The episode that almost wasn’t! After a file mixup, Dezi edited down to the wire and for that, we salute him. Today, we cover the classic Teen Titans story, The Judas Contract. Marv Wolfman and Gerorge Perez create one of DCs most definitive arcs without any of its heavy hitting characters. This story created some famous characters, ended others, and help propel the Teen Titans to the status they still retain today.

What would you do if mysterious babies with powers were all born at the exact same moment all over the world? You’d adopt them and build a pre-pubescent superhero team, of course! This episode we cover Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance fame) and Gabriel Ba. We follow the story of an estranged super family trying to pick up the pieces of their shattered childhoods all while saving the world. It’s got romance, intrigue, violence, and that classic MCR theatrics. Tune in to hear how we liked it.

It’s Davis’s favorite issue: the PENULTIMATE issue. The origin of unstabilium is revealed and it is other-worldly. If the unstabilium tide is not pushed back, the world will forever be stuck in a state of cartoony chaos. Our heroes devise a death-defying plan to try to save the world, but will it work? Tune in to find out!

Cheers!

Behold! The Vault has been re-opened. Due to Comic Con (video and audio!) we did not quite have enough time to record another episode...but fear not! We recorded Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe and held off just for this occasion! Join us as we join "the merc with a mouth" on his deadly rampage across space and time. Mayhem, murder, and maniacal machinations abound in this violent and bloody romp. 

Warning: This book is insanely graphic and pulls no punches.

We’ve reached the second half of this wacky miniseries. The flight team of Zee and Uncle have closed in on Dick and Mutt despite the intermittent outburst of Zee’s “hay-ulps” wavering the confidence of Uncle. General Harrier is brought before a Senate committee to answer for his participation in the unstabilium catastrophe, and the infection spreads to the earth itself causing a very dramatic change.

Dr. Donny returns for a very special episode. We revisit our first episode ever by continuing into Saga Vol. 2. We had such fun talking about vol. 1 the first time around, we decide to make these reviews with Donny a regular occurrence. Where volume 1 dealt with being new parenthood and how it can sometimes feel like war, volume 2 of Saga dives into the concept of racism and prejudice and the over-coming power of love. We had a lot of fun recording this one so load it up and find out how the lives of Alana, Marko, and Hazel further unfold in the world of Saga. 

You can find Donny (and some awesome blog posts) at his website.
