This month, we take on another Titan of a name - Kratos. That's right! God of War! Specifically, God of War: Fallen God by Chris Roberson (Art by Tony Parker)

A little bit of a spoiler, this review - much like the book of choice - was fairly short, but we made sure to fill in the gaps with plenty of hot takes and content. We might catch a bit of heat this time, but feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comment section!

Another month, another episode...Or I guess in this case, this month equals a second episode? Remember guys, we do this because we love you, not because we were late in any way, shape, or form.

Anyway, brace yourselves and prepare to bow to the might of Doom! Victor Von Doom, ruler, scientist, sorcerer - powerful beyond all means! 'Even the Gods fall before Doom!'

This month, we take on Doctor Doom: Books of Doom (issues 1-6). The complete origin story of one of the mightiest super villains to date. All in honor of the upcoming Fantastic 4 reboot.

Note: This was also our first live episode, so we apologize for any pets that may have wanted to join in during the recording!

Spirit of the Month:

Vodka. Vodka for Victor Von Doom. Really, anything with Vodka. Hate me later. Cheers!

Sorry y'all! We are aware of how late this one is, but June was not a kind month for us. From losses to scheduling conflicts to unexpected health issues, we've all been on the constant grind. But the studio perseveres, the podcast continues, and our spirits are raised high. Welcome back and enjoy!

This month we read, reviewed, and relished: Head Lopper: The Island or A Plague of Beasts by Andrew MaClean. An awesome action/adventure comic (collection) with incredible art and a tendency to reel you in.

2025 opened up some new doors, including our grand re-launch. We've done it before, and to be fair, we'll probably do it once more, but our journey continues with the first episode of Novel Spirits (previously known as The Comixology Club, and Comics, Comrades, and Cocktails).
A new name, with new faces, and new themes. But whether you're a long-time fan or just joining us for the first time, it's time to grab a drink, take a seat, and join us as we discuss the book of the month!

This month - Vol. 1 of Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion, Werther Delle'edra, and Miguel Muerto

2024 is coming to a close and with it the boys are bringing you another stacked episode. It’s the grand finale of our Year of the Guest! Snoop, Higgins, and Bethany Tilson crack open Books 2 & 3 of Friday by Ed Brubaker, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente. Think mystery, heartbreak, and enough snowy small-town drama to fill a detective’s notebook.

Oh, and heads up—it’s Snoop’s final episode, so expect laughs, maybe a tear (or two), and a send-off worthy of a guy on the internet who did a comic book podcast. Pretty big deal right?

One last ride. One epic discussion. One final issue. Now hit play already and let’s close out the year with a bang! Cue dramatic fade-out…

Who watches the Watchmen? Well, this week, it’s Snoop, Higgins, and their special guest, Z.B. Steele! The trio dives headfirst into Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary graphic novel, Watchmen—a comic so iconic it basically broke the superhero mold (and then set it on fire).

With doomsday clocks ticking away and zero hour quickly approaching, the boys unpack big themes, unforgettable characters, and the endless layers this timeless classic has to offer. We're bringing sharp insights, bold takes, and just the right amount of chaos to keep things interesting. It's true and all so fresh. Don't ask anyone to tell you otherwise. Seriously. Don't.

Now grab your trench coat and set your clocks—this is one episode you don’t want to miss. The end is nigh… or at least the end of this description is.

Add some views to Z.B. Steele's website and check out the cool stuff he's up to!

Whether you're new to the series or a long-time fan, this episode is packed with insight, laughs, and love for all things comics. It's three dudes, five issues, and eighty nine adult films that makes for one kinky little podcast. So please come on in and enjoy the fun!

We’re winding down and down and down into the center of the spiral, but luckily we aren’t alone. Our good friend and repeat cohost, Steve, helps us tackle the last section of the spooky book, Uzumaki. Delving even deeper into a masterpiece brought to you by the twisted mind of Junji Ito, we bring back old ideas, spin through crazy escape attempts, and even tackle the new tv adaptation. Twist your mind and join us on this dizzying adventure!

The boys are zipping and flying into the miasma with games expert himself, Willem Delventhal. We get into the world of Miyazaki’s Nausicaa Valley of the Wind where we talk about pollution and keeping violence out of your problem solving. On top of everything we find out that Higgins is terrible at video games, but also maybe a good gauge of what a game developer is looking for. Dive on in on your glider and see what other nonsense we get into!
