  • Ep. 31 – Compensation
    This week something happened in Demon Knights which we predicted way back in September after reading #1!

We continue to enjoy Watchmen and JLA, say good-bye to Kyle […]

  • Ep. 30 – Thwipping Boys Vs. Action Comics!

    This week we randomly decided to take a look at something that wasn’t in the plan. As well as checking out Avengers Vs. X-Men #1, we saw that Mark Waid and Stuart Immonen promised that something called Avengers Vs. X-Men: Infinite was the future of digital comics. As digital devotees, well we had to check that out didn’t we?

    Question: How can you be the future of a category you don’t even qualify for?

    Also in this week’s packed show, we finally get around to something we’ve been threatening since Episode 1 – Grant Morrison’s JLA! We check out Game of Thrones Season 2, Ultimate Spider-Man, the next chapter of Watchmen, another classic Batman story and the best of the week’s DCnU titles.

    And of course we get in the ring with Grant Morrison’s Action Comics. This is the first week it has become eligible for The Drop. Can we land our patented finisher?

    61:31 – Can SWAMP THING #8 match up to the brilliance of last month?
    67:21 – We owe an apology to the guy who provided the stunning art in ULTIMATE-SPIDER MAN #9 – that idiot Jon thought it was Pichelli! David Marquez we are sorry – also: you are awesome.

    We continue our retrospective looks back at Watchmen, Batman and Identity Crisis, check out the horror side of the DCU with Justice League Dark & I,Vampire and get ready for Avengers Vs X-Men with #0. It ain’t off to a good start folks.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Show Notes for Ep. 29 – The Order of Dumbass

    00:33 – Comixology were giving it away for free, so we checked out the first part of THE CURSE OF SHAZAM BACKUP.
    05:15 – From Vertigo and Dan Abnett comes THE NEW DEADWARDIANS #1. Socio-political commentary featuring the undead? Yes please.
    12:27 – We weren’t sure what the point of an Issue Zero was before this week. Reading AVENGERS Vs. X-MEN #0 didn’t really change that.
    25:21 – Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic continue to wow with ULTIMATE ULTIMATES #8.
    36:35 – If AQUAMAN #7 is any indication this series is on something of a slide.
    42:24 – BATMAN #508 from June 1994 featured Azrael.
    51:25 – We thought reviewing Alan Moore’s masterpiece might be hard work and WATCHMEN CHAPTER V is where we start to be proved right.
    63:42 – JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #7 started the first part of a crossover with a certain DC title.
    71:01 – I,VAMPIRE #7 features an appearance with a certain “Dark Team”…who could that be?
    81:07 – As Jon has said before, he knew who killed Sue Dibney despite never having read IDENTITY CRISIS #7. Or did he?

  • Special Edition – Marvels and Ruins

    Welcome to a new Special Edition of the Thwipping Boys podcast as we continue our tradition of delving into a classic of the comics form by reading Marvels by Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek.

    Originally featured in Episodes 10 to 13 of our show, we now present the review as one single piece.

    But that is not all! Oh no it most certainly is not! Because this time we have also included an exclusive companion piece that never featured on our show…we try to make sense of Warren Ellis’ Ruins!

    Misunderstood genius? A brilliant joke? A terrible joke? Or just offensive and insulting for the sake of it?

     

     

     

    – Don’t forget you can also check out our Special Edition on Kingdom Come.

  • Ep.28 – Letting Go

    This week we cover Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet, Doktor Mandrake, Fishing Spider-Man AND The Adventures of Big Face. What more could you want?

    Batman #7 shows that Greg Capullo and Scott Snyder are just taking the piss now.

    Plus, there’s droppage this week. It’s positively droppy, in fact.

  • Ep. 27 – Whining Little B-tch

    There were so many comics out this week that we had to skip Identity Crisis and Watchmen, in order to check out a new Vertigo book by one of our faves Paul Cornell, as well as the return to comics of BKV with Saga, from Image.

    10:27 – Morgan turning into such a whining little bitch in BATMAN AND ROBIN #7 took some of the shine off this series.

    45:30 – SAUCER COUNTRY #1 gave us something a little different to anything else we’re reading.
    62:22 – Every James Robinson comic we read makes us a bit smarter, and THE SHADE #6 is no exception.
    65:13 – Due to poor communication Chris didn’t remember to buy GREEN LANTERN #7 but doesn’t seem to mind.
    69:51 – SAGA #1 was funnier and more light-hearted than we were expecting.
