April 17, 2020 Indie Comics Spotlight: Something is Killing the Children (BOOM! Studios)
This week Tony is joined by the smooth talking voice of The Spinner Rack over at the DC Comics News Podcast, creator and owner of Seth Singleton Storyteller Seth Singleton.
This week Tony and Seth go deep talking about the first arc of Boom! Studios Something is Killing the Children.
GLAAD Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (Justice League, Batman: Detective Comics) teams with artist Werther Dell’Edera (Briggs Land) for a limited series about staring into the abyss to find your worst fears staring back.
When the children of Archer’s Peak Wisconsin begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. Most children never return, but the ones that do have terrible stories—impossible stories of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows.
Their only hope of finding and eliminating the threat is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to see what they can see.
Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it MUST be done.

April 15, 2020 Mandatory Marvel & DC Ep4: Guardian Devil Review
It is time for episode 4 of Mandatory Marvel & DC, a brand new show for the Comics In Motion network that looks back at the very biggest and best stories from the annals of the Big 2 - Marvel and DC!
Each episode, Max Byrne will be joined by a special guest to enjoy a chat about that week's subject matter, talking about what we love about these top tier titles!
For this instalment, we look back at the Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada classic Daredevil storyline, Marvel’s Guardian Devil. Released as eight issues (Daredevil (vol. 2) #1-#8) from 1998 to 1999. This is one of many great Daredevil runs and sees Matt broken down and questioning whether he’s left caring for the Messiah or the Antichrist. Chock full of religious and adult themes, this story is a good jumping on point for anyone who hasn’t ventured into Matt Murdock’s world.

April 08, 2020 Mandatory Marvel & DC Ep3: X-Men - God Loves, Man Kills Review
It is time for episode 3 of Mandatory Marvel & DC, a brand new show for the Comics In Motion network that looks back at the very biggest and best stories from the annals of the Big 2 - Marvel and DC!
Each episode, Max Byrne will be joined by a special guest to enjoy a chat about that week's subject matter, talking about what we love about these top tier titles!
For this third instalment, we look back at the masterpiece that is X-Men - God Loves, Man Kills. Released as a graphic novel in 1982, this seminal work by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson has never felt more relevant than it does today. Serving as the primary inspiration for the 2003 movie X-Men 2, this is a book that puts a spotlight on bigotry, racism, prejudice and religion. An awful lot to unpack within the pages of this classic title.
This week, Max is joined by the amazing Tony Farina, host of the amazing Indie Comics Spotlight show and an incredibly prolific writer, as we discuss the themes of this masterpiece comic book title.
If you want to get in touch with Max about comics or to suggest any future shows, please say to him on Twitter @maxybyrne. You can read his reviews of all kinds of content at www.dcworld.org.uk, www.darknightnews.com, www.fantasticuniverses.com, www.earth9dc.com and www.getyourcomicon.com

March 30, 2020 TV & Movie Reviews: Bloodshot (2020)

Ray Garrison, an elite soldier who was killed in battle, is brought back to life by an advanced technology that gives him the ability of super human strength and fast healing. With his new abilities, he goes after the man who killed his wife, or at least, who he believes killed his wife. He soon comes to learn that not everything he learns can be trusted. The true question is: Can he even trust himself?
Review Scores:
IMDB: 5.7/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 29/100%

March 29, 2020 Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 2: Darth Maul Beyond The Phantom Menace
This week Mike talks about the notorious Darth Maul and his life before & after The Phantom Menace, including his training before TPM, how he survived being cut in half, his involvement in The Clone Wars, a brief explanation on his appearances in Solo and Rebels, all intertwined with his appearances in comics. Clone Wars S7 is not mentioned in this and no spoilers for SW Rebels are mentioned either - for the best listening, watch The Phantom Menace and a light recommendation would be to watch Clone Wars & Star Wars Rebels however this is not imperative.
Comics discussed are; Darth Maul (Cullen Bunn & Luke Ross), Age Of Republic: Darth Maul (Jody Houser & Luke Ross), Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir (Jeremy Barlow & Juan Frigeri) & the Legends comic Darth Maul: Death Sentence (Tom Taylor & Bruno Redondo).
