When it comes to comic-book characters there are few that are as weird as Marvel's chompy tentacle monster known as Venom. But where does the symbiotic goop that makes up Venom come from? Why is it obsessed with Spider-Man? Why is there a bizarre ménage-a-trois between Flash Thomson, Eddie Brock and a mysterious other being? Find out the answers to these and other questions you never asked in our beginner's guide to Venom!

There's an old adage that states that you can judge a person based on the quality of their enemies, so when the person in question has a clear ethical and moral code, conducts himself honourably in almost everything, can be little old fashioned thanks to a brief sojourn as a Capsicle, and is one of Marvel's most beloved characters (thanks to the MCU), you'd expect the villain roster to be full of seriously bad people. Which it is ... up to a point.  Unfortunately Captain America, like so many other comic-book superheroes who've been around for a while, has a few embarrassing skeletons in his closet, and some even stranger enemies ...

Sometimes you don't have to be a vigilante to stop criminals. Sometimes you don't need superpowers to keep the peace. Sometimes all you need is a shiny helmet, big heavy boots to stomp things, a big gun, a cool motorbike, and the knowledge that you are the drokking law. Judge Dredd is the most popular and successful character to emerge from the pages of British sci-fi comics anthology 2000 A.D., but with so many comics, stories, plot threads, spin-offs, crossovers, political opinions and more, finding a place to start getting acquainted with the paragon of law enforcement can be difficult. Thankfully the 4-Panel gang (and resident Drexpert Mick), are ready to take you on a guided tour through the streets and blocks of Mega City One where you can mingle with all sorts of people including norms, flabbies and maybe the odd mutie, play a spot of Aeroball, visit the odd skankerie, learn about the city's history and culture and more.  If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

There's gold in those piles of comics of manga, and the grizzled veterans of 4-Panel are determined to find it no matter how many Clint Eastwood musicals they have to sit through! This episode we're kicking things off with the confusingly titled Thanos: The Infinity Ending before we joining our friendly neighbourhood arthropod for Spidey: School's Out. After that we head over to DC for a stunning reimagining of an iconic character in Harleen, then it's over to Humanoids the dark and bloody Mask Of Fudo before we finish things off with Snow Day.

4-Panel returns from another stint panning for comics and manga gold in the riverbed of graphic literature. Tortured analogies aside, this week is our usual mixed bag of the good, the meh, and the downright bizarre - and not in a nice way. Up for scrutiny are GWAR: The Enormogantic Fail, Loki: Agent Of Asgard (the complete collection), Jughead: The Hunger Versus Vamperonica, The Fourth Power, the first volume of The Reprise Of The Spear Hero, Swimming In Darkness, and the third volume of Granblue Fantasy.  If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

Strange powers aren't a new thing to superhero comics (just check out our episode about Superman's collection of odd, and for the most part thankfully forgotten abilities), and this week it's the turn of Tony Stark to go under our microscope. Get ready for a cavalcade of oddities as we explore the history of Marvel's futurist and some the more bizarre functions of his armour ... and his brain? Oh, and before you ask, billionaire playboy philanthropist genius is not a superpower.

Sometimes you just have to go back to basics in comics, and like the characters out of an old-school fantasy novel, the brotherhood between Marvel's Thor and a horse-faced alien cyborg is something that has become legend in comics. But like every good bromance, this one started with a bit of a punch-up. Join Andrew, Rob and Mick as for this beginner's guide to the last survivor of the Korbinite race that includes The Mighty Thor #337 - 340: The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill, Secret Invasion: Thor, Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill - The Green Of Eden, Annihilators, and The Unworthy Thor.

The 4-Panel gang return with another heaping helping of comics and manga goodness, and this week there's plenty to talk about. First up are Marvel's newest super team and their first few outings in Strikeforce: Trust Me, Jeff Lemire's new world-crossing barbaruan in the first volume of Berserker Unbound, and the first two volumes of Taku Kuwabara's controversial manga series Drifting Dragons. After that it's time for a bit of speed in Spider-Man: Velocity, some colourfully cosmic shenanigans in Silver Surfer: Black, and a return to the strange minds of Alejandro Jodorowsky  and François Boucq on Twisted Tales.

