    This is the one, the Ahsoka episode! Adam joins me for a (lit, tbh) long hour-plus discussion of the show so far, at the end of this episode! Let's do it.  Podcast notes for this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep104-ahsoka-hour-the-star-card-knight-terrors-wrap-up-gotham-war-explained-fall-of-x-catch-up-more-comicsmangaanime  Kicking it off with TAROT 00:05:46 and our Card of the Week, #17: the Star! After the history and symbolism, I cover the card's Interpretation/Meaning 14:55, and finally the always fun Pop Culture references 18:00 and summary.  MANGA segment 25:19 includes the little bits of manga news, followed by catching up on what I've been reading in the world of manga lately.  COMIC BOOKS 32:47 starting with October release news. Recent Reads/Events 39:07 including Kelly Thompson's The Cull #1, the finale of Dark Knights of Steel, plus Marvel Unleashed #1 and a ton more, all leading into catching up with the ending of Knight Terrors, which itself leads into the Batman/Catwoman Gotham War. On Marvel's side, the extensive Fall of X books have been read and summarized as well as I think is reasonable.  TV/Movies/Anime segments 1:24:59 start with everything new and noteworthy, including new English anime dubs, shows I've caught up on or started fresh, and some recent movies and one-off's that I've also enjoyed. Really quickly, there's also relevant News/Announcements 1:32:39. Finally, (with Adam joining the discussion here) after some actually pretty solid discussion of the Harley Quinn show's finale of season 4 (and what we'd like to see in a season 5), we get to Ahsoka! The show, that is. Be warned, we saved recording this until we'd already cracked a few beers, so what you're hearing is raw, mostly unfiltered drunk nerds get excited about the Clone Wars and Rebels series' long-game outcome. Hail Filoni, tbh. It's so good to see....you get it. It's all in there, I hope the discussion isn't too wild. I'll be back with another episode uhhhh hopefully by the end of the month! Lots going on in life atm, so scheduling my recordings have been kinda difficult. But I shall return, and Adam too! There's at  least, what, 2 more Ahsoka episodes to cover? And always, always, more comics, manga, and anime. The Fall 2023 anime season will be announced soon, too!

    Hello and welcome back to the Yancy St Podcast! We're happy to have you.  Podcast notes: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep102-the-devil-and-baphomet-explained-animeanimation-and-unionization-forced-musical-episodes-and-more  I got a little excited about the TAROT Card of the Week this week, which is #15: The Devil 00:02:59. It actually takes up most of the episode, so I'll give each section it's own timestamp: Description/Symbolism @ 00:15:56. Interpretation/Meaning @ 00:25:50. Pop Culture @ 00:28:36. Summary @ 00:37:00. I know it seems like a lot but we've got a ton in here: historical explanation for Baphomet, Marvel, Anime, DC and Justice League character correspondences, Devil designs through history and the historical evolution of how we got there, and more. Here's the link to my Satana podcast special: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-hellstrom-the-devils-daughter-satanic-panic-seduction-of-the-innocent-the-comics-code-full-character-history  The weekly COMIC BOOKS Lo-Down on Recent Reads/Events 00:39:39  includes DC's Knight Terrors and Marvel's Fall of X, plus The Sacrificers #1, Amazing Spider-Man Annual, and more.  Adam joins the chat for the TV/Movies/Anime segment 00:49:41, where we talk animation and unionization--while we see most of Hollywood put on pause for the SAG-AFTRA strikes, when will voice actors and animators get their own justice? We finish with the shows, currently Harley Quinn S04E04 56;28 (The First Person to Come Back From a Business Conference Without Chlamydia), and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S02E09 (Subspace Rhapsody). And boy, that musical episode was certainly....certainly something.  Join the Yancy St Discord! https://discord.gg/gU59jDUt and be back next week for more comics, pop culture, tarot (the Tower!), and more.  !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   NEW: Adam's Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40  Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ    Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

Link to Elektra Daredevil action figure review: https://youtu.be/r-2iTXXNXI0  Tarot Lessons Card of the Week 00:07:12 is #14 of the Major Arcana, Temperance! A card of balance, blending, and queer identity. Plus Marvel and Anime tarot references!  The Manga segment 00:19:18 briefly covers My Dress Up Darling volume 9, as well as Superman VS Meshi @2. The segment for COMIC BOOKS 00:21:35 starts with covering recent releases, including Ultimate Invasion, Hellcat and She-Hulk finales, Marvel's the Fall and DC's Knight Terrors. For coming this week, we have an even better list of fun releases that I'll be covering on the next episode! Finally, I go over some more of what to expect and look forward to for comic books in this month of August.  TV, Movies, and Anime begins at 00:43:42, talking briefly some new things for the Summer Anime Season such as Mashle, Pokemon, and Saint Cecilia. Also gone over are The Little Mermaid, and on the wildly opposite end of the spectrum, A Knock at the Cabin. Then, Adam leads the short talk on the upcoming Castlevania spinoff show!  We end as usual with Current Shows 00:46:45, starting with the latest Strange New Worlds (S02E08), and a somber ide of the franchise. 51:36 sees us go into the Secret Invasion finale, and then remember that the Loki Season 2 trailer came out, and so we get a lot into that one, too! It ends with Harley Quinn S04E01-3 1:05:03, a delightful kickoff to what is hopefully not the final arc of the show.  Come back next week for more comics, more shows, more tarot, and whatever else we come up with by then!

