It’s an episode long in the making. Well, 2 weeks. It’s an episode asked for by YOU! Well, if you asked for it. It’s a chance for Micheal & Andrew to display their complete ignorance on a topic. As usual. Yes, it’s an episode all about GI JOE!!!! In issues HAND-PICKED by listeners (#21 and 34), Mike and Andrew explore the whole Joe phenomenon and compare it to Action Man, insert a sound bed of cool synth soundtracks and generally pretend they know what they are banging on about. So now you know!

A startling change to the format of the show is mooted by an emailer before the inevitable digression. After that, Michel and Andrew explore a Marvel that was on the cusp on the 90’s as their look at the adventures of the Cosmically-Enhanced Spider-Man concludes.

Did Batman REALLY kill The Joker at the end of The Killjng Joke? Is Brian Singer’s return to the X-Men franchise really a good thing? Do Andrew and Micheal even care about Ben Affleck? 2 of these questions will be answered before Andrew delves deep into his comic book collection to produce a Spider-Man crossover so epic, so lauded, so jam packed with important STATUS QUO changing events, it will be hailed as a classic from here on in – THE AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, COSMIC SPIDER-MAN. Yes, Spider-Man gets involved in the ACTS OF VENGEANCE, a story so unimportant he never even finds out what’s going on! But who cares about all that? DOOM is in the house. So I think it would be in all your interests to listen. If nothing else, there are some good promos.

Time to delve into the bulging sack once more dear friends, for an episode devoted to addressing the concerns of the lovely listeners. I would like to tell you what topics await herein but why spoil the surprise? In addition – for this is no mere EMAIL episode released by lazy podcasters enjoying their summer holiday – No, this episode includes a State Of The Comics Address were Micheal and Andrew look at all the good stuff currently being published by the majors and the indies.

Micheal and Andrew FINALLY get around to covering the 1980’s Chris Claremont/Frank Miller Wolverine series AFTER Back To The Bins already covered it! The moral of this story – don’t procrastinate.

It’s here! 2 hours of you asking questions and the entire family answering them! Plus, outtakes, A NEW OPENING, comic book chat and a week off editing and making notes! It’s all win.

Dateline:2013 – Micheal and Andrew delve into the physics of time travel and journey back and forth between today and 1980, bringing with them 2 of the finest comic books ever forged – Uncanny X-Men 141 and 142. They will inevitably meander onto other topics such as The Terminator, James Cameron, The Outer Limits, Harlan Ellison, Back To The Future and Andrew will confuse a past US President with a current day UK comedian. Their names are similar, all right! There is also a SPOILER FILLED discussion of Age Of Ultron (the comic not Avengers 2) somewhere you may want to avoid if you haven’t read that series.

Andrew and Micheal read emails and then talk about Nightwing Year One for about an hour and a half. What? You want more? Oh, OK. With Dan DiDio talking about putting a target on young Dick Grayson (again!), we decided to look at the post-crisis, post Zero Hour, Pre Nu52 6 issue mini series within a series from Nightwing 101 – #106 by Chuck Dixon, Scott Beatty, Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens. Along the way, Dick’s fashion sense is questioned, his horn dog status reaffirmed and we ponder what a Matt Murdock/Dick Grayson crossover would be like.

There is no game talk in this episode, instead Micheal and Andrew get back to discussing the first of the Marvel Colours Trilogy, Daredevil – Yellow. It’s pretty damn good so if you haven’t already go and read a copy before we yak about it and ruin it for you. As usual, there is some email silliness, contributions from listeners and the patented general buffoonery. And a special shout out to Thomas Deja.

This week Micheal wrests control of the microphone to continue to wax lyrical about Metal Gear Solid. Issues 7-12 of the comic adaptation and more about the games. Andrew watches, infuriated by the gameplay.
