Divisive Issues

We're in the weeds now, y'all. What we countdowned to last time has arrived. Infinite Crisis! We're talking about the most "important" modern DC event. Is it worth the hype? Does it CHANGE EVERYTHING FOREVER?

Read along: Infinite Crisis by Geoff Johns, Phil Jimenez, George Perez, and Jerry Ordway

On this episode, Phil tries his best to learn about the Speed Force, Sly loves Jaime Reyes but never wants to talk about him again, Ryan spills the beans on who lost their virginity in Ma & Pa Kent's barn, and Darryl learns the two most beautiful words in the English language: Psycho Pirate.

On this episode, the gang takes a patreon request and covers one of their first indie books, Kaijumax by Zander Cannon and published by Oni Press - a gruesome tale of giant monsters in a maximum security prison. Asking the tough questions, like what if we treated giant monsters as badly as we currently treat actual human beings? And what if it was cute to look at?

Read Along: Kaijumax Volume One

Darryl remains in shock at the events in this book, Sly has NO SYMPATHY for one-note debtors, and Ryan really hates the prison system (both real and imaginary) and Phil just wants to watch Pacific Rim again.

Note: An Earlier version of this episode with a missing ending was uploaded previously. This is the fixed one!

On this episode, we revisit Captain Marvel, but only just barely since he isn't called that anymore! Just in time for Shazam! We cover the story that we're pretty sure the movie's based on, his retold origins from the DC reboot.

Read Along: Shazam By Geoff Johns and Gary Frank

Phil's had enough of troubled kids with a heart of gold, Darryl knows who the REAL Santa is, Ryan has more knowledge about tigers in business suits than one might think, and Sly's argues that Superman's outlook is for babies and Black Adam's is for big boys.

We're going to spend the next month tackling one of the most convoluted and messy names in comics! Not Shazam, not Marvelman, but the one (of seven), the ONLY (of seven), CAPTAIN MARVEL! This episode focuses on the Kree warrior, Captain Mar-Vell! What a very different and original name! From his first appearance, through the little boy big boy revamp, all the way to the obviously named Death Of Captain Marvel!

Captain Marvel's First Appearance

The Great Rick Jones Shake Up

Jim Starlin's Captain Marvel

On this episode, Sly attempts to summarize the history of the name Captain Marvel, both in universe and in lawsuits. Phil gets real personal when it comes to his own INEVITABLE death. Darryl strikes some bizarre and wide eyed poses. And Ryan's got a bit of a cold, so he's bringing his nasaliest A-game for you.

For this October, we return back to horror mangaka Junji Ito. For the entire month, we'll be reading his most celebrated work, Uzumaki. A story about how surprisingly creepy spirals can be.

Read along: Uzumaki by Junji Ito

In this episode, Sly is getting a lot of material for his Uzumaki shonen fan fiction. Ryan changes October to Itober while Phil really just wants to leave town. And Darryl just can't stop thinking about Kiari from Kingdom Hearts.

We talk about a book we've been awkwardly avoiding for years, DC's 2004 event: Identity Crisis. This is one of the biggest DC stories we've covered and it's the one that proved just how cynical Alan Moore's influence was. So we should hate it, right? Well...

Read along: Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales' Identity Crisis

On this episode, we dip into the first half of Identity Crisis. We'll finish it next time, don't worry! Ryan's a giant hypocrite who likes this book (but WITH ASTERISKS, HE SWEARS). Darryl finally found a superhero story that he doesn't think is dumb (most of the time). Phil just loves big anime fights. Sly packs this episode with more lore than ever.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! EDGELORD AUGUST! It's time to talk about Mark Millar's Kingsman. So cuckle up, it's time to go for a ride.

We read Kingsman: The Secret Service by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons

On this episode, we get back to our roots and talk about a Millar book with a better movie adaptation. Sly's just a wanker running from the billies. Ryan once again falls victim to fake news and revisionist history. Phil min-maxes his build to get all the ladies. Has Darryl finally replaced Nemesis as his favorite Millar book?

As always, Edgelord August touches upon some serious themes, like severe violence, and violence against women.
