very impressed.  Together they discuss Marvel's Princess Leia #1, Spider-Gwen #1, Spider-Woman #5, Silk #1 and All-New Hawkeye #1 just to shake things up.  Also upfront impressions of CBS's Supergirl costume are discussed and the happy coincidence that they recorded on International Women's Day.

Listen in and good geekin!

This week Anthony and Ashley are moving to an awesome new place, so Elizabeth takes a turn at hosting, with guest star Leland from Movie Issues! Join us as we pick Leland's brain on all things DC, and he drops knowledge all over the place.

First we talk about Open Season on Comic-Con tickets and whether or not Nerd Mecca will move to Los Angeles. Then we discuss Aquaman's new look (Leland's not a fan, Elizabeth just thinks Jason Momoa is pretty.) Then we break down Joker's "immortality," Superman's flaws, inconsistencies in Harley Quinn, and Wonder Woman having a beer in a bar.
