Comic Patrol Pod

Last episode was us toxing about hox pox, this week we're toxing dox. That's right - the first issues of the Dawn of X age are upon us, and we go over them together just for you. And you. And you, and you, and YOU.

We take a look at X-Men #1, Marauders #1, Excalibur #1, New Mutants #1, X-Force #1 and Fallen Angels #1. We talk about the teams in each book, a few theories we have, and share what we like or didn't like about each of the new issues, as well as expose what other books are to come in early 2020.

P.S. There are 5 more Sinister Secrets to decipher

Today, we tox hox pox

Being big Jonathan Hickman fans, when he was entrusted to take over the new direction for X-Men, we were jacked. In this episode, we take a look at the (combined) 12 issues of House of X and Powers of X, try to decipher some Sinister Secrets and share our overall thoughts about the story and new, uncanny status quo.

Boo.

Scary, right? Welp, we tried.

 Keep 6ix - 6ix, 6ix, 6ix! It's all about hidden gems. Sometimes comic-related, sometimes not; we give you a heads up on some of our favourite comics/games/shows/toys/etc in this short 'check em out' segment.

 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

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

This time, we've got a couple uncanny teams to talk about: Doom Patrol and the Umbrella Academy. One of them a group of super-powered "siblings" collected from all over the world at birth, the other a group of misfits and mishaps. We give our thoughts on both first seasons of the shows for each property, as well as an arc from each comic book history: Doom Patrol's Crawling from the Wreckage and Umbrella Academy's Apocalypse Suite.

Hero Draft Season 1: Marvel Heroes, Round 3

Continuing on our Arc Analysis series with a mini crossover event from 2010: Shadowland. Daredevil is in control of The Hand, and has Hell's Kitchen on a lockdown of ninja-enforced protection. It's up to a combination of Marvel Knights to bring him down.

We summarize and spoil the 5 main entries of this story, dig into the characters, their motivations and even the artwork - issue by issue - to let you know all about the world. We hope you enjoy this episode of Arc Analysis... Or die trying.

Hero Draft Season 1: Marvel Heroes, Round 3

Spider-Man the Animated Series from the mid-90's is always going to hold a special place in our hearts because we grew up with it. The perfect spider-man personality and we can't help but compare other versions of the character to this one.

The Mutant Agenda and Mutant's Revenge are episodes 4 and 5 in of the second season, and in this bottle cap, we go in on them. It's an epic crossover event of X-Men being pulled into Spider-Man's hometown of Queens. How could this not be a perfect review, right? We go in. Enjoy!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Here at Comic Patrol, as long as it has a comic book adaptation, we talk about it. Guess what? Ren & Stimpy DO have a comic series... We just don't talk about it at all in this episode (p.s. No sir... we don't like it). What we do talk about here includes the background of the trailblazing, animated series, the best episodes it did put out, and our favourite episodes of the show (amongst other things).

Joyyyyyyy

Hero Draft Season 1: Marvel Heroes, Round 3

We effing love rogues galleries... Especially Spider-Man's. 

He has easily the best group of adversaries in Marvel Comics. From animal-people to elemental to crime bosses to... alien goo creatures,

this rogues gallery has it all. Come along with us as we do a deep dive through 5 tiers of villainy.--Follow the Weapons on Twitter @Comic_Patrol for some extra tidbits of fun (we maybe promise it isn't dick pics)--

Hero Draft Season 1: Marvel Heroes, Round 3

During a mic check, we ended up getting sidetracked and started discussing the rogues gallery before we were even ready to record it. A little behind the scenes with The Weapons, if you will.

Spider-Man the Animated Series from the mid-90's is always going to hold a special place in our hearts because we grew up with it. The perfect spider-man personality and we can't help but compare other versions of the character to this one.

The first 2 episodes of the second season, we are introduced to the Insidious Six (Sinister wasn't allowed to be used on a kid's show - so says censorship). Add in the fact that Spider-Man is experiencing bouts of losing his powers, he has to take on a group of his rogues at once. This is our bottle cap review of this 2 episode arc.
