The Comics Podcast

And so we've arrived at the end. This is the FINAL episode of The Comics Podcast and that's pretty wild. In total, we've done around 300 episodes and it's been a joy to record this show with Emily, Chad and Jean-Luc. From passionate Taylor Swift-related discussions and live fursona creations, to wizard abortion talks and that one Aquaman porn episode, we've had tons of fun doing this show. Thanks for taking the time to listen and hang out with us, you're all appreciated.

And hey, we ended it with a lovely episode all about the Best Comics of 2021. Which comics made the cut, does Jeff Lemire ever miss and why is Snotgirl the best comic of 2021 even though no issues came out this year? Find out, in the final, oversized issue of The Comics Podcast. And who knows, there might even be a cliffhanger or two at the end.

Welcome to round one of our year-end review of 2021! This week, Chad, Jean, and Emily discuss their favorite movies, albums, TV shows, and video games. Also dragons and cars make an appearance. I wonder who's fault that is?

Enjoy, and if you think something we talked about sounded cool, maybe check it out!

Happy almost Christmas folks! The Comics Podcast got together for one last comic-focused show to end off 2021. In keeping with the holiday spirit, Jean-Luc went to go visit his family so Chad ends up in the host seat. Does he burn it to the ground? Or even more sinister, does he spend a good chunk talking about the hit 2008 movie Speed Racer? There's only one way to find out! There's also comics to be talked including: The Joker #10, Robin & Batman #2, Batman: The Imposter #3, Primordial #4 , Teen Titans Academy #9, Batgirls #1, Mazebook #4 Newburn #2, and Getting Dizzy #2.

Oh man, Jeff Lemire is so damn good and even though it's two issues in I want Robin & Batman on our top 10 list. 

Speaking of which, that's gonna be our first show of the new year! So get your picks ready and from all of us at the Comics Podcast: Have a great holiday!

This week we're dumb and stupid and also furry. Comic books include One-Star Squadron, Swamp Thing, Daisy, Made in Korea, What's the Furthest Place from Here?, and more. We also talked about Olivia Rodrigo again.

Jean-Luc is on vacation so the rest of the crew decides to talk Centaurworld, Hawkeye, Sonic Underground and Fat Albert. Thankfully there is some comic reprieve including: Robin #8, Harley Quinn #9, DC vs Vampires #2, Batman Reptilian #6Radiant Black #10, Time Before Time #7, Vinyl #6, Sweet Paprika #5, That Texas Blood #12, Joy Operations #1, and Grrl Scouts: Stone Ghost #1. 

Please come back Jean-Luc.

This week, everyone but Chad is playing that new Pokemon game what has the new Pokemon! You like Piplup? We  like Piplup. After that, Alex and Jean-luc talk Halo Infinite, then Chad talks Shadow of Intent and Born of Osiris because he's got like one personality trait and you're all stuck with it.

For comics, it was a fine week of Superman: Son of Kal El, Maw, Eat the Rich, Nice House on the Lake, Robins, and one or two others I don't remember.

*Bugs Bunny in a suit holding a flintlock pistol meme* Lord forgive me, we're going back to the old Comics Podcast. Which means the first 15 minutes are all devoted to the latest Taylor Swift release Red (Taylor's Version). And then we talked about anime. What the hell

It also happened to be a good week for comics, with everything from the debut of Jeff Lemire's Robin & Batman to the launch of a new series about what *really* happened in Dallas on November 22nd of 1963 called Regarding the Matter of Oswald's Body. And everything in between, like the end of everyone's favorite YA lesbian comic Mamo.

On this weeks wonderbread of podcast episodes, Jean-luc and Alex are away again, so Chad and Emily talk about all kindsa stuff! Did you know the Red Locust is in Fortnite? Do you even know how amazing he is? I'm about to tell you! With my words!

Emily played/streamed Deltarune, which is cool, and she started reading Dune! Hope you like scifi!

Chad watched Dr. Sleep and listened to thirty million albums!

We also read comic books, such as Harley Quinn, That Texas Blood, Ant, Sweet Paprika, DC Vs Vampires, Time before Time, and a few more I forget. Is fun.

Wozwers, that's alot of devil's water, Batman!

That may be so, Robin but everyone knows that it's ok to drink with friends.

Gee Batman, when you're right you're right and you sure aint left!Thanks, Chum! Now let's say we mosey on down to the malt shop for a strawberry milkshake and some curly fries?

Fuck you Batman, I'd rather talk about how Jean-Luc is giving up new Star Wars, Chad's trip to the record shop, Emily watching Venom and Alex reading the Thrawn trilogy!

What the fuckity fuck are you talking about Robin?

And then I'd like to talk about The Joker #8, I Am Batman #2, Batman: The Imposter #1, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #9, The Six Sidekicks of Trigger, Compass #5 and-That's it! No pudding for you, Chum! I'm going to the ball with The Joker because he's less of a kninny than you are!

Good grief, Batman! This is why your parents faked their deaths.

This week, Alex and Jean-luc are gone, so Emily and Chad can talk at length about cartoons! Buckle up buckeroos, because we're hitting The Ghost and Molly McGee, Star Wars Visions, Doki Doki Lit Club, and My Little Pony: A New Generation. Is more horses!

For comic books we touch on Soul Plumber, The Me You Love in the Dark, some new Gotham thing, Nice House on the Lake, Dirtbag Rapture, and I think one or two more. It's fun
