Living Between Wednesdays

This week Rachelle and Dave are joined by the co-creators of Grandway Comics, a brand new line of classic superhero adventure comics, printed on newsprint in glorious full colour! The very talented Halifax-based team of Jeff Knott and Derek Jessome share the art and writing duties on all three of their current titles, and they talk about what inspired them to self-publish their own line of print comics.

It's 2019 and Rachelle and Dave are keeping it positive! This week they run down some comic books, and related movies and tv series, that they are looking forward to this year. They also finally get around to addressing the fact that Stan Lee is no longer with us.

Happy New Year! Rachelle and Dave come back after a couple of months off to talk about the Aquaman and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movies, which are both in theatres now. Crazy!

This episode kicks off a new "season" of the Living Between Wednesdays podcast, which will continue until the release of Avengers: Endgame. Then they will break again for a bit and come back with a bunch of exciting new episodes. Enjoy!

A combination of way too many time commitments, the comic book industry/fandom bumming them out, and having other creative projects that need attention, Rachelle and Dave are making this their last episode for a few months.

But they will be back and better than ever!

In this episode, they discuss why they need to take a break, their general feelings about comics right now, what comics they are excited about, and the future plans for this podcast. And also Chris Evans is talked about.

Rachelle and Dave are making good on their promise/threat from last week by talking about comic book annuals this episode!

Also: farewell to Norm Breyfogle and Carlos Ezquerra; a first look at the new Hellboy movie (in poster form); Tom Hardy's favourite FORTY MINUTES of Venom were cut; Henry Cavill embarks on a spiritual Instagram journey, and Chris Evans reads Kanye West for filth.

Since we all got a look at Batman's dong this week in the first issue of Batman: Damned, this week Rachelle and Dave are talking about what this means for the future of mature content in superhero comics. And also about dongs.

Also in this episode: the first Captain Marvel trailer, the announcement of an Eternals movie, the announcement of Marvel limited television series featuring Scarlet Witch and Loki, and a look ahead at this week's comics.

This week on the podcast Rachelle and Dave are looking back at all existing Superman and Batman movies, and are talking about what those movies got right and wrong about the characters. They also share what they would like to see in future Superman and Batman films.

Also in this episode: a Winter Soldier comic series gets announced (finally), Chelsea Cain's Vision series gets abruptly cancelled, and a look ahead at this week's comic releases.

Rachelle and Dave are wrapping up their summer book club with Marvel's 1991 event, The Infinity Gauntlet. It was a bit of a slog, to be honest.

Also in this episode, Gail Simone feuds with Rob Schneider (as you would expect), official photos of Captain Marvel and Doom Patrol, and the return of This Week in Winter Soldier!

This week Rachelle and Dave discuss the first book in Faith Erin Hicks' Nameless City trilogy (actually, to be honest, Rachelle went ahead and read the second book too). The third book is out from First Second on Sept 25!

Also this week, the comics industry loses two legends, Rachelle gets a great birthday present, and Rachelle and Dave get excited for Border Town, the first release from DC's new era of Vertigo.

This week the summer book club continues with 1982's The Untold Legend of the Batman by Len Wein, Jim Aparo and John Byrne. Also in this episode: our pal Marsha leads the (long overdue) public attack on ComicsGate, Marvel announces the creative team for the new Conan series, Dave pays tribute to Russ Heath, and Robert Downey Jr buys Chris Evans a car.
