Comic Patrol Pod

[Keg Week Pt 5]

The final entry in our first ever Keg Week, and we'd like to say that it is a doozy. Published in 2012, The Secret History of the Foot Clan sheds light on how the ninja gang got it's checkered start while also linking it all to the present day. 

We can't even pretend like it's a bad comic. It's good. It's really, really good. Listen in to find out why... Or eff off.

[Keg Week Pt 4]

Michael Bay can't help himself. He just can't. This movie proves that, even if it is his best version of the Turtles... while compared to the abysmal 2014 film.

There is a lot to talk about when it comes to TMNT: Out of the Shadows because there are both good, and bad things about it. A heap more of one of those things, but listen in to find out whether it's the good stuff or the bad stuff we're highlighting.

[Keg Week Pt 3]

Welcome to the middle of our TMNT Keg Week, and return of Comic Patrol. 

What started out as a part two to our "Odd Crossovers" (Epi #34), quickly became a TMNT Crossovers episode based on two things: 1. How many crossovers the Turtles have been in since their conception, and 2. How much we fucking love the Turtles.

[Keg Week Pt 2]

When two of our all-time favourite properties meet in a movie, you already know we have to Bottle Cap it. 

The title is as the movie does: Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and boy does the movie ever do what it does.

Listen inside to our Bottle Cap Review of it - and spoiler: it may set a new record for the amount of bottle caps it does (or doesn't) get.

[Keg Week Pt 1]

AND WE'RE BACK!

Been a while, and because of that, we're kicking off a very special week that we call a Keg Week, where we drop content every day between Monday and Friday on a certain theme. For our first Keg Week, we chose none other than our beloved TMNT, so here is our Arc Analysis of the comic book that literally started it all:

1984 Mirage Comic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1.

Enjoy or eff you!

Coke & Dank scratch the surface of racism and its impact on the social climate of society in this special episode, before we return to form.

Black Lives Matter.

Just in time for the movie to come out, Bloodshot (bang bang!) is here in comic book form for the 10th installment of our Arc Analysis series.

Disclaimer: This book has a lot of blood and a lot of shots, which is fitting to it's name. It was part of the 2012 Valiant Universe 'reboot', and is the starting point for one of their main flagship characters. It's gory, it's bloody, it's action-y, but do the Weapons dig it? See inside...

Across the Pages (AxP) is our series where we take two similar-ish characters/teams/properties from different creators or publishers and give their various forms of media a well-deserved spotlight.

This time it's all about spies, MI6 and gadgets galore: James Bond and Ninjak. How similar are these two chaps? Well, aside from body armour and actually being a ninja, pretty damn close. Secret Agent Men, indeed

The movies we cover are 1967's You Only Live Twice, and 2018's compiled web-series, Ninjak vs The Valiant Universe.

Comic books and video games have a long(ish) history, going back a few decades: sometimes adaptations, sometimes continuations, sometimes filler and other times trash.

With co-host Dank away in another galaxy, we have our 3rd(ish) team member fill in, who just happens to love video games as much as Coke does: introducing Whippet! The two Weapons go through a bunch(ish) of video game based comic books and how well(ish) they translated to this wonderful form of media. There was a list made for both co-hosts to cover the same books, but instructions weren't followed so there are more books in this episode than originally planned...

You've never read anything like this before. Trust us, you haven't.

Oh, you have, huh? You've read an 80's, hip-hop influenced, samurai-themed spin on Romeo and Juliet, that positions the title characters out of the spotlight to focus on Tybalt (and his underground sword-dueling gang) instead, while written in iambic pentameter?

Is that a yes? Well then, keep it moving, I guess... But for those of you who have yet to experience Ronald Wimberly's 2012 (or 2016 rework), please listen in as we talk about Prince of Cats for our 9th installment of Arc Analysis.
