Let Mike & Greg point out the books hitting shelves on Wednesday they're most excited about in this four hundred forty-third installment of their ongoing "Pull List" series! These episodes are the perfect way for anyone to kick off their comics: from the most curious newcomer to the most dedicated Wednesday Warrior!

This episode was originally broadcast on August 4, 2016.

This week's episode kicks off with a simple request: pick a number. It's a lottery of sorts for Mike and Greg as random comics are plucked from their places and used as kindling for conversation. Dark Reign-era Marvel, Mike's least favorite "Hellboy" arc, and a deep dive into Ashley Wood's storytelling decisions are just a few topics that're touched on in this wide-ranging free for all! Also, keep this image handy for later reference.

While the first name in British comics is undoubtedly 2000AD, Greg recently got a chance to talk with a representative of the other big player in comics across the pond: Chris Thompson, Brand Manager for Titan Comics.

For over 35 years, Titan has brought two different areas of books to its British audience: film & TV tie-ins, and graphic novels. Just this month sees the return of Jack Kirby & Joe Simon’s Fighting American and iconic science fiction hero Dan Dare, but also the launch of Statix Press, an initiative by the publisher to bring a diverse selection of European comics to English-speaking readers.

In his role as Brand Manager, Chris is definitely THE person to talk to when it comes to Titan. But this being Robots, Greg also digs a little in Chris’ backstory and how he went from young comics reader to the Eisner-winning bon vivant you hear today (and on his Multiversity Comics podcast Pop Culture Hound).

For this 700th episode, the lads bring you something old AND something new!

Things kick off with Greg talking to Multiversity alum and current comics writer Chad Bowers about his mini-series Snake-Eyes: Dead Game, drawn by comics legend and world's most energetic human Rob Liefeld.

The conversation then expands to get Chad's take on the broader G.I. Joe franchise: do the cartoons still hold up? Does Larry Hama's original Real American Hero run deserve to be mentioned in the same conversations as Claremont's X-Men and Wolfman's New Teen Titans when discussing definitive long-term comics runs of the 1980's? Can the franchise survive without Duke (a scenario G.I. Joe: The Movie tried to bring about)? And speaking of the feature film, is the opening title scene the best intro of the 1980's OR the greatest three minutes and seven seconds ever committed to celluoid?

Following that is a flashback to January 4, 2017 and a conversation Mike had with Hellboy creator and someone mentioned in at least half the lads' conversations over the last 699 episode: Mike Mignola. The original post described the interview as "kicking off with a discussion on collaborating on such a huge canvas and continuing on into some very interesting places".

So kick back, relax, and help Mike and Greg celebrate another milestone of funnybook talk by listening to this 700th episode of the show!
