Pull Party: A Comic Book Podcast

Rob Liefeld is catching strays, Cobra apparently has an HR department, and we're somehow doing forensic accounting on an '80s G.I. Joe cartoon. We also talk graded comics, Absolute Batman homage covers, Big Guns Stupid Rednecks, Poison Ivy, and the horrifying realization that living in Gotham would make your insurance company spontaneously combust.

We have two announcements, a Dunkin' rant, a comic book confession booth, and approximately seventeen reasons to be exhausted by Marvel. Pull Party Episode 37.1 is here and somehow the first ten minutes are about tipping.

We're talking Chattanooga Comic-Con, Austin Allen Hamblin, D23, Vision Quest, Ghost Rider, X-Men, Doctor Doom, Lanterns, Jon Stewart, Hal Jordan, and the comics we're actually reading. Then we spend a ridiculous amount of time dissecting the mysteries in Lanterns because apparently one episode wasn't enough to turn us into conspiracy theorists.

Plus: The Last Driver, Gargoyles, Celebrity Deathrow, Hank Howard: Pizza Man, and whatever other comic book nonsense wandered onto the table.

Spoilers are all over this thing, especially during the Lanterns discussion.

Marvel fatigue is real. Comic creators have giant egos. Green Lantern makes bubble wrap. And Robert has apparently decided that dressing like a priest at Chattanooga Comic-Con is a perfectly normal promotional strategy.

Welcome to Pull Party Episode 37.

We're talking D23, Vision Quest, X-Men, Doctor Doom, Ghost Rider, Lanterns, Absolute Batman, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, comic collecting, upcoming books, and the comics we've actually been reading.

Plus, we're bringing Pull Party to Chattanooga Comic-Con, where Robert is planning a completely ridiculous comic book confession booth. Yes, people will be confessing their comic sins. Yes, there will be penance. No, Paul does not approve.

And because we apparently hate ourselves, we finish by arguing about generative AI, creativity, stolen art, and whether using ChatGPT to fix a missing colon in your website code makes you a robot overlord.

Spoiler warning: We talk openly about the comics, shows, trailers, and movies discussed.

Moon Knight is an A-HOLE

Deadpool is depressed. The moon is apparently f*cked. Moon Knight betrays his entire team. Batman punches an assassin directly into next Tuesday. And somehow Skipping Stone is the name Marvel settled on for a Toad/Blob descendant.

Yep. It's another Pull Party.

We're talking Deadpool #7, Bishop #2, Moon Knight #7, Batman #12 by Matt Fraction, Power Rangers: Green #1, upcoming comics, ridiculous variant covers, and a whole lot of comic-book nonsense. We also get into the increasingly bizarre mystery surrounding Batman's hallucinated Alfred, the six assassins coming after Bruce Wayne, Storm's absolutely insane power level, and the possibility that Mr. Sinister is secretly behind everything in Bishop because obviously he is.

Then we end the show by throwing the MCU into a wood chipper and arguing about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the Hand, Kingpin, Daredevil, Hulk, Jean Grey, Yelena, and whether the movie would have been better with Typhoid Mary.

Spoiler warning: We talk openly about major plot points and endings from the comics we read.

LARPers be LARPing!Comic books are for everybody... unless you ask the internet.

This week we're ranting about comic book gatekeeping, "fake fans," rage bait, and why people can't just let other people enjoy things. Along the way we somehow end up talking politics in comics, Absolute Batman, comic conventions, collecting, and the never-ending quest to spend way too much money on funny books.

Robert goes to the world's largest G.I. Joe convention....and buy Batman. Paul gives an update on his webcomic while adding even more Absolute Batman homage covers to the collection.

If you've ever been called a fake fan because you didn't memorize forty years of comic continuity... this one's for you.

We sat down with comic artist Bob Quinn and spent a shocking amount of time discussing a mutant that poops ice cream. Then we accidentally had one of the best creator interviews ever, talking X-Men, Black Cat Social Club, leaving the video game industry, unfinished passion projects, nostalgia for arcades, and why sometimes the dumbest joke you draw in a laundromat refuses to die. Comics are weird, man... and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Pull Party #34 | Gambit: Wanted #1 / Batman of Two Worlds / Superman: Father of Tomorrow #3 / Ordained: The Machine

San Diego Comic-Con dropped enough announcements to fry our collective comic book brains, but first we argued about whether a desert is technically half a beach, opened way too many blind bags, and learned Ninja Turtles started life by lovingly making fun of Daredevil. Then we yelled about Gambit's fashion choices, Godzilla punching children (sort of), and enough new comics to make our wallets file for bankruptcy.

Because Paul had the AUDACITY to not include Storm in his top 10 mutants, we sat down with Zayne to draft an All-Star line up of Marvel's best.Who's team wins?

Paul nearly dissolved his face with a Sour Punch Straw and Red Bull combo because apparently we listen to the comments now. After surviving that terrible decision, we argued about Absolute Deathstroke, accidentally connected half the Absolute Universe together like conspiracy theorists with a corkboard, declared Dork is still criminally good, and somehow ended up talking about Batman bullying KGBeast for like twenty minutes. Normal week.

This week starts with Twizzlers as drinking straws and dives headfirst into Batman traffic patterns, angry YouTube comments, Absolute Batman insanity, and Paul declaring war on scalpers (again) with the calm energy of a raccoon trapped in a vending machine.

Also, if you came here expecting reasonable comic book discourse... that's honestly on you.