Comic reviews! Get yer comic reviews here! Yes the boys are back with another hot serving of comics reviews (although really that should probably be another newspaper analogy). This week we have Wyrd, Valkyrie: Jane Foster, Web of Black Widow, Black Hammer: Streets of Spiral, Ironheart, Miles Morales: Spider-Man - Bring On The Bad Guys and Manor Black. Please be extra kind with this episode, Andrew unthinkingly googled "Web of Black Widow" while searching for episode art and was bombarded by pictures of spiders.

It lives! Join the boys for a bumper crop of reviews, including: Who Killed Kenny, Fantastic Four Grand Design, The Golden Sheep, Trout, Trail of Blood, Legends of Marvel: X-Men, Agents of Atlas and Guardians of the Galaxy. Apologies for the lateness and the audio drops on this one. Our original recording was completely corrupted, but Rob has done an incredible job of rebuilding it.

Behold... the start of a (mostly) new podcast! Spinning out from 4-Panel, the boys are back with a brand new quest, to watch and rank every superhero adaptation until one stands triumphant as the definitive best. And what better way to kick things off than with the movie that began the modern superhero blockbuster craze, X-Men (2000)! Find out more at https://behold.pinecast.co (https://behold.pinecast.co/)

Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! 4-Panel is back! It's been a little bit of an unplanned hiatus, but the boys are back with a new fortnightly show. Join them for a round-up of the latest offerings from Turnaround books. This week, much like Kino herself, they're on a journey all across comicdom with the aforementioned manga, the sensationally named Superior Spider-Man: Otto-matic and Captain Marvel: Falling Star. Then, they'll be stopping by Conan Corner to check out the Savage Sword of Conan: Conan the Gambler and Age of Conan: Valeria, before soaring the uncharted skies of Marvel's newest hero in Aero: Before the Storm. After all of that there's just enough time to check out the first volume of Umi Sakurai's manga A Man and His Cat before, finally, our heroes tackle the seemingly endless expanse that is Absolute Carnage.

Easter is approaching and to get in the spirit of things, we've been doing some flipping. Only instead of pancakes, it's podcast hosts! This week, Graham and Rob have come from Cinema Eclectica to deliver a level of taste and class never heard before on 4-Panel... and then immediately abandon it as they discuss the cheestravaganza Danger: Diabolik. Then our two intrepid guest hosts show their comics cred by talking about their favourite books, followed by the usual reviews. This week we have Humanoid's Shangai Dream and Warren Bond by Chris Browning. If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

It's practically turning into an aviary at 4-Panel heights as the boys review another Birds of Prey, this one with at least 85% more fabulous emancipation. Join them as they discuss the rise of Harley Quinn, how and how not to handle characters with superpowers and the delicate balancing act of comics accuracy vs. wider market appeal. Well ok, all of that... and breakfast sandwiches. After that, it's reviews as usual. Up this week, we've got Saint Young Men, Savage Avengers and Cells At Work: Code Black.

There’s a new superhero blockbuster out and so the 4-Panel boys are, of course, covering Birds of Prey. Just... maybe not the one you’re thinking of.  Yes, don your leather trench-coats and prepare your vaguely explained superpowers because we’re going to go all the way back to 2002 with the original Birds of Prey tv show.  There’s going to be angsty teens!  There’s going to be bad CGI!  And so. Many. BACKFLIPS!   After that we’ve got a smattering of reviews which include The Wolf Of Baghdad: A Memoir Of A Lost Homeland, Spider-Man: Life Story and Death’s Head: Clone Drive.  If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

Get ready to blast off with Andrew and Rob on an intergalactic voyage of discovery! Join them as they uncover the most bizarre races in the Marvel universe. Will Rob be able to guess the alien race's backstory from just their name? Obviously not... but what elaborate nonsense will he come up with instead? It's going to be scaly, slimey and filled with a surprising amount of Hawkeye. Then it's back down to Earth for the usual comic reviews. This week we have more from Kino's Journey and Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire, League of Legends: Lux and The Bad Bad Place.

