Radioactive Lounge Comics Podcast

In our post-New Year's stupor, we kick back for a relaxed, no format chat about a truckload of current books, Mitch's thoughts on Rise of Skywalker, and Larry's brave decision to see Cats.

SHOW NOTES: Your idea is as good as ours, but we do review these comics: - Star Wars #1 - Marauders #2-3 - New Mutants #3-4 - Marvel's 2099 event - Farmhand - Dr Strange: Surgeon Supreme #1 - Thor #1 - Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child - Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, Book 1

Here's something we found under the tree.

It's an all-screen spectacular as we wrap up Watchmen, catch up on The Mandalorian, and review The Rise of Skywalker. Plus possibly the most avant garde music break ever on the podcast.

It's comics night of nights for another year as we count down the best books for 2019.

Lots of news this ep as we talk the proudest moment of the Disney Plus launch, the future of the DC streaming service and Henry Cavill's future with Superman. Then we get unusually grumpy in reviews, and go on a Comics Kontiki Tour... maybe?

We're not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with us. Unless you just don't bother downloading. But then you'll miss us talking all things Watchmen, from the original comic through prequels, sequels, movie and now the TV series. Plus some Green Lantern hot takes - and a major development in Larry's quest to change his name.

X-ray specs, sea monkeys, prizes and cash, this episode has it all as we take a stroll back through the ads of vintage comics. Plus more X-arguments, some spooky comics reviews for Halloween and possibly the strangest Hulk comic ever.
