Matt and Damian do their best to dig into the complexities of character and theme in Batman: White Knight, from DC's new Black Label line, written and drawn by Sean Murphy with color art by Matt Hollingsworth.

Later the conversation veers into Spiderman and on into Dan Slott's current Fantastic Four before fading away into total silliness....

In this episode of Never Stay Dead Matt and Damian focus on some issues of Marvel's What If series; starting with the recent What If Flash Thompson Became Spider-Man scripted by Gerry Conway and continuing on to a bunch of new and old What If stories...along the way we ended up discussing the Marvel Universe and the meaning of Stan Lee and his influence.

Excelsior!

This episode is a non-cononcial Never Stay Dead Extra. This conversation was recorded as a live hangout on the SleepyReader666 youtube channel and as it is rather lengthy, but hopefully fun to listen to, seemed worthy of a podcast episode. Damian and the ever awesome Eric, host of the Longbox Review podcast dug deep into their thoughts and love for current and upcoming DC projects.

This time Matt and Damian chat about (and digress from) Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity written and drawn by Matt Wagner with magnificent color by Dave Stewart. This comic originally came out in three thick prestige format issues in 2003 and is now also available in physical and digital collected editions.

Welcome to our 8th episode where we delve into the mysteries of Silver Age Fantastic Four. This time it's the classic first appearances of Galactus and the Silver Surfer in a three issue story nicknamed the Galactus Trilogy by fans. This was Matt's first time reading these classic issues and for Damian it was roughly his 6th read through since discovering this story in reprint issues in the early 70's. The conversation wanders off on many tangents and diversions.