Here we are again with our final offering of 2019 - our Christmas Annual!   Andrew, Mick and Rob strengthen their resolve with a bit more Christmas cheer before diving back into the murky depths of the big pile of comics and manga for their favourite discoveries of the year. From stay-at-home Yakuza and amnesiac Martian cyborgs to superhero body horror and a comedic take on old public domain comics, it’s been a strange year overall …   We’ll be back in the next couple of weeks with the third volume of 4-Panel, but until then we hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!  If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

Batman has a long history in comic-books, but unlike characters like Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and others who aren't called Green Lantern, there are more version of Batman than people would believe - and that's before we get to Dark Nights: Metal! So where does one begin with so many different versions of the Caped Crusader? With one of Batman's most controversial and divisive "replacements" obviously ... After that it's time for our regular look at the things that we've been reading, which this week include the first volume of Granblue Fantasy, the third instalment of Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT Omnibus, sci-fi shenanigans in Off-World Blues, and Age Of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men.

We’re back and fully refreshed after a short period off to recharge, and this week it’s the second part of our look at the weirder members of the Justice League. From the original JLA to Justice League Europe, Antarctica (we’re not kidding), and the full-on International version, there are plenty of odd characters to choose from so this may take a while ...   … …   Okay, so this is probably a topic we’ll come back to at some point in the future. For now we’ll leave you with our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which include The Fantastic Four: The Herald Of Doom, Age of Conan: Bêlit, Asgardians Of The Galaxy: War Of The Realms, Secret Warps, and Ignited.

We're kicking things off this week with a quick look at the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix as it's a nice little prelude to our main topic - comic-book adaptations that strayed a lot from the source material (in both the bad ways and the good ways). After that we have our usual look at the things we've been reading, which this week include Meyer by Jonathan Lang, Marvel's Invaders, the second volume of Emanon (Emanon Wanderer), by Kenji Tsurata, The Girl In The Bay by J.M. De Matteis, and X-23: X-Assassin. Also, we apologise for the problems with the audio in this episode.  If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

TV adaptations of comics are all the rage these days, and since our resident comics sage (Andrew), has gone to do Roman things (that may or may not include conquering Europe), we decided to investigate the plethora of live-action superhero shows. From the Adventures of Superman back in 1952, through the swinging '60s Batman years and the '70s Shazam!, Hulk and Wonder Woman, to the modern day Flash, Agents of Shield, Cloak & Dagger and Runaways, join Rob and Mick for a journey through the ages of comic-book superhero television. After that it's our usual look at the things that we have been reading with our eyes, which this week include the third volume of Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama, Meet The Skrulls, and Mr & Mrs X: Gambit And Rogue Forever.

The War of the Realms is the big Marvel crossover event that spun out from the pages of the Thor comics, but with so many characters involved in a fight across the nine realms from Norse mythology, where do you even start.    Join Andrew, Mick and Rob as they wade through a stack of War of the Realms titles, K-Pop superheroes, trailer-park Skrulls, flying horses, ghost cowboys, babysitters, Hench-Con, Ares (The God of War), and a whole lot of other stuff.   Our featured comics on this episode are War of the Realms, New Agents of Atlas (WotR), Journey Into Mystery (WotR), Venom (WotR), Giant-Man (WotR), War of the Realms: War Scrolls,  War of the Realms Strikeforce, Captain Marvel: Re-Entry and Champions: Beat The Devil.

Sometimes you don’t have to look far to see just how weird comics can get, and in this episode we’re looking no further than Superman, who probably has the strangest collection of powers and abilities of any character in comics. Now relatively speaking, flight, super-strength, super-speed, heat vision, X-ray vision, cold breath and invulnerability are pretty normal for a superhero, so what we’re talking about is the really odd stuff.    Get ready for super ventriloquism, super hypnotism, super phasing through solid objects, super shape-shifting, super memory wiping kisses, super throwing symbols, super telepathy, super telekinetic vision, super imagination, and more -  and those aren’t even the weirdest powers!    After that cavalcade of strangeness, it’s time for our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler, Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Heroes, The Ice Wanderer and Other Stories by Jiro Taniguchi, and X-Men: Grand Design - X-Tinction.

