Counter Culture Comic Podcast

Every so often, Brock and Nick indulge in a little nostalgia. Brock swears he was reading Battle Angel Alita in 1992 but Wikipedia says the manga was released in the US in 1995. Nick didn’t read the comic then, but watched the anime in 1999 (one of his first Amazon purchases). So, this week’s comic... View Article

When Brock and Nick say they review indie comics, sometimes that definition gets stretched. Sometimes it is also stretched so far that it is an almost unrecognizable rule. This week’s comic book podcast is less than indie. It is, in fact, very un-indie. It’s The Punisher. Why The Punisher? That’s because it’s Garth Ennis’ Punisher... View Article

Nick and Brock dive into the new Marvel TV series to discuss the less consistent wing of the live action MCU. Of course, they also talk DC’s mirror opposite problem of somewhat more consistent TV and then thinking that making a Joker movie is a good idea. We Stand On Guard is the target of... View Article

Restraint is a too often overlooked contributor to a quality work and this week Brock and Nick read a work that seems like it could have gone the road they expected, but . . . And that comic be God Country. They also catch up with a little bit of Spider-Man Homecoming and would also... View Article

Brock and Nick were both nervously awaiting Wonder Woman’s arrival to the big screen. It’s now here, and it’s good so we can all just pretend that the cinematic DCU just started. Also, because they like to remain topical, Logan gets a quick review. The comic review for this week is Scalped from Vertigo. This... View Article

Somewhere within this comic book podcast episode is a conversation about Paper Girls from Brian K. Vaughan and another look at Scurry from Mac Smith. Yes, honestly, there is. That talk is buried somewhere between pizza and root beer floats. Paper Girls is written by Brian K. Vaughan of Saga fame. Saga has certainly been... View Article

So Brock and Nick took a slight break but they are back! Ok, maybe not quite so slight. Somehow after this the long break from the comic book podcast, Brock decided to have them review The Flintstones. The suggestion seemed pretty weird but the world is petty weird right now and in this new, weird,... View Article

Having covered most of the news they cared about in episode 79, in this episode Brock and Nick blather about random news, origins of Marvel comics and eventually just to annoy each other. They did fit in a review, though. This is another trip in the somewhat way back machine. Before millennials were born is... View Article
