Welcome friends to Back Issue Bloodbath, a comics-centric podcast presented by Geek Hard. Join hosts Andrew Young and Gavin Stephens 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.

In our first Episode of 2016, we take a look at the current state of DC Comics and our love of Animal Man. We take a brief look at Jeff Lemire’s run on the title and spend a bit more time talking about the work done by Grant Morrison with the character back in the late 80’s. There’s also some talk about Scott Snyder and why Andrew will never forgive him. Hear it all on the latest episode of Back Issue Bloodbath.

If you’re gonna geek out, GEEK HARD!

A conversation about DC Comics leads us to a look back on one of our favourite characters.

On this episode we take provide a special presentation of our first ever LIVE show. Yes we do our show live each week but we have never performed in front of an actual audience. We invaded The Comedy Bar on November 21st, 2015 along with some friends. Performing live was The Dandies (a Star Trek improv troop), singer Leslie Hudson and comedian Gavin Stephens. We also ran into Ajay Fry of the Space show InnerSpace who appeared to perform a battle of wits with Mr. Green in our first Nerd-Off trivia contest. There were shenanigans and hilarity to be had this night. Keep an eye out, there maybe more these in the future.

Of course we still have our regular banter.