It’s our 200th episode, but rather than celebrating this milestone of podcasting, Andrew and Rob decided to try and figure out where the DC could take their premier superhero team now that Bat-fleck and Super-Cavill have hung up their capes. Get ready for a barrage of lesser-known DC characters as we come up with several ideas including a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie, an alternate timeline version of Wonder Woman: 1984, creative use of the supervillain Doctor Destiny, and more. After that we take our regular look at some of the things we’ve been reading, which this week are The Savage Sword Of Conan: The Cult Of Koga Thun, the first volume of Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest by Hiro Mashima, the third volume of Kino’s Journey: The Beautiful World by Keiichi Sigsawa, and Old Man Quill: Nobody’s Fault But Mine.

Hellboy is arguably one of the most recognisable comic-book characters that aren’t part of the Marvel of DC multiverses, and Mike Mignola’s creation has been preventing all manner of occult shenanigans, mystical hijinks and supernatural tomfoolery for twenty five years. Which means it’s a good time to find out more about Hellboy, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence, and punching demons in the face with a big red hand made of stone.    Join Andrew and Rob for a paranormal excursion through the multimedia world of Hellboy.   After all that exercise it’s time for our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week include Anthem: Strong Alone, Stronger Together, the third volume of Mob Psycho 100 by ONE, Deadpool: Good Night, and Daredevil: Know Fear.

It’s every fan of the MCU’s worst nightmare - Sony and Disney-Marvel have split and now Spider-Man has to go live with mummy-Sony. This has led to a lot of wild and worried speculating across the internet, so rather than stick our oar into already muddy waters, we decided to discuss The Boys instead.   That’s the Amazon Prime series adapted from the violent and brutal superhero deconstruction comics by Garth Ennis, not some local gang of jack-the-lads and ne’er-do-wells.   After that it’s time for our usual look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week include Tom Clancy’s The Division: Extremis Malis, B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know - Ragnarok, the third volume of Edens Zero by Hiro Mashima, and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Secrets And Rumours.

Comic-book tropes change over time so this week Andrew and Rob decided to cast a nostalgic (and sometimes harshly critical), eye over some of those that have or are falling out of use. From talking in the third-person, the mysterious narrator, thought bubbles, and the dreaded exposition dialogue, to sidekicks, celebrity appearances, and public service announcements, there’s a whole heap of stuff to talk about.   And yes, we did include the extra muscles and really, really, really skin-tight costumes.   Once that’s over it’s time for our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which this week include Wolverine: The Long Night, Crimson Lotus (From The World Of Hellboy), the second volume of I’m Standing On A Million Lives by Naoki Yamakawa and Akinari Nao, and Sky Hawk by Jiro Taniguchi.

SDCC dropped a lot of revelations about Marvel’s Phase 4, and this week we’re focusing on the announcement that Taika Waititi will be directing Thor: Love And Thunder, and that Jane Foster will be wielding Mjolnir.   So along with the shocking revelation that George Clooney could have played the role of Nick Fury (and the equally shocking reminder that The Hoff actually did), Andrew and Rob get down to more Thor-ness than you can twirl a hammer at with Jason Aaron’s Jane Foster/Thor arc. the Thor Corps, Beta Ray Bill (who is best dude), the ever-so ‘90s Thunderstrike and more.    After that it’s back to business as usual with our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are the first volume of Dead Man Logan, the Uncanny X-Men: Wolverine & Cyclops, West Coast Avengers: City Of Evils, and the first volume of Magus Of The Library by Mitsu Izumi.

It’s the end of July, which means it’s time for another of our monthly comic-book and manga extravaganzas where we try to cram as many different titles into one episode as we can. This month we’ve got another wide-ranging selection that includes the second volume of the HALO: Omnibus, the stand-alone graphic novel HALO: Lone Wolf,  Winter Soldier: Second Chances, Conan the Barbarian: The Life And Death Of Conan, the second volume of Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama, Ironheart: Those With Courage, the fourth volume of Space Boy by Stephen McCranie, and Predator: Hunters II.

San Diego Comic-Con is one of the highlights of the year for fans of all things superhero, and as usual we’re here to add our own brand of shabby chic to proceedings while we talk about the things that DC and Marvel have in store for everyone going forward.    After that we manage to squeeze in a little bit of time for the things that we’ve been reading, which thus week are Marvel Comics: Timeless Tales, the second omnibus edition of Mind MGMT by Matt Kindt, and God of War.

