Ongoing Comicbook Discussion Podcast

Welcome to OCD’s first day of 31 days of horror! Each day for 31 days, Tess is bringing you spooky, fun, and witchy horror comic and comic movie reviews! Today, Tess is joined by John Speas of Blast from Our Past Podcast and Throwback Trivia Takedown to discuss Kieron Gillen’s “Die” volume 1 comic.

THE WICKED + THE DIVINE writer KIERON GILLEN teams up with artist supernova STEPHANIE HANS (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE 1831, Journey Into Mystery) for her first ongoing comic! DIE is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning unearthly horror they barely survived as teenage role-players. If Kieron’s in a rush, he describes it as “Goth Jumanji.” That only captures a sliver of what you’ll find in oversized debut issue—where fantasy gets all too real.

For OCD’s final week of X-Men month, comicbook writer, Diallo Jackson, and Prime, from the Prime Nostalgia Podcast, join Tess for a free-form chat about the X-Men movies and how they relate to the comics. Find out what the X-Men movies got right and what they got terribly wrong.

For OCD’s third week of X-Men month, my hot husband, John Babe, and I discuss Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s “Wolverine: Old Man Logan” Marvel comic! Find out why old man Wolverine is still a badass and why dinosaurs are absolutely a valid point of plot for this comic.

Also, big announcement - OCD is officially now part of the Brain Freeze Podcast Network! I am so excited to be part of this fun network. I think OCD will be a fantastic fit. Check out the other podcasts in the network by visiting @brainfreezepods on Instagram and Twitter!

For OCD’s second week of X-Men month, James from Android’s Amazing Podcast joins Tess to talk about the first part (of five) of the Age of Apocalypse.

X-Men Alpha (1994) #1

Welcome to X-Men month here at OCD! To start us off, Tess’ husband, John Babe, joins us to talk “Mr. & Mrs. X” volume one! Find out why these two lovebirds relate to Rogue and Gambit, and what Tess thinks of her first X-Men comic ever.

This week starts OCD’s very first “Ongoing Series” called THE HISTORY OF COMICS! I am so honored that Josh Winchester from the “Comics, Culture, and Cosplay” podcast is joining us this week to chat about The Golden Age of comics!

Tess and guest co-host, Reid from the Doctor DC podcast, talk about Jason Aaron and Jason Latour’s “Southern Bastards.”

Welcome to Craw County, Alabama, home of Boss BBQ, the state champion Runnin ' Rebs football team...and more bastards than you've ever seen. When you're an angry old man like Earl Tubb, the only way to survive a place like this...is to carry a really big stick.

Tess and guest co-host, Andrew Roos, jump into the wild world that is Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ “Watchmen.” Let Rorschach be your guide and check out this legendary superhero murder mystery comic review!

This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin. One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V FOR VENDETTA, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE SANDMAN series.

This week on the OCD, Tess is joined by Hunter and James of Android’s Amazing Podcast to talk Robert Kirkman’s comic “Invincible: Family Matters!”

Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part-time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? THIS ISSUE: Get in on the ground floor, because it all starts here! Strange things begin to happen to Mark Grayson as he begins to develop superpowers. Luckily, his dad is around to show him the ropes, at least he WOULD be if he weren't so busy saving the world all the time. Mark is forced to go out on his own, and try and figure out how all this superheroing business works. The results are a monumental disaster, at least until he gets the hang of it. Watch Mark thwart thieving super-villains, alien invasions, and all sorts of craziness.

This week on the Ongoing Comicbook Discussion Podcast, Tess is joined by Corey Stevenson (host of Podcasting After Dark and Cartwright! A Seinfeld Podcast) to chat about Kevin Smith’s Chasing Amy. This episode is a part of the BFOP Network’s Kevin Smith movie marathon. Check out the schedule below to see what the line-up is!
