Comic Patrol Pod

It's been a long time coming, but we're here: our first inductee into our very own Hall of Fame for comic book writers - part 2!

We went through almost his entire catalogue of books last time, and labeled those as The Pride. This time, we delve into the 9 worst comic books of his AND the movie adaptations of some of his work, which, if you know Alan Moore, he isn't thrilled about.

It's been a long time coming, but we're here: our first inductee into our very own Hall of Fame for comic book writers.

We went through almost his entire catalogue of books, and even though our opinions differed on some of them, we were able to agree, in the end, that Mr Alan Moore belongs amongst the legends.

What if Superman was a dick?

Bottle caps away!

"We want to suck your blood."

If that's the first line that comes to mind when you think of vampires, then you're probably old as HECK.

This book, Killadelphia, takes a whole new look at what it means do be a vampire (also what it means to be a cop, whose dad was also a cop), and it is definitely an interesting one. A twisted story with incredible art, we go over it in this 19th episode of Arc Analysis.

For this Arc Analysis episode, we take it back to nearly 30 years ago, when the USSR was still a thing, and multiple teams of mutants and powered up people did stuff for some sort of reason with hilarious results

There are dozens of characters in here, and the average comic book reader has only heard of about 3 of them, tops. And that's what makes this book as fun as it is.

The Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer dropped not too long ago, which reminded us... We still hadn't given the first movie it's own Bottle Cap treatment. So, here we are! 

Yes, it's THAT Leprechaun. The Lionsgate one with the terrible acting and all of it's 6 (!!!) sequels.

On this edition or Arc Analysis, where we dive into what makes a comic book story a boom (good) or a bah (bad), we get this absolute classic, but good god, is it not a lucky read.

Three months later and we're back First Glancing with issue #3 of The Last Ronin. We dive into it and all of the happenings contained in this mega-sized issue and you know what? It's still pretty damn good stuff!

We'll be following this series as it drops, one issue at a time, independent of our regular episodes, and other supplemental series. So enjoy it or perform seppuku, you disgrace. 

What do you get when you take 4 robots of vastly different classes, stick a mark on each of them and expect them to co-exist together or they all die as a group?

A very unique, twisted and hilarious book in the most pleasantly unexpected way. That's a lot of words in one sentence, but listen in and trust us on this one.

Read. This. Book.

It's the latest Shadowman relaunch, finally! One of us has a bit of a soft spot for this Valiant property, so with some high hopes as Cullen Bunn takes over to pen the story. 

Does the first issue deliver on the expectations of one half of Comic Patrol? Let's take a first glance at it and see.
