    Hey everyone! It’s all come to this! Our last episode of Dark Roast Comics Podcast :) This week we spend some time talking and wrapping up conversations on all the ongoing series that we're currently covering on the show. We give our thoughts on all the series so far, and give some predictions on where we think all the series will go in the future. We sincerely hope you enjoy this conversation, and hope that you’ve enjoyed this journey with us as well :)   We want to take this time to really thank everyone for coming on this journey with us. A little over a year ago we wanted to create this passion project of ours and share our love of comics with everyone, and we’re very glad to have had the platform to do so through this podcast. We’re glad to have found an audience that was willing to go on this journey with us week in and week out. Whether you’ve been with us from the start, or just discovered us now, we thank you all the same. You guys are the reason we come together every single week to talk comics, and even though this podcast is ending, it doesn’t mean the end! Perhaps in the future we will revisit doing a podcast again, and if that day does arrive, we hope everyone will be willing to come on the ride with us again! We’ve learned so much from doing this podcast, and if we do come back, we promise to come back stronger than ever!   Thank you all so much for being with us through this whole journey. Thank you for giving us your precious time and allowing us to be a part of your lives.   Thank you.   -Jerry and Victor

    Hey fellow Dark Roast Citizens! This week we breakdown and dive deeper into Knightmare with Batman #67, peel back more layers on the mysteries of Justice League #20, get in some high octane action with High Level #2, and experience heartbreak with Venom #12! But before we talk comics, we got some news for everyone. This episode will be the penultimate episode for our show, which actually kind of works with as it’s episode 52 :D Next week we will have a reflection and predictions episode and it will be the last episode for our show. We both decided that due to the changes that will be coming our way in the near future, we cannot keep up with the weekly scheduling that our show centres on. We decided now would be the best time to bring upon the end of the show. We hope everyone checks back in next week as well. We will have some crazy spicy theories for all the ongoing series we are covering! For our coffee this week we have a brew called Sitio Lavrinha roasted by De Mello Palheta Coffee Roasters. This will be our last week with the guessing game, so let’s see how we close this out! What did you think about this episode? What are your thoughts on the Knightmare arc in Batman? Do you think the future Superman spells trouble? What do you think of the potential retcon in Venom? Let us know what you think!   SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW!

    Hey guys! On this week’s episode we tackle the difference between a change in ideal vs a change in execution in The Batman Who Laughs: The Grim Knight #1 and witness the full transformation in Blackbird #6. But before we talk comics, we talk a bit about the state of the MCU, and discuss a bit about the veteran casts in the Avengers. We’re not quite sure how some of the veterans will end their MCU run, but we’re definitely putting our theories out there! For our coffee this week we have a brew Ardi roasted by Timbertrain Coffee Roasters. I’ll say this about this coffee, there were some surprise flavour notes that we would’ve never guessed. And even after the reveal, we still might not! What did you think about this episode? What do you think about the backstory of The Grim Knight? Do you believe the transformation in Blackbird is justified, or does it spell trouble? Let us know what you think!   SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW!

    Greetings! For this week’s episode, we breakdown and discuss all things The Flash #65, Heroes in Crisis #6, Shazam #3, Captain America #8, Daredevil #2, Oliver #2 But before we get into comics, we try and catch up a bit on how our week has been. We kind of go on a huge tangent, so you know, the usual. Victor got himself a new phone, and his Dokkan experience has significantly improved. We also talk a whole lot about stand-up comedy. So, we hope you like stand-up comedy :) Since the new coffee subscription box hasn’t arrived just yet, this week we decided to go out to the local market and pick up some coffee to try! We decided to give a coffee called Guatemala from Irresistibles a try. This is a ground coffee to start, so we’re getting a pretty strong oil aroma from the start. Let’s see how this one turns out! Also, we said in the episode we said the Irresistibles brand is from President’s Choice. Boy were we wrong! It is in fact from Metro. So yes, mistake corrected, phew! What did you think about this episode? What did you think of The Price crossover? Are you any closer to resolving the mystery in Heroes in Crisis? Do you feel sympathetic towards Daredevil?