After burning omelettes and being fed tasty chicken, we decided we’d prepared enough to tackle one of the more … confusing additions to Marvel’s burgeoning cinematic universe, the super team known as The Eternals!   Join Andrew, Mick and Rob for an exploration of the shocking history, powerful storylines and memorable characters that make up the group.    Wait. That’s the X-Men, or The Avengers, or The Inhumans, or just about any other team of superheroes.  So what are The Eternals actually famous for?   After that it’s down to the serious business of talking about the things we’ve been reading, which this week include Spider-Man: Far From Home Prelude, Avengers: No Road Home, Captain America: Evolutions of a Living Legend, the third volume Aposimz by Tsutomu Nihei, and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - Worst Among Equals.

On this week’s 4-Panel it’s a festival of Spider-Man versus Mysterio as Andrew and Mick embark upon a spoiler-filled discussion about the latest addition to the MCU - Spider-Man: Far From Home.    Is it as good as Homecoming? Is it the best Spider-Man movie so far?    After answering those (and other), questions it’s time for a new set of musings like why do the two characters have so much beef between them, what are Mysterio’s real origins, how many Mysterios are there really, and other things like that. In order to answer these hugely important questions, this week Andrew and Mick have been reading Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Spider-Man - Redux, and Spider-Man Versus Mysterio.   Oh, and just in case - spoilers ahead.   If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

To celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home we decided to investigate the surprisingly vast numbers of alternative Spider-folk that infest the Marvel’s multiverse, but after kicking things off in the familiar territory of Peter Parker, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, things start going downhill very quickly.   Seriously, the Spider-folk are literally crawling out of the walls.   It’s kind of appropriate that our regular look at the things we’ve been reading begins with Venom: The Abyss, after which we cast off all the spiders for the first volume of the Dept. H Omnibus by Matt Kindt, the first volume of I’m Standing On A Million Lives by Naoki Yamakawa and Akinari Nao, and from the world of League of Legends, Ashe: Warmother.

With the announcement that Robert Pattinson will be donning the mantle of The Dark Knight in the next movie, we take a look at the villains who are set to play a role in the story, which naturally leads us on to some of Batman villains in general. With some of the more … eccentric … members of Gotham’s cavalcade of criminals from the comics and the TV series, it’s only natural that things are going to weird.   After that we get back to our regular coverage of the things that we’ve been reading, which this week are Typhoid Fever (Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Fist), The Whispering Dark by Christofer Emgard, Moon Face by Alejandro Jodorowsky and François Boucq, and X-Force: Sins of the Past.

Soooooo ... Dark Phoenix is finally out in cinemas, and given our feelings about the trailer, the convolutedly confusing history of the X-Men and the Phoenix force itself, and the twisted timelines of the film franchise, we still went to see it. 4-Panel. We watch it or read it so you don't have to :) Anyway, if you want to know about the history of the Phoenix Force then check out 4-Panel Vol. 2, Episode 35 - Dark Phoenix: Mad Jeans And Mutant Men. Today we're doing a review of the film so full of spoilers, they're leaking out of the bottom, After that it's time for our usual look at the things that we have been reading, which this week are Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider (Spider-Geddon), Shuri: The Search For Black Panther, Olivia Twist, Sword Daughter Volume 2: Folded Metal, Archie Meets Batman ‘66.

With everything from plushies to video games under its giant belt, Godzilla is arguably one of the most profitable and marketable monsters on the planet, and with a new movie in cinemas (which we talk about as well), we though it was time for a look at the comic-book and manga  history of the famous kaiju, and surprisingly there’s a lot!    After that it’s back to our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which this week are Avatar: The Legend of Korra - Ruins of the Empire Part 1, Captain America: Winter In America, Man Without Fear: The Death of Daredevil, the second volume of Kino’s Journey: The Beautiful World by Keiichi Sigsawa, and Shatterstar: Reality Star.

