The Boys are still here. This time with a timely tale we can all relate to. Join Jarret and John as they deep dive into Nick Drnaso's Sabrina, a quiet tale of cold terror and panicky paranoia. It should be fun!

Steve Ditko was a weird one, but he was our weird one. Join us as we tour the grave of a comic great, opining his triumphs and scratching our heads over his less than triumphs. Help us bid this beautiful darling into his own bizarre night.

If you were to wake up in an unknown land, an unknown body, and an unknown soul you may be a member of the DOOM PATROL. Join us as we gallivant through dark and twisting pages of different paintings from different ages as Robotman attempts to sock Mr. Nobody and Crazy Jane faces down her monster like daddy. This is the wildest ride you'll see all day. It's the first of our streak looking at the Morrison way! So sit, listen, to widen up your mind... you'll find your self surround by folks that are of a strange, strange kind. Thank you for making it through those interminable rhymes. Couldn't help myself.

The boys have been back, but now they look to the future by looking to the past. Both are guided by their spirit animals in the myths of Warren Ellis, comic book carrier wave. Delve into the intricacies of teasing out what our future holds through the stories of the greatest disappointed optimistic futurist in comics. Also both John and Jarret say The Authority instead of Planetary at some point. What can we say. All part of the same multiverse.

(reupload to rebalance) The boys are back and smoother than ever (besides Jarret's audio). Welcome to the Second Volume of Panel by Panel where we just right in and discuss the big bad Punisher and what that muther fucker has to say about imperialism, gun culture, just why the hell a cop would adopt the vicious vigilante's symbol, oh and killin' dudes (why maybe answers that previous one). Enjoy or be punished.

Come along with the Panel Pals on a mystical journey to a strange new world (for John and Jarret, at least): Magical Girl Manga! Discover new friends, new enemies, new loves, and new perspectives in our first non-Western comic focused episode, and maybe even learn something about... theory?! I-it's not like we're a criticism podcast or anything!

The Panel Pals finally meet their maker in this attempt to take on the weird world in the Incal. Join Jarret, John, and Zoe as they try to put words to the magical madness conjured by Moebius and Jodowrosky. Come listen to the laughter and tears and triumph in the cosmic pages of the world's strangest comic story! Oh, then Jarret and John have a meandering conversation. Join us!

The boys are back at it with some geek street chic. Who's got the best looks as they pound the pavement for punching in the name of justice? Is Superman's costume any good? Find out as the Panel Pals delve into the gorgeous, gaudy world of superhero costumes!

The panel pals put each other up to the task of revealing their favorite B-List characters and just why oh why they love these hopeless oafs. Jarret goes old school, Zoe outta the box, John too serious (for a change) and Greg gets downright inspirational. Come nod along in agreement or learn about some new little known names. If you feel your voice wasn't represented then send us your favorite B-Lister (with some explanation)at panelbypanelpals@gmail.com music courtesy bensounds.com

The Gang is back with a Book. Sacred Heart takes us into the dark night of a damp neighborhood where all the adults are gone. What's going on here and what's it got to do with Camus, Existentialism, Adolescence, Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll? Come with us as we explore Liz Suburbia's smashing debut. Some Spoilers. Lots of Spoilers. Still worth listening, definitely worth reading. Music courtesy Bensounds.com

The Panel Pals dive into Wertham's old accusation. Is Batman gay? NO! He's queer it it's fabulous. Welcome to the discussion of the Dark Knight with Glow Lights. But what does queerness really mean or look like for the Caped Crusader? Well join if you're curious and stay because being queer can be a helluva lot of fun.

The Panel Pals delve deep into the frightening word of EC Comics. Will they come back alive??? Well, yes, who do you think uploaded this. But will their souls be unsullied? Actually I'm pretty sure their souls were a little sullied already. BUT WILL THEY HAVE FUN? Oh Hell Yeah. Join us at Panel by Panel as we wade through the lugubrious marsh of history's most censored comics...

COMIN' AT YOU HARD FROM THE HARDEST DECADE OF 'EM ALL: 90'S Y'ALL! THIS SHXT IS X-TREME AND OUR X-TEAM JUMPS TWO FEET FIRST INTO WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! Seriously... what the hell is going on in the 90's? Music: www.bensound.com

This week the pals take a dive into the world of the comic book memoir featuring Maus, Persepolis, Shenzen, and Fun Home. They try to get some perspective on just why these things work in the comic form. There's drama, arguments, but everyone comes out better for it all. Gather round and have a listen.

It's a guys day out. So time fer us to do some slicin' and dicin' on our own... Jarret's the best there is at what he does. John is the man only known as Patch. And Greg is straight outta Weapon X. Listen up kiddies cause were talkin' bout yer favorite rough and tumble Wolverine.

The Panel Pals take a long look at the King. Dear Reader, we bring it all! The Bio! The Characters! The Art! The Culture! The Nazi Punch! Whether you don't know squat about Jack Kirby or think yourself the Grand pooba of Kirby facts, our convo has somethin' fer you Lovin' Listenas! (Fun fact: John's T-shirt is the thumb nail, Jarret reads too much Adorno, Zoey's still on that Batwoman good shit, and Greg thinks he's someone he's not! Wild!)

Come friends, let's talk over paneled pages about our past, present, and just what the future holds for all us comic lovers.