    PLEASE READ! Hey so before we get started, a quick note on Captain Marvel #2's discussion. So the villain's name is Nuclear Man, and he was formerly called Mahkizmo. We got that mixed up initially and ended up calling him Masochist, which is definitely not what Mahkizmo means. Sorry about that! Hey-yo citizens! This week we talk all things Batman Who Laughs #3, Flash #64, Captain Marvel #2, Blackbird #5, and Gideon Falls #11. It’s an amazing week for indie comics, and these issues further cement to us that indie comics are the future of the industry. We feel the creative freedom that comics creators get really help the story shine and allow for many unexpected things to happen, and Blackbird and Gideon Falls are the perfect examples of that.  But before we get into comics, we catch up on the week we’ve been having, and it has been dominated by - you guessed it - Dokkan! But this time for good reason! The new Broly movie banner came out for our Global version that we play, and the units are all the hype! We dropped stones after stones to try to get these units. Let’s see how we did! The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Sumava roasted by Rosso Coffee Roasters. At the initial sniff test, there’s a pretty earthy undertone, but we can’t seem to get anything distinct from it. Let’s see how the tasting goes! What did you think about this episode? Do you think Batman made the right choice? Do you agree with our sentiment on Captain Marvel? Are you excited about the future of Blackbird and Gideon Falls?

We got two brand new #1s this week so it should be a very exciting time to get our hands on some new series.

But before we get into comics, Jerry and Victor went to watch the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie in theatres, and boy, it was sooo good! If you are a Dragon Ball fan then this is definitely not to be missed! If you are just a fan of action films, this will be right up your alley too! We’re extremely excited about the future of Dragon Ball Super, especially now that Broly is canon in the main universe. The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Kenya Gaturiri roasted by Kaito Coffee Roasters. From the get-go the beans already gave off a distinct and unique aroma and, upon brewing, that aroma absolutely accentuated. Join us as we discuss this unique coffee!

    Episode 43 - Past regrets and futures unknown - Gideon Falls #10, Batman Who Laughs #2, Venom #10

    This week, Jerry and Victor sit down to discuss all things Gideon Falls #10, Batman Who Laughs #2, and Venom #10. A much quieter week in terms of our pull list for the show compared to the previous two weeks. But to be fair, those were catch up weeks from the holidays, so a quieter week is a welcome change. However, even if the number is smaller, still lots to talk about as we hit some critical moments in these stories! But before we get into comics, Jerry talks about his new obsession with a certain anime while Victor continues to tear through Netflix movies. We then veer into another TV show and kind of get off track. And then we talk about a whole bunch of other things. Oh and more Dragon Ball stuff! The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Pangoa roasted by Propeller Coffee Co. Jerry seems to always have trouble with pronouncing the name. Perhaps Victor should take over on pronouncing and introducing the coffee. What did you think about this episode? What did you think about the reveal in Gideon Falls? Do you agree with Batman Who Laughs and his description of Batman? How do you think Eddie Brock will get out of his situation in Venom? Let us know what you think!   SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW!

    We’re back! It’s 2019, and it’s our first official episode of the new year! Wooo! This is now officially (unofficially) Legacy episode 41! We would like to wish everyone a happy new year, and we hope you will enjoy what’s we’ve got in store for 2019. We got some big things planned for the podcast, so hopefully those would all come to fruition. But before we get into comics, we both talk about what we’ve been doing over the holidays. There’s quite a bit of stuff, so it might be best to just leave that to the episode. We will say, it does get quite nerdy. The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called De Dios roasted by Drumroaster Coffee. From the first taste, we’ve got a good feeling about this one. Can this start our new year strong? Will this be the first time where we go 3/3 (or however many notes are in this coffee) on our guesses?! What did you think about this episode? Do you like the current direction of Batman?

