In another All-Reader-Request episode, Micheal and Andrew discuss another project they know nothing about. People seem to want us to talk about things of which we have no knowledge – weird. Anyway, this week it’s the turn of the Robots In Disguise, THE TRANSFORMERS, specifically the UK comics. What will [...]

In 1984, Marvel UK embarked upon a unique experiment. An all-new, completely original, UK produced comic strip.

Are Stiletto and Discuss the renegade versions of 80’s action TV show Hardcastle & McCormick? Is Stiletto actually a good name for a villain or does it conjure up images of drunken Essex girls stumbling out of the pub? The jury is still out but after all that DREADFUL BIRTHDAY, [...]

The opening conversations about the current Spider-Man story arc leads to e-mails which question the ages of the different comics companies and how Andrew classifies the Marvel Golden, Silver and Bronze ages which bares no resemblance to how anybody else does it. Then, another in the inexplicably popular series of [...]

Micheal and Andrew jump on the Zombie bandwagon, late, to take a look at a career defining moment for creators Robert ‘That Zombie guy’ Kirkman and Sean “Noir” Phillips as well as providing Marvel with an immediate hit and a constant money well to keep returning to – MARVEL ZOMBIES! [...]
