Welcome back to Comic Talk Today! It may be a holiday in the US, but that doesn't stop Martin from talking about some of the books he read from last week's new comic book day. On the agenda for today ii is Delta 13, Shadowman #3, The Flash #47, Hit-Girl #4, The Dead Hand #2, Animosity #14, Skyward #2, TMNT Urban Legends #1, Infinity Countdown: Darkhawk #1, and Star Wars...I mean Black Panther #1...in space!

In this episode, Dave and Michael give their initial reactions to Solo: A Star Wars Story after their second viewing.  They try to keep it only mildly spoilery and attempt to stay clear of the big reveals in the movie. Be warned!  Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

The boys are back in town! Martin, Ronnie and Travis all get together to discuss three books this week. They deep dive into #BrothersDracul number 2, Her Infernal Descent number 2 and Animosity  number 14. What happens when humans build a wall? Who does Travis bet that shows up in the next issue of HID? What will finally push Vlad over the edge? Listen in and see what the guys say about each book as they deep dive into a lively discussion!

Welcome back everyone!  This week, the guys are working on a deadline after making an impromptu last-minute decision to go see a late showing of Deadpool 2!  This won't stop them from diving DEEP into a few shows though, like the season finales of Timeless Agents of SHIELD and The Blacklist, as well as the regularly scheduled episode of The Flash and a very confusing episode of Westworld!  Come let their voices titillate your sound receptacles!

On this week's dose of insanity, Aaron (@AaronSBell) and Ronnie (@Ronbar316) stay totally on topic while talking about the second issue of Justice League No Justice.  Does this issue draw the guys into the story more?  Is it possible to have made them even less interested in the series?  They also catch up on Sideways and Damage, while starting the New Challengers.  To wrap things up, they talk about the DC TV cancellations and renewals before talking about what they hope will be available on the DC streaming service (as well as pitching a few ideas of their own).You can tweet the show directly @DC_Absolute with any questions, comments, or concerns.

It is time for another installment of therapy Thursday on Comic Talk Today so this week, Ben Kahn, creator and writer of Shaman and Heavenly Blues joins Martin to talk comics and the awesomeness that is the Justice League movie (come at us!). We dive deep into Heavenly Blues, his latest work from Scout Comics and discuss inspirations, character development, growing as a writer, religious themes and so much more! Plus, the ultimate Justice League trivia challenge!

Michael checks in this week to go into greater detail on some books he's just finished, some books he's reading now, and some books he plans to read!  Some of them include:  A.G. Riddle's The Atlantis Gene, Joe Hill's Locke & Key, James S.A. Corey's Caliban's War, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, Charles Portis' True Grit, and Jim Butcher's Grave Peril.  And he takes a look at a recently released list of the Top 100 Stories of All Time.  Enjoy the show and tell a friend it you do!

In this episode, I finally get back to Rob's Recommendations, plus an oversized segment of SPARKY DEMANDS ANSWERS!

On this episode of Comic Talk Today, it's the news! Martin talks about the resurrection of Supergirl and her spiffy new costume, the cancellation of Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps and why it will have lasting repercussions for the DC universe, Comixology's Twitch announcement teaser, and of course, Mark Millar's announcement that Magic Order will receive no second printings and whether or not that's a good thing. Plus, the comic predictor!

Dennis and Jay discuss the May Previews catalog for comics released in July.
