Living Between Wednesdays

This week Rachelle and Dave are sharing some of their favourite single comic book issues. This was a challenging task, but they have each chosen five issues that, for various reasons, are particular favourites.

Also in this episode: thoughts on the first episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, Rachelle's thoughts on the Lego: Ninjago movie, Alex Ross posts something on Instagram and then deletes it, and Dave is READY for Blade Runner 2049!

It's the final week of the Living Between Wednesdays Summer Book Club and Rachelle and Dave are talking about the classic Spider-Man story, Kraven's Last Hunt!

Another installment of the Living Between Wednesdays summer book club, and this week Rachelle and Dave are discussing the 2014 mini-series that re-introduced readers to a whole bunch of Valiant characters. And they did it in the best way possible: by hiring Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt and Paolo Rivera to tell the story.

Also in this episode: Rachelle and Dave went to see The Inhumans in IMAX, and have a few thoughts about that. Plus, Marvel's Secret Empire event wrapped up this past week, and Rachelle's beloved Winter Soldier played a big part! And Dave has been re-reading a bunch of the 1990s Marvel/DC Amalgam comics.

It's week six of the Living Between Wednesdays summer book club and Dave and Rachelle are talking about Who is Wonder Woman? by Allan Heinberg and Terry and Rachel Dodson. It was slow to come out back in 2006/2007, but now that it's all collected it's a delightful Wonder Woman read with beautiful art.

Also in this episode: Rachelle is excited about Boom Studios upcoming comic, Fence, by C.S. Pacat and Johanna the Mad; Dave read a whole pile of comics, including the first issue of DC's Metal, and neither of them have any thoughts on Netflix's The Defenders because they are not watching it. But they both have some thoughts on Joss Whedon.

Rachelle and Dave are joined this week by Sean Jordan, aka The Wordburglar to talk about Marvel's Project Pegasus Saga. They also talk about the latest issue of The Last Paper Route, which is written by Sean and Alex Kennedy, and drawn by Dave!

Also in this episode: it's the triumphant return of Winter Soldier, which means it's also the triumphant return of This Week in Winter Soldier! Also discussed: Mister Miracle #1, this week's Secret Empire events, and yet another comic event (DC's Metal) is spoiled by mainstream media.

Rachelle and Dave are joined by their friend J.Bone to talk about Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer. J is not only a fan, he also has drawn a lot of Rocketeer comics himself, including Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror with Roger Langridge, The Rocketeer and The Spirit with Darwyn Cooke, The Rocketeer at War with Marc Guggenheim and he did the cover and interior illustrations for the prose collection, The Rocketeer: Jet-pack Adventures. So he knows a little something about ol' Cliff Secord.
