Living Between Wednesdays

Rachelle and Dave name some iconic duos this week! They are listing their favourite recurring comic book creative teams.

Also in this episode: new X-Men teams, more Black Panther casting news, Buckaroo Banzai news that is already irrelevant, and Rachelle has very strong feelings about the romance of Black Widow and Winter Soldier.

Rachelle and Dave are healing themselves with laughter this week. Things have been kinda bleak lately, in case you haven't noticed, so they are discussing their favourite humour comics, old and new.

Also in this episode: The Inhumans television series that no one asked for, Dave saw Arrival, Rachelle watched Civil War (again), and Mitchell returns to the podcast to pitch some ideas for Bizarro superheroes.

Well...

...comic books don't seem so important all of a sudden, but Rachelle and Dave are gonna try to talk about them anyway! It just might be interspersed with some angry statements, confused and bewildered feelings, and barely concealed terror. But other than that, they discuss the return of Young Justice, DC's denial of plans for a Frank Cho Wonder Woman comic, and other very important things to take your mind off the nightmare we all find ourselves in now.

In these troubled times, we turn to superheroes, and Dave has some comic book recommendations if you are looking for inspiration.

Dave and Rachelle saw Doctor Strange and they liked it! The second half of this episode has lots of spoilers for that movie.

Also in this episode: Frank Cho and Milo Manara are the real heroes, The Flash loses another director, Jeremy Renner would still totally be into a Hawkeye Netflix series, Sebastian Stan might be growing a beard, and, also, comic books are discussed.

Rachelle and Dave finally finished watching Netflix's LUKE CAGE and they have some thoughts. Warning that the last thirty minutes or so of this episode contains a lot of spoilers for that show.

Also in this episode: MOCKINGBIRD has been cancelled and men everywhere can rest safe knowing that their enemy has been slain, new possible directors for DEADPOOL, Rachelle continues to fall deeper in love with HydraCap, and Dave is cautiously optimistic about an upcoming STAR TREK: TNG/ALIENS crossover comic.

After a week off, the Living Between Wednesdays podcast is back! Dave has spent much of the past couple of weeks watching scary movies, and he is going to tell Rachelle all about them.

Also in this episode: the tragic and unexpected death of Steve Dillon, new trailers for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Logan, Chris Samnee's amazing BuckyNat cover for Black Widow no.10, Deadpool 2 loses its director, Wonder Woman becomes a UN Ambassador, Donald Glover becomes Lando Calrissian, and Rachelle continues to not understand the behaviour of Sebastian Stan fans.

This week Rachelle and Dave are once again joined by their friend Sean Jordan, aka Wordburglar! They discuss all sorts of things, like Peter David's hatred of the Romani people, Stan Lee's cure for racism, Luke Cage, Betty Boop, Gideon, the Iron Fist trailer, the Ninjak trailer, the Inhumans, Malibu Comics, The Jackal, and...how does Jeff Lemire write so many comics?

All this plus a lot of talk about the comics they read this week! Always a fun time hanging out with Sean! Check out his new music video, Channel Halifax!

Sometimes comic book creators fight. Sometimes those fights become public knowledge. Sometimes evidence of those fights show up in comic books. This week, Dave shares some great examples.

Also in this episode: Luke Cage is on Netflix! Wonder Woman is bisexual (of course)! And...there are so many Captain America-related comics out this week! 

With the plethora of superhero movies and television shows being made these days, there are a lot of new fans of the characters. But where to start with some of these characters if a new fan wants to make the leap to comics? Dave and Rachelle have some suggestions! This week they suggest starting point comics for new fans of Captain America, Superman, Iron Man, Wolverine and Wonder Woman.

Also in this episode: Sam Neill is going to be in Thor: Ragnarok! Doctor Strange is going to be in Infinity War! Luke Cage is going to be on Netflix this week! Bucky is going to be in Black Widow! Uh, rather...Bucky is going to appear in the Black Widow comic!

Dave has a list of unrealized super hero projects that we wants to talk about. Things like Superman 2000, Captain America 2099 and Iron Man 2099, Twilight of the Superheroes, and Tom Mankiewicz's lost Batman movie.

Rachelle is happy to contribute to that conversation. She also offers a very short This Week in Winter Soldier segment. Also discussed: Batman Day, Spawn 2, the Chris Evans/Martin Shkreli feud, and this past week's comics!