    Citizens of Dark Roast City! In this episode, we talk all about hope. Hope in different capacities, different situations. We explore this theme as we discuss Heroes in Crisis #3, Aquaman #42, Aquaman Justice League Drowned Earth #1, and Stranger Things #3 But before we get into comics, Jerry talks about his time playing Destiny 2. He’s been playing a lot of Destiny. This probably might be a recurring topic. Victor is very excited about Gogeta Blue showing up in Dragon Ball Super Broly movie. It's odd that they decided to spoil that already, but oh well. We're happy for it! The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is a mystery coffee roasted by Elysian Coffee Roasters. Upon first sniff, this coffee already promises to be amazing. Apparently we’re also tasked to guess the region that this coffee came from. So let’s see how we do!

    Hello fellow Dark Roast Citizens! In this episode, we go all-in DC with the ongoing mystery in Heroes in Crisis #2, the ever expanding havoc in Justice League Aquaman Drowned Earth #1 (what a mouthful), and a series of incredible shorts in Batman Secret Files #1. But before we get into comics, Victor talks about how he is binging this one show on Netflix. He’s really enjoying this series. Very funny apparently. Listen to the episode to find out which show! Jerry has been getting into anime recently, but he’s now caught up on this one show he’s watching (also on Netflix!), and now he’s sad. The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Three Sisters roasted by Kicking Horse Coffee. Smooth. Savoury. Seductive. These are the words describing this coffee. Let’s see if it lives up to those! What did you think about this episode? Do you now have a better idea who dun it in Heroes In Crisis?

Victor has been playing a lot of Dokkan Battle, but he’s fairly upset this week as he tried to summon more characters and ended up getting “shafted”. He says this a lot in the episode. Jerry is recovering from a sickness. So, kind of a boring week for him. The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Shakisso roasted by De Mello Palheta Coffee Roasters.

We went through our list of books that we were following and covering, and decided that we wanted to keep Batman on our list and didn’t want to fall that far behind. So, this week we decided to combine issues 51 and 52 in the discussion, as we feel the themes from the two issues go hand-in-hand and very much depicts two sides of the coin. But before we get into comics, we catch on the week we had. The 3rd anniversary event in Dokkan battle is finally coming to an end, so moving forward we promise (maybe) to talk about Dokkan a little bit less. Jerry has been feeling under the weather lately, so please excuse all the coughs and sniffles in this episode!

On Justice League, we relax a bit from the breakneck pace of Justice League as we’re given a nice character issue for Lex Luthor, learning about his motives some more. Captain America shows us some more of Cap’s internal struggles on being a man out of time and touch from the rest of the people. But before we get into comics, we talk about our week a bit. Jerry spent a lot of time this past weekend playing video games, while Victor spent some time enjoying the downtown Toronto scene. The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Francisco Caraza roasted by Anchored Coffee! We believe this is the first time we received coffee from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, so we’re pretty excited about what’s to come. What did you think about this episode?

Join our Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/182907015663575/ This week, Jerry and Victor talk about issue 1 of the new Image series Gideon Falls by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. This is a book we’ve been wanting to do for a while now, so we are very excited to finally discuss this book on this episode. We will definitely be coming back to this series as it moves forward in the future. But before we get into Gideon Falls, we talk about the first ever Dragon Ball Super Card Game tournament that we both joined together! Want to know how we did? Find out in the episode! The coffee we’ll be brewing this week is called Beloya from Ethiopia brewed by Timbertrain Coffee Roasters. We noticed that every single week there’s been some note in the coffee that’s very obscure, so we attempt to take a wild swing for the fences! What did you think about this episode? Do you agree with the themes that we covered, and our thoughts and interpretation of Gideon Falls issue 1? We want to know what you think!

Join our Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/182907015663575/ In this episode, Jerry and Victor talk a little about playing in Dragonball Super Card Game tournaments at our local shops, because we like the game a lot. We get into a conversation about Comixology sales, and what we've been reading. We then brewed our coffee and discussed Dark Nights: Metal issues 3 and 4. We go into talking about situations where you will need to cross the line, and whether or not the person can still be considered a hero. We then discuss the difference between fear and desire, and if these two ideas are really just the same concept. Let us know what you think! For our coffee this week, we have a myster coffee brewed by Elysian Coffee Roasters from Vancouver, BC. This week, we put our tasting prowess to the test as the coffee this week has some interesting notes, but most importantly has a mysterious place of origin!
