Ongoing Comicbook Discussion Podcast

This week on OCD, Tess is joined by Max Boyle from the Ready 2 Retro podcast to review Dan Slott’s “The Superior Spider-Man” comic! This is the first Spider-Man comic review on OCD and Tess’s first Spider-Man comic!

Peter Parker spent a lifetime living up to the responsibilities his powers foisted upon him, but his story finally ended dramatically in the historic Amazing Spider-Man #700. NOW!...The new Amazing Spider-Man has arrived, and he is better in every single way. Smarter, stronger...Superior. And he'll prove it, both to himself and the world, when he faces down the all-new Sinister Six! But is this all-new Spider-Man in cahoots with J. Jonah Jameson? And has Carlie Cooper figured out the Superior Spider-Man's secret identity? Plus: Spider-Man and Mary Jane...reunited?!

This week on OCD, Tess is joined by her buddy Pete to review Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer comic. We also review Disney’s “The Rocketeer” movie. Find out why this comic is an incredible art piece and what Dave Stevens has to do with Indiana Jones…and maybe Boba Fett.

The Rocketeer, by Dave Stevens, is a rollicking tribute to pulp novels and Saturday morning matinee serials. It follows the high-flying adventures of stunt pilot Cliff Secord and his girlfriend Betty after Cliff finds a mysterious jet pack and takes to the sky. One of the most beloved comic series of all time, The Rocketeer has been completely remastered and is presented here with glorious all-new coloring for the first time.

This week on the Ongoing Comicbook Discussion Podcast, Tess is joined by Jeff May to review Silver Surfer: New Dawn! This 2014 Silver Surfer comic is written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Mike Allred.

The Silver Surfer, the sentinel of the cosmos, is often alone on his quest to defend space. All that changes when Surfer meets earthling Dawn Greenwood, a young woman determined to push the Surfer's boundaries. Plus, the introduction of the villain known as Never Queen! When Surfer tries to return Dawn home, he finds himself in his strangest battle yet with Shuma-Gorath!

This week on the OCD Podcast, Tess is joined by the lovely and hilarious Emily Slade, host of Why This Film podcast, to talk “Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass.” Join us for this badass Harley Quinn story like no other!

COMICBOOK SUMMARY:

With just five dollars and a knapsack to her name, 15-year-old Harleen Quinzel is sent to live in Gotham City. She's not worried, though she’s battled a lot of hard situations as a kid, and knows her determination and outspokenness will carry her through life in the most dangerous city in the world. And when Gotham's finest drag queen, Mama, takes her in, it seems like Harley has finally found a place to grow into her most "true true" with new best friend Ivy at Gotham High. But when Mama's drag cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighborhood, Harley's fortune takes another turn.

Now Harleen is mad. In turning her anger into action, she is faced with two choices: join activist Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighborhood a better place to live, or team up with her anarchist friend Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time.

In 1986, John Byrne was recruited from Marvel Comics to reinvent Superman for a brand-new audience. Along with inker Dick Giordano, Byrne reimagined the look of Superman, Lois Lane, Krypton, and Lex Luthor. The relationships between Superman and Lois, Superman and Batman, and Superman and Luthor were reexamined and tweaked for modern readers. Old villains such as Bizarro returned and new ones, such as Magpie, were introduced. It was the dawn of a new age for the Man of Steel that endures today. See how it all began in this collection of the first six stories. Includes a foreword by Ray Bradbury.

Aspiring reporter Jerri Bartman is furious when she's demoted to hosting the nightly Creature Feature at her small-town TV station. But Jerri quickly learns that there is more to horror hosting than just introducing bad B-movies. Her first night in the costume of her missing predecessor, Count Crowley, finds her face to face with a living, breathing . . . werewolf. Or was she just that drunk?

The shape-shifting Skrulls have been infiltrating the Earth for years, replacing many of Marvel's heroes with impostors, setting the stage for an all-out invasion!

Green Lantern: Earth One Vol. 1: The newest Earth One original graphic novel presents an all-new origin for the Emerald Warrior!

Hal Jordan yearns for the thrill of discovery, but the days when astronaut and adventure were synonymous are long gone. His gig prospecting asteroids for Ferris Galactic is less than fulfilling-but at least he's not on Earth, where technology and culture have stagnated. When Jordan finds a powerful ring, he also finds a destiny to live up to. There are worlds beyond his own, unlike anything he ever imagined. But revelation comes with a price: the Green Lantern Corps has fallen, wiped out by ruthless killing machines known as Manhunters. The odds against reviving the Corps are nearly impossible...but doing the impossible is exactly what Hal Jordan was trained to do!

Co-writer/artist Gabriel Hardman (Invisible Republic) and co-writer Corinna Bechko bring us a soaring original graphic novel that takes a radical new look at the mythology of Green Lantern and provides a great entry point for new readers.

This week on the OCD Podcast we are joined by Reid and Richard from the Doctor DC Podcast to discuss Green Lantern: Earth One Vol. 1 and all things Hal Jordan! If you are new to the character (or not as familiar with him as you want to be) then this is a great jumping-on point for new readers! We hope you enjoy the discussion and make sure you give Doctor DC a listen!

Star Wars: Princess Leia: When Princess Leia Organa was captured by the Empire, she never betrayed her convictions — even after the complete destruction of her home world, Alderaan. When her rescue came, Leia grabbed a blaster and joined the fight, escaping back to the Rebel Alliance and helping strike the biggest blow against the Empire — destroying the Death Star! But in the aftermath of that victory, the question remains: What is a princess without a world? As Leia grapples with her loss, a new mission leads her to the underground world of Sullust. The Empire is rounding up fugitive Alderaanians, and that doesn't sit well with their Princess! But what can one woman do against the Galactic Empire? They're about to find out! Join the galaxy's toughest Princess on a quest to save her people and rebuild her life!

This is it! Our final Star Wars comic for the month of May (but not forever), and it’s a good one- Princess Leia by Mark Waid and Terry Dodson! Not only did both hosts absolutely love this trade but they also consider it essential reading for all fans of a galaxy far, far away!

Star Wars: Boba Fett - Twin Engines of Destruction: Boba Fett is the most feared, most respected bounty hunter in the galaxy. He only cares about two things: his money and his reputation. So when he discovers someone has been impersonating him, he decides to teach his inferior dopplegänger exactly why he's the most feared, most respected bounty hunter in the galaxy! It's Boba Fett vs. Boba Fett!

This week we dive into co-host Corey’s favorite Star Wars character…nay, favorite ALL-TIME character- Boba freakin’ Fett! And “Twin Engines of Destruction” is his favorite comicbook based on the infamous bounty hunter! Admittedly, there may not be much meat on the bones of this story but what it lacks in substance it makes up for with lots of Fett vs “Fett” action!
