PSA: I (Daniel) had some major technical issues when recording and so if I sound odd that's why. I tried my best to salvage it, as good discussions were had.

The podcast comes of age in episode 19 as we cover two books with some similar themes handled very differently. We also discuss the newly released Shang-Chi, the latest Spider-man movie, and I have to say the word "cum" a lot courtesy of Matt Fraction.

This month Daniel has really narrowed down the creator list, reading a book written, drawn, and entirely created by one man - Brian Michael Bendis. Rodrigo dives into a short but sweet graphic novel based on a true story. Recommendations all round!

Both Rodrigo and I move away from the "Big 2" and delve into some Hollywood-based noir and what can only be described as a young girl's weird dream. We also talk about films and video games for your leisure too!

Time zones and technical difficulties cannot stop us talking about comic books. Rodrigo finishes his time with the Bendis run of Daredevil and I return to a grimmer, darker, and yet more beautiful depiction of Gotham City curtesy of Brian Azzarello.

Age of Apocalypse if over (yes I know there is more, but it is over for me), and do you know what this volume wasn't half bad! I would even go as far as to say that it was GOOD! Rodrigo continues his Bendis run of Daredevil, as Matt Murdock continues to have a miserable life. But we look at some lovely art too.

To top it all off we discuss the new Mortal Kombat movie.
