  • Comic Previews Podcast: Absolute DC, Marvel Events, and Image #1s We’re Watching
    The episode reviews upcoming comic previews with an emphasis on what the hosts are most excited to read next year across Marvel, DC, and Image. On the Marvel side, they discuss Queen in Black and the muted hype around a larger “Armageddon” build, a post-Ultimate storyline featuring Miles Morales safeguarding “origin boxes,” facsimile and Epic Collection reprints, Star Wars one-shots tied to Rogue One characters, and interest in a new Daredevil run featuring law professor Matt Murdock. They also break down confusion and eventual appreciation for a new Captain America approach that shifts Steve Rogers’ awakening to the Desert Storm era and sets up Ross and Doom-related tensions. DC highlights include anticipation for Absolute Batman #20 with a redacted Robin reveal, new Absolute launches like Absolute Catwoman and Absolute Green Arrow, Absolute Superman introducing King Shazam, the final issue of Absolute Martian Manhunter, and reactions to delays and structure around Batman: Hush. Image callouts include an upcoming Energon special and a new series about lonely robots after humanity’s extinction.
