It's the fifth Tuesday of the month so that means Annuals and Anthologies. Jace and Rocky chat about several of these from DC Comics for the week of January 30, 2024. Also the end of Titans Beast World and what the fallout will likely be. The World's Finest annual may lead into the rumored DC Ultimate Universe coming later this year, but only time will tell. Batman Off-World and Alan Scott Green Lantern both continue to be excellent and they get our nods as Books of the Week. Join us for our thoughts on these titles and more.

Jace and Rocky chat about the DC Comics titles for the week of January 23, 2024. We get a HUGE reveal in Titans Beast World as Doctor Hate is unmasked, while the Penguin shows how evil and manipulative he can truly be. In Batman Brave and the Bold, the close ties of Batman and Joker date back to their first interaction, but it's the Wild Dog story that really shines in this issue. Plus a nearly silent Power Girl issue and Batman is confronted by an interesting antagonist who may be calling the shots in the "afterlife" desert he finds himself in.

Jace is joined by the legendary comic creator Todd McFarlane. They discuss all the upcoming events for Spawn in 2024 including the upcoming 350th issue. Additionally, there are 7 new series coming from Todd McFarlane Productions this year, all set in the same universe as Spawn. Todd also hopes to have news regarding the Spawn movie this year with a possible release date in 2025 to be announced. Todd also chats about his upcoming Kickstarter campaign for what he calls "the most detailed action figure" he has ever made and reveals some of his plans to celebrate 30 years of McFarlane Toys. Plus they guys discuss the early days of Spawn and Todd's recruitment of some of the top writers of the early 90's to writer issues of Spawn. There's tons of information and lot of fun to be had as we celebrate the longest running independent comic character of all-time.

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.
