We have been doing a Justice League International chat across a number of episodes and years now, selecting issues that make up the collected volumes but now we have come to the end of those collections with this final volume. That doesn’t mean we will be stopping OUR JLI volumes though. From now on we will just be covering what issues we think would make up the next collection.

For now though, this episode is our continuation of Keith Giffen, J.M. Dematteis (Justice League America #31-35), Bart Sears & Adam Hughes (Justice League Europe #7-11) JLI series or the “BWAHAHA” Justice League as people now seem to know it. Kevin McGuire had long dropped off by this point having now even stopped on covers but will make one or two appearances in the future.

This continues to be a source of pure joy and we really can’t wait to keep talking about these for years to come. This “JLI book club” is one of our favourite topics to do here on the pod and we hope you enjoy it.

This and all the usual comics chat on…

First off we want to say a MASSIVE thank you to our guest on this episode. Our good buddy Tony Esmond came to visit us and took part in our MAD conversation and it was an absolute pleasure to have him here and see him again.

For those who don’t know, Tony is one third of the brilliant Awesome Comics Podcast and the host of the wonderful Never Iron Anything Comics Review Podcast/Website. He also, along with buddy/artist Adam Falp, runs and puts out comics through their new underground comics publisher Tribute Press.

We went completely MAD for this one. We take a look at paperbacks, magazines, comics, and everything in-between, around and involved with Mad Magazine and it’s legacy. There were gifts exchanged, some thoughts and a load of laughs.

Come join us for this and all the usual comics chat on…

Back in 2022 we spoke about Mr Grant after sadly hearing of his passing. We were all very big fans and it was great to share around the work we had of his and talk about times we had either seen or met him.

A true gentleman and a master of his craft.

He is sorely missed.

Back in 2020, when we were all on lockdown, there was a little break where people could meet outdoors but at a distance. We took this time to have a little comic swap/mart in the driveway of That Comic Smell’s home.

It was one of the few times we had seen each other in person. Mike had been gifted various longboxes with A LOT of comics. They were predominantly DC titles and after we had met, had a good laugh and picked our way through them all, we went back home, read a bunch of them and discussed it over Skype.

This is a little blast from the past and some things that are discussed may be long past now but it just gives us a little glimpse into a time where we were still trying our hardest to stay connected with friends and loved ones.

It’s also where we got free comics and showed them off!

On this episode we get together to discuss our “Intention Fails” and whether we managed to get through our 3 for this year and what we chose for the year ahead.

For those who weren’t there for the first time ‘Intention Fails’ are comics that we bought with every intention of reading but have then sat on the shelf for some time, unread. So we take this time to pick 3 particular titles and attempt to read them in the year. We have done it for roughly 3-4 years now.

Nando, on the other hand, reads his comics as soon as he gets them. SO for him, he was sharing his top reads of 2022. The rest of the gang did this also.

Just as an added extra, we all brought along some comics that we got as gifts over the Christmas period. This was just a chance to show off. They say that “No one likes a show off” Well we love one in this case.

Welcome to episode 105. We had our Christmas get together on the 19th of December and had a slightly different topic this time. We got our favourite comics related merchandise together and had a good chin wag about them. There’s stamps, toys, models and so much more.

We also throw in some comics talk nearer the end.
