  • The Power of Shazam, Vol. 1 (Ep.54)
    The Men of Steel boys Case and Jmike are back, and we're discussing a true '90's gem. THE POWER OF SHAZAM by Jerry Ordway debuted as a graphic novel introduction to the the World's Mightiest Mortal from DC Comics, and a widely successful 40+ issue run followed. Here we cover the GC and the first 12 issues (which are collected in a recently released hardcover)!

  • All-New Wolverine (Ep. 53)
    It's been too long my friends, and we're finally back in the saddle! Of course there was only one way to properly bring the show back: discuss one of Tom Taylor's best comics with my Tom Taylor Cult comrades Alex Lavelle and Angela "Bones" Bullock. That comic is ALL-NEW WOLVERINE, which brings Laura Kinney into the role of the Wolverine, and pits her against evil corporations, Fin Fang Foom, possible futures, space viruses, fascism, and old foes. All this while trying to keep her family together and make sure they don't stab each other too often along the way.

It's magical mystery meets rekindling romance! Hell yeah!

  • Klaus: How Santa Claus Began (Ep. 5.03)
    Case Aiken makes his return to the show, and we're talking more Grant Morrison, along with a dose of Dan Mora; that's right, we're talking KLAUS: HOW SANTA CLAUS BEGAN! How best to describe this 7 issue series? Think the origins of Santa Claus, told as a 17th century shamanic superhero. I know, it's even cooler than it sounds.

  • MQ #8: Nameless (Ep. 4.08)
    The one and only Meg Griffin (Judging Book Covers, Minds At Yeerk) joins the MorrisonQuest to discuss "Nameless"! This six issue miniseries with from Morrison and artist Chris Burnham is a doozy, dealing with religion, philosophy, and horror on a level that this host readily admits they don't fully understand...but that doesn't mean we don't have a good time!

  • MQ #7: Annihilator (Ep. 4.07)
    Writer and producer Adam Lance Garcia wanders over to the CQ office to discuss Morrison and Frazer Irving's "Annihilator"! We get into Star Wars, Adam's work on The Green Lama, and why we love the subjectivity of art.
