Comic Patrol Pod

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 around, for our 4th go at AxP, it's The Fox and The Bat: Zorro and Batman. Zorro enters his 101st year in 2020 and Batman his 81st, so it isn't hard to tell that these two have HISTORY. They also have a ton of similarities, and one is partially based on the other, hence their comparison in Across the Pages!

The movies we cover are 1998's The Mask of Zorro, and 1997's Batman and Robin.

Needless to say, there are both very high and very low points in this episode... Very, very low points...

Ok, wait. Let us explain! This isn't what it looks like... ok, it is exactly what it looks like: an 80's Zorro parody flick where Zorro injures himself and his flamboyant twin brother takes over the cowl in the meantime.

That's really it. Oh ya, plus some solid laughs and not as many gay jokes as you might expect (there are definitely still gay jokes and the like tho). 

We break this movie down - one of us for the 1st time and the other for the 50th time, this is our bottle cap review of Zorro! The Gay Blade.

Welcome to our next DoX update episode - it's been a little while, but we're back with more X-books.

Boom Boom to the rescue! Apocalypse in a suit! Kate and Emma new besties? Psylocke's enemy revealed, monsters and dragons galore, and a few new deaths are all ahead for your eargasming pleasure.

Last time we did all the #2's and #3's, but this time around, we're covering the #4's and a few #5's (the others will be held off until the #33.3 update). In this episode we talk about, breakdown and add some commentary to: 

New Mutants #4

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez created Locke and Key. 

Coke and Dank now breakdown Locke and Key.

From IDW, a 2008 story about mystery, suspense, family and self-discovery. We go through the story, talk about the characters, the plot and all the best parts of this creative, twisted world.

We had another episode idea slated and sketched out, but with the new Morbius trailer - and the thoughts that come along with - we switched things up and tossed out the episode outline.

This is a little bit different: no script, no show prep, no notes - we just have a discussion about the new trailer, the Sony-Spider-Movie-Verse, the relationship with Marvel Studios, their other planned movies, and what it all might mean through the drunken lenses of us,. D'Lethal Weapons.

It has been a long time coming, but we have finally bottle capped a Batman TAS arc: Two-Face Pt 1 and 2. Arguably the best cartoon from our childhood, this story takes place across season 1, episodes 10 and 11, and is the birth/beginning of Harvey Dent's full transformation into Big Bad Harv A.K.A. Two-Face.

How does Batman deal with his mentally ill friend turning full heel, while crime rings around Gotham grow stronger and more bold? Check it out with us

Merry Christmas!

This was supposed to be our very festive Christmas episode, where we twist the 12 days of Christmas into the 12 days of comic book deaths.... But, our December was a mess, and so you guys are all getting this wonderfully joyous episode later than anticipated. And you'll like it too, goddammit.

In this one, we talk about and rate (because we're morbid like that) a dozen different character deaths spanning Marvel and DC comics; from Jason Todd to Wolverine to Nightcrawler and Black Adam, hit play to hear it all.

There are SO. MANY. BOOKS.

And because of that, we are breaking away from our usual episodes, and bringing you the first (of many) independent Arc Analysis series episodes.

The first one up - or 7th if you've been keeping up - is the creepy and moody Image Comics' Gideon Falls: The Black Barn (issues #1 to #6) buy Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. We break it down inside, and are quite split on the series: listen in to find out why... Unless you're some wanker who doesn't like us. Give us another chance, man!

  Hero Draft - Our very own comic based fantasy league! With 32 character names plucked 2 by 2 from an actual, real-life hat (one by each co-host), we pit them against each other in battle, games, sports and contests each week in an elimination tournament format. (theme by Komiku)

Hero Draft Season 1: Marvel Heroes, Round 4

We're ambitious AF.

Welcome to our first (unofficial episode) that is continuing off of our HOX POX and DOX #1 (official episodes). Confused a bit? Don't worry about it - we always are.

In this part of the series, we will be covering the next couple issues of each book that has been launched for the Dawn of X movement: X-Men, Marauders, Excalibur, X-Force, New Mutants and Fallen Angels, all of their #2 and #3 issues. 

Enjoy, or at least pretend to.
