This time around Matt and Damian put on "The Hood" a 2002 mini-series from writer Brian K. Vaughan and artists Kyle Hotz & Eric Powell. This was originally published under Marvel's Max imprint, their line for mature readers only. We do spoil the story during the course of our conversation.

This episode was recorded live over Youtube, so apologies in advance for a reduction in audio quality. We may have also been a bit distracted by the live comments coming through from our youtube audience.

This time Matt and Damian chew on Frank Miller's Ronin, his first book after being given total freedom by DC Comics way back in 1983.

In this episode Matt and Damian try probe the meaning of Mister Miracle by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. For some reason we can't stop taking pokes against Mr. King.

This episode was recorded before the last two episodes, which is why you hear us talking as if our last show was the one on Identity Crisis.

This time around Matt and Damian argue the merits or lack of merits of Jonathan Hickmans epic retcon or reboot of the X-Men in his braided mini-series House of X and Powers of X.

A rather lengthy chat between Damian and Matt about the highlights of the two thousand teens decade in comic books. We try to identify personal favorites and important creations and movements of the past ten years, a task that we may or may not be up to. Happy New Year Everyone.

This time around we take a run at two graphic novels with almost identical titles: "Man and Superman" by Wolfman and Castelini and "Mann and Superman" by Michael T. Gilbert. To be honest, most of the episode is devoted to the more recent Wolfman and Catelini version.

This time around Matt and Damian dive deep into the 7 chapter graphic novel Identity Crisis from DC comics.

This time around Matt and Damian do their best to grasp a hold of the gradual shift in mainstream superhero comics that seemed to begin when Frank Miller took over the writing in Daredevil number 168. We take a close look at Daredevil 168 -173 and discuss the rest of Miller's historic run on the character in more general ways.
