Paul and Chris assemble to talk about some select titles from DC's wide-ranging "Future State" event, which sees the DC Universe of the near future engulfed in an entirely new set of circumstances for some of its core characters.

Of particular attention for the guys here is The Next Batman written by John Ridley, and both Superman: Worlds of War and Superman: House of El by new monthly Man of Steel writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson.

Chris and Paul take a closer look at the highly-anticipated film Zack Snyder's Justice League, from two different perspectives about the director's previous work with DC Comics-based heroes. Featuring special guest Sean Gerber!

It's all about Marvel's Man Without Fear in this episode, where Paul and Chris are joined by the founder and webmaster of the web's premiere source for Daredevil ManWithoutFear.com!

Kuljit Mithra joins the guys to bring his encyclopedic knowledge of all things Matt Murdock to a discussion about "LAST RITES," the influential Daredevil/Kingpin showdown taking place in issues #297-300. The guys also all check into a major status quo change for Daredevil's corner of the Marvel Universe, which took place in 2020's DAREDEVIL (vol. 6) #25. Give it a listen now!

One of the most long-awaited DC Comics events in years is the subject of the latest episode, as Paul and Chris talk all things DOOMSDAY CLOCK! In 2016, DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH posited a reality that had been irrevocably changed by none other than DOCTOR MANHATTAN, the sole super hero to be found in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' WATCHMEN. What followed was a hype machine nearly two years in the making as fans waited to discover what the first collision between the mainline DC Universe and the world of WATCHMEN would bring.

What followed was a series that ended up being far less about WATCHMEN, and far more about the symbolic power of hope contained in the heroes of DC Comics. Listen in as Paul and Chris drill down into this series, and what it's truly all about.

Another issue, and another point of contention: Paul and Chris return to talk about comics in general and what they've been up to before getting into it over Tom King and Jorge Fornes' RORSCHACH #2, and many of the same excitement and criticisms return for this latest go-around. An engaging mystery story invoking comics history, or a needless expansion of the WATCHMEN brand?

You decide! Listen in now.

After Chris scarfs down a burrito and Paul talks about his pickups for the week, the guys settle into a review and reaction to BATMAN: THREE JOKERS #3, the final issue of the highly-anticipated miniseries from writer Geoff Johns and penciler Jason Fabok.

To call this story consequential for all of the involved characters is an understatement, as we see the intimate character study and how they overcome trauma put under an intense microscope in this series finale. What do the new revelations for Batman and his allies mean, and what does the story's events tell readers about who Batman is at his core? What does this mean for his relationship with his most notorious enemy, and how has Batman's defining trauma been affected by this story?

Listen in for Paul's and Chris' answers to these questions, and a whole lot more!

At the end of the "Dark Reign," Norman Osborn was deposed and S.H.I.E.L.D. had returned. Installed as the nation's foremost law enforcer, former Captain America Steve Rogers spearheads Marvel's "Heroic Age" with a black ops version of the Avengers!

Paul and Chris take a look at the second arc of the ongoing SECRET AVENGERS series, the final arc on the title from writer Ed Brubaker and penciler Mike Deodato which invokes superhero action, intrigue, espionage, secret societies and a whole lot more! The guys revisit this solid series from the 2010 line-wide Heroic Age event, and see how well it holds up a decade later.

Plus, the guys talk about a recent interview given by Alan Moore about the nature of the comics medium, as well as about how these influential creators like Moore and Ed Brubaker have been conducting themselves after making their names in superhero fiction.

The Binge returns to tackle another brand new comic book series coming from the DC Black Label: writer Tom King's and artist Jorge Fornés' Rorschach #1!

The enduringly popular character created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons from 1986's Watchmen – though he was inspired by Steve Ditko's original Charlton incarnation of the Question – has returned in an all-new series, taking place 35 years after Walter Kovacs met a sticky end at the glowing blue hand of Dr. Manhattan.

The story seems to try and evoke political intrigue and mystery as well as a couple of callbacks to the popular HBO Watchmen series, but Paul and Chris have different ideas about how well it lands. Listen in to find out why!

Paul and Chris are back to react to the second issue of the current Black Label Batman event mini-series by writer Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok, Batman: Three Jokers!

Trauma is the overriding theme here, and readers get to take a new look at what trauma is – and how it can be overcome – through another major focus character for this series. Listen in as Paul and Chris react to the twists and turns of this second issue, and what its events say about the core characters at the center of this deceptive plot.

Plus, listen in for what's next! It's a...secret.

The Binge is back with our very first non-superhero related comic book read, but the writer behind it is very well known to superhero fans everywhere: Greg Rucka.

Recently making the jump to a big budget feature film starring Charlize Theron, The Old Guard is a comic book series about immortality: the burden it brings for the people that have it, and the lengths others will go to try and get it.

We couldn't talk about all the dimensions of this series alone, though, as Paul and Chris are joined by the supremely talented Johnamarie Macías of the Geeky Bubble Podcast to help break it down!
