Jace and Rocky break down the DC Comics titles for the week of January 16, 2023. We get the end of Superman Lost which has the guys struggling to decide if it was a worthy ending for the series or not. We also have an excellent issue of Jay Garrick that expands on the origin of STAR Labs and Garrick himself. Superman is in the old west and both Titans and Nightwing deal with fallout from Beastworld. Plus the JL may have an unlikely ally in their battle against the giant monsters unleashed by the Legion of Doom. Join us for our thoughts on these titles and more.

Jace and Rocky chat about the DC Comics titles for the week of January 9, 2024. We get the first issue of a brand new era of Action Comics, a flashback in Green Lantern that gives some context for the current state of the Green Lantern Corps and The Outsiders explore a new mystery. Plus, the villain in Wesley Dodds, Sandman is revealed ... or is he?

Rocky flies solo while Jace recovers from the effects of Kryptonite to discuss the DC Comics titles for the first week of the new year, January 2, 2024. How is the entity Zur-En-Arrh affecting the Failsafe protocol? Plus the highly-anticipated Kneel Before Zod series kicks off, which we expect will return Zod to his evil ways.

Jace is joined by multi-Eisner award winning creator Chip Zdarsky to talk about his long run on Daredevil, his current work on Batman, pluse creator owned projects like Stillwater, Newburn Public Domain and more!

Jace and Rocky from the Comic Boom! YouTube channel finish the year off with a HUGE spotlight for DC Comics titles dropping the week of December 26, 2022. A full slate with 17 issue to chat about. We get the end of the epic run on Action Comics form Phillip Kennedy Johnson, while Beast World and Amazon Attacks keep the action going for DC's two current big events. Cyborg and Batman Beyond both come to satisfying conclusions and Alan Scott Green Lantern is trending in that direction as well. Penguin, this week, spotlights a lesser known DC antagonist that appears to have a big role upcoming in the title and we can't wait. Join us to hear about these books and more.

The Finder

Writer - Christos Gage, Artist - Tomas Giorello, Color Artist - Diego Rodriguez, Letterer - Dave Sharpe

Jace and Rocky celebrate Christmas with what may be the best Bad Idea comic of all. Non-stop action, a nuanced villain and so much potential for the story to continue. Add to that some next level line and color work and you have yourself something very, very special. HIGHEST possible recommendation.

Burning Man

Writer - Peter Milligan, Artist - Juan Jose Ryp, Color Artist - Andrew Dalhouse, Letterer - Dave Sharpe

Jace and Rocky are back on Christmas Eve to chat about Burning Man. This story has all the classic beats from a deal with the devil you would expect, but there are plenty of fresh ideas to make it unpredictable and the line and color work bring the action together to make for a real page-turner. Once again showing that Bad Idea and it's creator know how to create one hell of a comic it the cliffhanger ending than can lea to many paths forward that is most memorable. We can't wait to see how it all turns out in the end.

Passive Aggressive

Writer - Matt Kindt, Artist - David Laptham, Letterer - Troy Peteri

Jace and Rocky continue the 12 Days of The Comic Source Presents: Bad Idea by diving into the world of Hero Trade. We get another interesting marketing and distribution aspect to a Bad Idea book as there are actually two versions of this book. One takes a look at the story through the eyes of the aggressive protagonist, while the other focus on the more passive of the two lead characters. It makes for a very interesting and unique way to look at events. Seen through the eyes of different characters, the same events can be seen so differently.

Pyrate Queen #'s 1-4

Writer - Peter Milligan, Artist - Adam Pollina, Color Artist - Tamra Bonvillain, Letterer - Dave Sharpe

Jace and Rocky chat about Pyrate Queen and the well loved plot points of any great pirate comics, action, high seas adventure and revenge! This is a superb story with a surprise twist towards the end brought to life brilliantly by fantastic line and color work.

Jace and Rocky chat about Monster Kill Squad on the latest 12 Days of the Comic Source Podcast. As the guys continue to explore the Bad Idea catalog, Rocky once again has his favorite series from the publisher. The most traditional feeling story so far with incredible art and fantastic character work.
