  • Superman: For All Seasons [Arc Analysis #103]

    There's a new Superman movie coming out! And on top of that, we did some research: One of the biggest inspirations for the new flick (although not the MAIN one, but still), For All Seasons, has now joined our list of Arc Analysis runs (essentially our own book club).

    Now, if you know us, we claim Superman is one of the hardest characters to write well because of his powerset, but when a writing team gets it, it can truly make you a fan. And this time of Loeb and Sale, do they get it? Well, you have to listen in with us if you want to know.

    • #109 - Inferno

      With the Trials of X now behind us, we move forwards into the fiery twists of Inferno!

      The end of the Hickman penned portion of the Krakoan era, the deepest and craziest secrets come to light, from Moira to Omega Sentinel to Mystique and even Krakoa itself, alliances and relationships will be forever changed.

      In this episode, we cover Inferno #1-4, but we talk a lot about certain characters and where things could go from here, and what it means to lose Hickman's pen at this point in time for the world of mutants.

    • #108.1 - Trials of X (Part 2)

      HOX POX DOX!! ITS A XbyX EPISODE!!!!

      We return to cover the long celebrated X-Men Krakoa era

      We're back on the Jonathan Hickman train, and we're waking back up to the world we almost forgot. As you can tell both Coke and Dank have spent countless hours following the Krakoan crew, through fire, magic and now in Beast's brain. So its easy to say we're back to finish what we started.

      This ain't X of Swords, this ain't Reign of X, This is (more of) Trials of X!... 

      In this episode, we take a look at these 6 titles with Marvel Guide reading order

        • Phoenix Song: Echo #1-5
        • Marauders #24-27
        • SWORD #8-11
        • Wolverine #17-19
        • X-Force #21-26
        • Excalibur #22-26
        • If you want the complete picture, don't forget to check out our first part to this portion of the Krakoan era of X-Men, and if you want to read along too, that's dope... But we suggest maybe skipping Phoenix Song: Echo if you don't want to bail before we even get started... Thanks TRIAL of X (part II)

            • #107 - DSTLRY II

              It not often we get a chance to read comics from the ground up, but we lucked out with DSTLRY and their new brand imprint.

              Still the brainchild of David Steinberger and Chip Mosher, in May 2023. This is the house that has given artist and writers a fresh perspective, setting themselves up as the house that writers built:

              "focus on ethics, creator empowerment, and equity. Along with up-front participation by the founding creators, DSTLRY sets aside an additional 3% of company equity to be distributed among the creators who have projects released within the first three years. This equity will be distributed based of performance of titles"

              So what sells gets paid more. Seems simple right? Well in DSTLRY(episode) we said yes.

              We've since come back to the cutting edge studio to see the 2nd round of titles that have released to the marketplace. We also check some Issue 2's to see if those titles went Boom, Bah or Whoosh from where we last left off. 

              So buckle up as Coke n Dank give you the rundown of all the new books under this studio house, from paid, to laid, to shade, everything gets a look! 

              The series:

              • The City Beneath Her Feet #1
              • Defiant - #0 issue
              • Endeavour - #0 issue
              • Warm Fusion #1
              • You Won’t Feel a Thing #1
              • We return for Issue #2:

                • Somna
                • The Blood Brothers Mother
                • Gone
                • Life 
                • The Missionary
                • Time Waits
                • White Boat
                • No, "-ing" is not typically considered an adverb in English grammar. 22:49 - you're wrong Dank !

                • Deadly Class Vol 3: The Snake Pit [Arc Analysis #101]

                  The very first Arc Analysis episode we did was for Volume 1 of a wonderful book called Deadly Class. It took us 62 Arc Analysis comic reviews, before we'd circle back to the kids of the King's Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts, and it didn't disappoint. 

                  We are back for the 3rd instalment of the undeniable feverish pairing of pen Rick Remender and ink explosions of Wes Craig

                  This is the continued-continued misadventures of a high schooler assassins, and it's very 80's appeals. (no cellphones can save them, cause they don't exist!)

                  How are Marcus and Maria escaping the consequences of Chico?

                  How does Saya and Willy deal with the fallout of the plan gone haywire? Can Marcus handle the news he doesn't know? and will he befriend Petra to help him make sense of the lunchroom politics of high-school ? What is really going on in that school, and what new characters are joining the mix? Watch those corners, you never know who's listening in the King's Dominion!

                  Buckle in  We got you covered, sawft cheezes and nu meatz - WE ON PATROL.

                  Vol.2 Deadly Class - Kids of the Black Hole

                  • Kingdome Come [Arc Analysis #100]

                    Well Numeatz & Sawftcheezes we made it!

                    The Comic Patrol celebrates their 100th Arc Analysis, and what better way would we celebrate than reviewing the 4 issue iconic pairing of Mark Waid and Alex Ross in Kingdom Come.

                    Arguably one of DC's greatest "elsewhere" books. It discusses themes of morality, changing landscapes, old batman, and a terribly named villain - MAGOG! MYGAWD. 

                    Buckle in fans, as we go in, and dont sugar coat what Kingdom Come means to us.

                    We also take some time to give a nod to favourite Arc Analysis (AA) from the past 100 booms
