#ThisOnesForShawn

In a day of highs and lows, Andrew and Micheal drop by to discuss THE FORCE AWAKENS.

SPOILERS!!!!!

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Mr Shawn Engel and the entire Leyland family wish to express their sincere condolences to Shawn’s family.

Micheal & Andrew are back with a 2 part winter special! In this episode it’s all about the Infinite Crisis! Starting with the Countdown and burning forth, there’s a look at the first 3 issues of the series proper with a few divergents to the (many) mini-series that took place on the sidelines. There’s even page by page comparisons between the original comics and the heavily altered collections. So, start your December of with an ALL-NEW EPISODE of HEY KIDS, COMICS!

Micheal and Andrew are back! For one week only, a return engagement for the Lovable Northern Chancers. In this, the first of the special reunion episodes, Micheal and Andrew look at a couple of horror books in celebration of BONFIRE NIGHT! Yes, you can keep yer Halloween, burning people in effigy is where its at! So sit back and listen as they marvel at the blatant copyright infringement of KOLCHAK THE NIGHT STALKER making a guest appearance in TOMB OF DRACULA #44. Then, it’s a quick visit by the HOUSE OF SECRETS to see how JOHN CONSTANTINE celebrates November 5th. It’s a short but perfectly formed return to what we laughably refer to as greatness.

It’s here! The 250th and FINAL regular episode of Hey Kids, Comics! Be witness to more Self-Indulgent Twaddle, inappropriate jokes and outright silliness one last time as 2 Northern Chancers at least try to get it right before the curtain falls.

Have no fear – Micheal and Andrew will return in THE RISE OF HEY KIDS, COMICS!

It’s the penultimate episode of Hey Kids, Comics! but the end of the trail for Jesse Custer. Yes, PREACHER climaxes as it begin – in blood. Does it all end happily for Jesse, Tulip, Herr Starr, Cassidy and The Saint Of Killers? Or is it The Wild Bunch all over again? Join Micheal and Andrew as they find out.

WARNING! This episode is more adult than usual because we’re talking about Preacher! Not that adult though. There’s still some fart gags.

Andrew & Micheal raise a glass to Tommy Monaghan and the crew at Noonan’s. It’s the end of the road for the HITMAN!

In which Micheal and Andrew look at two of the greatest creations of writer Warren Ellis, THE AUTHORITY and PLANETARY and ask, “how does a team up between them work?” Answer? Listen to the show. After that, a darker version of PLANETARY take on the JLA in a world where the JLA don’t exist. So it’s 2, count them, 2 Non-team ups for the price of one.

Two off-beat examples of the prestige format this week as Micheal and Andrew look at two oft-forgotten gems. First up, a long thought lost NEIL GAIMAN script resurfaces and is presented with a stellar array of artistic talent in SUPERMAN/GREEN LANTERN – LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME! Then, a fan offers JOHN BYRNE one of those really obvious ideas that nobody ever thought of in GALACTUS/DARKSEID THE HUNGER!
