We give a spoiler-free review of the first four episodes of Iron Fist, the latest Marvel TV series on Netflix. This was a lot slower start to the four Netflix seasons we have seen so far. At the same time, it's the show with the biggest hill to climb. We are not too in love with the show and the main character, but if they pull off that we think they are, it may be a great show by the end. [caption id="attachment_801" align="alignnone" width="198"] Power Man and Iron Fist #1 2016[/caption] How does it stack up to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage? Who do we agree are the more interesting characters than Danny Rand? Listen and find out! Time Codes

Running on Rooftops celebrated our second anniversary this year, and to celebrate we are doing a number of interviews on the idea of fandom. We will be conducting a few interviews with some people in the online comic book community about doing geeky things and what being a fan means to them. These interviews will go over what they do, why they do it, and how they've grown from the experience. Lord Mesa Interview We had the pleasure of interviewing Lord Mesa, a fantastic and prolific artist who's work has been seen all over the web.

We talk about his art, his stylistic inspirations, and a bit of advice for any artist listening. We also talk about how being a fan opened him up to opportunities to meet stars and give back to the community. Have a look at his Instagram, have a listen to the show! Time Codes
