Originally Aired: 11/24/17 – Review Justice League. Talk with actor Lora Burke of Poor Agnes and with creators of comic Songs of the Dead

We talk with actor Lora Burke. Lora is the star of Poor Agnes, a new film that dissects the psyche of a female serial killer. The guys got to see it last month at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. The film’s been “killing it” on the festival circuit. Lora has described her character as kind of an “Evil Reese Whitherspoon”. Lora tells us all about the film (currently playing in Toronto) and hints at other upcoming projects. If you want to know more about Poor Agnes, check our their website.

Our review of Justice League starring Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa. Synopsis: Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

We also talk with comic creators Andrea Fort and Michael Christopher Heron. Their indie comic, Songs for the Dead, has recently been picked up by Vault Comics, with a re-release of issue one coming to comic shops this January. Andrea and Michael will be on to tell you why you should order this series. As our story begins, we meet Bethany, a drifter with a hero complex who finds herself in the town of Llyne in search of someone in need. She finds her mission in the name of Emory Van Craggan, a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing while fetching supplies for his family from an adjacent village. Despite the warning of bandits potentially being involved in his disappearance, Bethany embarks alone on an adventure, hoping to rescue the ill-fated boy.

It was a great show!

Plus exclusively for our $4/month Patreon supporters, our latest Geek Hard Extra After Credits segment Sammy Younan joins Mr. Green to discuss more Justice League while Andrew disappeared for this segment.

Andrew is subjected to The Watch for Leslie's amusement on the latest Don't Make Me Watch That.

Welcome friends to Back Issue Bloodbath, a comics-centric podcast presented by Geek Hard. Join hosts Andrew Young and Sammy Younan as they get down and dirty in the four-colour world of comic books, focusing on classic stories, new issues, comic creators and hot button topics.

Back in July of this year, Andrew got the chance to chat with writer Kelly Thompson about the latest Hawkeye series. The comic stars Kate Bishop (some would call her the better Hawkeye) and focuses on her return to Los Angeles and her second go at being a private detective. Since that interview, Andrew has been dying to do an episode of BIB on this series. Sammy finally got around to reading the first trade and even suggested we do an episode on it. Andrew hoped this would lead to an in depth discussion about the book. What follows is not what Andrew hoped for.

Listen to the latest episode of Back Issue Bloodbath where Andrew makes many points about how great this Hawkeye series is while Sammy repeatedly makes the same point on why he thinks it’s not. The episode is funny to say the least and harkens back to the Steve Trevor incident. There is praise for the artwork of Leonardo Romero and Michael Walsh, as well as a review of the story so far with Madame Masque, Aggregate and Kate’s Father. There’s also Sammy saying the word purple A LOT. Take a listen and enjoy…….Andrew sure didn’t.

Have an idea for a certain topic we should cover? Have an indie comic book you’d like us to review? Send us an email at [email protected] with “Back Issue Bloodbath” in the subject line. We’d love to hear from you. And be sure to join our Facebook page for exclusive content.