Get the headache tablets and the X-Men crazy wall ready because the Dark Phoenix movie is out soon, so we thought it would be a good idea to look back over the very convoluted history of the cosmic entity.    With a full wardrobe of sashes, shawls, capes, children from other timelines, alternate realities, no phoenixes, too many phoenixes, leather, spikes, death, resurrection,  spandex (or lack thereof), big long coats, denim jeans (as opposed to the other types of Jean associated with the Phoenix), and Oprah - it’s a veritable smorgasbord of mutant mayhem.   After that it’s back to normal service with a look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Marvel Knights 20th, Black Panther Vs. Deadpool, Iceman: Amazing Friends, Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter, Runaways: That Was Yesterday, and Is This How You See Me by Jaime Hernandez (part of Love & Rockets).

The Batwoman TV series is on the horizon, so Andrew, Mick and Rob thought it would be interesting to explore the character's rather strange history, and in order to do that we have to go back to the original Batwoman, which isn't the current Batwoman. It was mainly Andrew's idea. With a confusing cast of characters that includes the original Batwoman, Bat-girl, the current Batwoman, Batgirl (not a typo), Batman, Robin, the other Robin, Robin who used to be Batgirl, Superman, Superboy who grew up to be Superman, Bat-Mite, Ace the Bat-Hound, Krypto the Super-Dog, Supergirl, and Comet the Super-Horse (who is officially the worst), it's time to get a nice ball of string and head to the crazy wall. After sanity returns it's time for us to talk about the things we've been reading, which this week are Aliens: The Essential Comics Volume 1 (Outbreak, Nightmare Asylum and Earth War), Aliens: Dust To Dust, Mind MGMT by Matt Kindt, the second volume of Aposimz by Tsutomu Nihei, and X-Men: Black.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is due out in cinemas very soon, and audiences will finally get to see Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio in all his goldfish bowl glory, but that got Andrew, Mick and Rob thinking about the web-slinger's vast cavalcade of criminals. So this week we're ditching the Electros, Vultures, Scorpions and Goblins and heading into unknown, and remarkably weird, territory. After that it's back to business as usual with the things that we have been reading, which this week are Dragon Age: Deception, the first two volumes of Mob Psycho 100 by ONE, The Once And Future Tarzan, the first volume of Witch Hat Atelier by , Beasts of Burden: Wise Dogs & Eldritch Men, and Cloak & Dagger: Negative Exposure.

The first Saturday of May has passed, and as is traditional the 4-Panel gang take a break from their usual shenanigans to pan for gold in the river of free comic books.  So what nuggets (golden or otherwise), did Andrew and the back-from-overseas Rob find? Well, there's The Avengers (also featuring The Savage Avengers), Spider-Man, Dear Justice League, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters by Emil Ferris, Lady Mechanika by Joe Benitez, H1 Ingition, Animosity Tales (featuring Mary Shelley: Monster Hunter), Spawn #1, Bloodshot (featuring Fallen World Prelude), Stranger Things (featurung Black Hammer), Interceptor #1, Grumble Vs.

Would it be fair to say we have a lot of issues?  If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

Join Andrew and Mick as they embark on an in-depth discussion about what may become the most successful movie of all time.  That's right. They're getting into the nitty-gritty of Avengers: Endgame for a no-stone-unturned investigation of the good, the bad, and the Thanos, which means this episode is going to have a lot of spoilers. If you're one of the few people on the planet who have yet to see the film (looking at you Producer Rob who's stuck in the tropical countryside with no electricity or internet), then DO NOT LISTEN to this until you've seen the movie.   After breaking down the newest addition to the MCU into quantum particles, it's time for our usual dose of the things we've been reading, which this week are Cullen Bunn's Asgardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Endgame Prelude.  If you enjoyed the podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

After 182 episodes and a whole lot of Nightwing butts we've finally figured out a new review system, and to make it even better it's in rhyme! It might only be natural since Andrew and Mick are in control (Rob is on the other side of the planet), and they've got a lot of issues to deal with since it's time for another of our monthly comics and manga catch-up episodes!  So what do this hapless pair of miscreants have in store for everyone? It's funny you should ask as as there's as there's Marvel's What If? With Great Power, Predator: The Essential Comics volume 1, She Could Fly by Christopher Cantwell, The Spine Chillers by Ben Clark, B.P.R.D.: Vampire, Domino: Soldier Of Fortune, Deadpool: Secret Agent Deadpool, Trout: Bits & Bobs, and the first volume of Sun Takeda's fan-service manga that inspired our new review system - Gleipnir.
