We Considered Comics

This week, we take a break from our deep dive into Astro City and focus instead on the MCU's newest show, WandaVision!

Marty, Tim, and Nick do a quick recap of the entire series and share some of the connective tissue from the comics. We also delve into our speculation about the Big Bad behind everything and some of our more wild wants and theories.

Join us in Westview, y'all! And beware, Spoilers Abound!

Listeners, one of the first folks to reach out to us was an up and coming comics writer named Sean. He found the show, reached out to us, based on the fact that the book he was working on jived with Marty's job. So we interviewed him and talked Coyotes, Saints, and a mutual love of comics. Not too long after, he came back to talk about The Few, the end of Coyotes, and hinted at a BIGGER DEAL.

That bigger deal? Superman.

Sean's one of the writer attached to the Future State event, and he has a few back issues that are going to continue past the event.

Join us as our friend comes back to talk about this process, Time Luchadores, how he was approached for the even, and what comes next!

Happy New Year ACC-tion heroes!

Hey there ACC-tion heroes! As we come to the end of the longest decade on record, Tim and Nick take a new view of Astro City: Who should bring this amazing series to life!

So join Tim and Nick as they determine who should play Winged Victory, Samaritan, Cracker Jack and all the rest of Busiek's heroes! And let us know who you want to play your favorites from Astro City!

In this episode, Marty, Tim, and Nick finish Vol 1 of Kurt Busiek's magnum opus, Astro City. This volume is exceptionally difficult to find, so you may have to do some digging on Ebay -- but it is well worth adding to your collection. Last week we did issues 0-2, today we touch on issues 2-6.

We discuss the characters, themes, and art work that make Astro City a beautiful nod to the capes and cowls we love, all while pushing the limits of what we can do with a good superhero story.

We have yet to give this a Kirby Score™ folks, but rest assured it going to be a good one!

This week, Marty, Tim, and Nick delve into Kurt Busiek's Astro City. This on-going series is not just a love letter to the super-heroes we know and love, it is a reconstruction of the capes and cowls. Nick walks us through issues 0, 1, and 2 and sets the ground work for our on going series as we delve into what makes Astro City such a great series.

This week ACC-tion heroes, Marty, Tim, and Nick return to Gail Simone's Hyrkania for Red Sonja: Vol 2. We discuss Sonja's DnD Adventure, our favorites from her party, and what we want to see next!
This week, we even got a chance to do pullbox, and some Bonus Socialism™!

Pullbox:

Animal man: W: Lemire, A: Forman
Marty
Daredevil/Black Widow: Abbatoir W: Starlin, A: Chiodo

Hey there ACC-tion heroes! You may remember when we interviewed Caitlin Yarsky a few months ago, she discussed her love of Umbrella Academy! So naturally, we invited her to come back on the show to talk about the art, framing, and story of this Netflix Original Series.

Caitlin also hints at a new project that she's working on (And if you were on the stream, you got to see the oil painting of the cover to Bliss #4)

So join us as we expand the crew with one of the great artists of our time and delve into the world of Umbrella Academy

This week, we leave 616 and Earth-1 to venture to Hyrkania, to run with the She-devil with Sword, Red Sonja.

Marty, Tim, and Nick delve into the 2014 Reboot by Simone, Geovani, and Jadson with covers by the incredible Jenny Frison. We also have a very deep conversation about the warriors, princes, and who we identify with when it comes to figures of authority and power.

Join us for one hell of a show!
