  • Ep. 20 – AAAIIIEEEEE!!

    This week we review the latest batch of DCnU titles with Aquaman #5, The Flash #5, I, Vampire #5 and Justice League Dark #5, plus Simon takes a look back at another classic Batman comic, Batman #420.

    Finally we jump onto Jonathan Hickman’s Ultimate Comics Ultimate Avenging Ultimates #6, just because of the cover. Nobody said we ain’t easily swayed.

    Please note: Chris suffers from some minor sound issues this week, don’t worry it’s not you, it’s us.

  • Ep. 19 – Segue Police!

    We’ve chucked in all kinds of stuff this week! We jump on JonnyJon’s all-time favourite comic Ultimate Spider-Man, grab the first issue of Joshua Fialkov’s Doctor Who arc, bring back our Underground Comics Challenge for Red Angel and check out Prophet #21, which involved us giving money to Rob Liefeld. That wasn’t easy, but do we regret it?

    We check in with the DCnU titles Wonder Woman #5, Supergirl #5, Green Lantern Corps #5 and the sublime Batman #5.

    Finally, Simon learns he shares a very important link with his favourite character Nightwing, and Chris pushes things a step too far…

     

     

     

     

     

    Show Notes for Episode 19: Segue Police!

    06:24 – We take a look at ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1-6 and shock! Horror! Jonny comes to the defence of Ultimatum.
    29:49 – WONDER WOMAN #5 was great but we ended up digressing into the awesomeness that Chris is capable of frying up for breakfast.
    38:37 – DR. WHO #13 turned out to be a little disappointing.
    46:44 – Have we mentioned we love Guy Gardner? As usual he’s awesome in GREEN LANTERN CORPS #5.
    54:40 – PROPHET #21 is actually really damn cool.
    64:54 – Our Underground Comics Challenge returns with intriguing steampunk indie book RED ANGEL #1.
    85:16 – We randomly check out BATMAN #408 and Simon learns something quite sweet. Awww.
    93:48 – Jon was “floored” by how good SUPERGIRL #5 was. It’s about time he caught up!
    100:40 – BATMAN #5. Well, what can we say? Devastingly good would only begin to describe it.

  • Ep. 18 – Hump the Bunk

    It’s time for the 18th awesome episode of the Thwipping Boys podcast, discussing an especially strong showing from the DCnU. This week we have fire, death, Darwyn, destruction, betrayal most foul, and someone getting smacked with a submarine.

    Show notes for Episode 18: Hump the Bunk

    09:58 – DEMON KNIGHTS has been a brilliant series so far, if you aren’t reading it WHY NOT?!
    19:28 – Sinestrooooo! We think GREEN LANTERN is about the wrong character.
    29:45 – FRANKENSTEIN is growing on us, but the art is still causing trouble.
    41:21 – Darwyn Cooke was on THE SHADE! How did we not know this?
    56:21 – I’m trying to summon up the enthusiasm for DEATHSTROKE but I just heard today that there’s an creative team change approaching and that make me a sad panda.
    63:45 – Mitch Shelly was an utter shit?! Whowouldathunkit!?!?
    71:17 – Tomasi and Gleason continue to provide us one of our favourite comics with BATMAN & ROBIN.
    78:41 – The fact that The Rot is confusing us doesn’t stop SUICIDE SQUAD being its usual fucking-awesome self.

  • Ep. 17 – Timeslide!

    We mix things up this week by jumping aboard the precursor to Avengers Vs. X-Men and picking up a book we had all previously agreed to drop. We discuss an initiative which has the potential to bring a lot of new readers into comics in the UK. Plus, we check out some DCnU #5s!

    Show Notes for Ep. 17 – Timeslide!

    14:14  – About the most interesting thing we discovered about AVENGERS: X-SANCTION #1 was that it looked like it had been drawn by Beryl Cook.
    30:46 – After dropping the book with issue 3 we decided we missed Slade Wilson, so we picked up DEATHSTROKE #4.
    42:07 – The story is finally starting to come together with STORMWATCH #5.
    58:36 – SWAMP THING #5 continues to be an excellent series, despite some uncharachteristically clunky dialogue.
    70:53 – ANIMAL MAN #5 sees the first arc of Jeff Lemire’s run come to a spectacular end.
    84:45 – After reading ACTION COMICS #5 we’re still not completely convinced of why we’re hanging around.