The MANGA Segment  19.31is mostly a brief check-in about those DC Comics Manga being released in English, which are all enjoyable so far! There's a lot for COMIC BOOKS 21.23, starting with news, which covers "Big Two" news for October-- Halloween specials, one-shots, series kick-offs, and more! Then we get into Recent Reads/Events 32.26, talking my surprising love for Tales f the Titans #1, the new Harley Quinn anthology, and more. Dc's Knight Terrors event is covered starting at 40.31, and I am completely caught up! Going into TV/MOVIES/Anime 48.23, we stat with what's New and Noteworthy, including the Summer 2023 anime season, Minx, and a lot of love for They Cloned Tyrone.  The News/Announcements/Rumors 54.20 is entirely what comes from SDCC 2023, including new action figure releases from Mezco and Hasbro. That also leads us into the trailer for THE MARVELS 1:03: 54, where I break the thing down, add in my own questions and theories, and go over the comic book arc that introduces Park Seo-joon, playing alien character Yan D' Aladna (NOT Carol's husband in any way).  We finish with tar Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 1:14:09, covering episodes S01E06: Lost in Translation  and S02E07: Those Old Scientists, which is the crossover the Lower Decks!

    Join The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/XTX2PZJ7 We've entered the hottest part of the year, just in time for Convention season! But the heat isn't the only major complication this year. More in the news segment! Podcast notes for mentioned links/to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep99tarot-history-12-mcu-synergy-fatigue-dcs-knight-terrors-x-men-before-the-fall-mawsuperman-trekusawhouk-more Continuing our Tarot Lessons, the Card of the Week 00:03:19 is Major Arcana #12: the Hanged Man. I found what I thought was some neat history, trailing down into the usual pop culture references and concluding with the modern take on the card.  There's a bit of news for Comic Books 00:15:46, which contains spoilers for the recent Fallen Friend issue and the future of the character in question. The base of our MCU Fatigue discussions found in this episode starts here.  The fairly extensive Recent Reads/Events 00:23:52 covers almost a month of comics catching up, including talk about both the current Marvel and DC comic events. For Marvel, I put together a somewhat brief summary of the Sins of Sinister event and how it leads into our current Before the Fall "precursor" event. Then for DC, I have a very basic rundown of the Knight Terrors event backstory, and a few of the stories that have happened so far. More for both next episode! Other comics discussed in slightly more-depth include Doctor Strange #5, Jon Kent's new series, the end of Hairball, the complicated feelings on Captain Marvel through Dark Tempest #1 (and her movie), and of course, more on Fallen Friend.  Shows/Movies/Anime 00:51:50 begins with what we've been currently watching, starting with a longer discussion of Hijack (AppleTV+) and ending with one about My Adventures with Superman (MAX)! Both are very positive, just so ya know.  Then News for this section 001:04:04, with some Anime Expo announcements, some Greta Gerwig mentions, and a good amount of discourse on the VARIOUS big strikes happening right now, and how that'll effect both con season and the immediate future of fandom. Adam mostly covers the real talk on the latest Secret Invasion episodes 01:13:34, covering the BIGGEST reveals, who's lived and died so far, general MCU observations, and a fair amount of theories.  Last is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 01:21:34, covering episodes 3-5 of season 2. All of them have been delightful, IMO, true to the spirit of Trek. On that note, we also ended up talking Doctor Who, and my "theory" on how the two shows are basically the same thing.  The end! I'll be back as soon as I can manage, so stay hydrated, but metaphorically sweaty.

    The catching up starts with an unfortunate loss, the obituary of THE John Romita Sr. (0:05:03). A legend across publishers, eras, characters, and influences, his career was one that will always remain vastly important to the history of comic book publishing.  Podcast Notes for links and reading along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep98-jrjr-justice-card-pride-month-manga-highlights-comic-book-news-strange-new-worlds-s2-secret-invasion-the-flash  In our episodic Tarot Studies (00:11:15), we discuss the history, symbolism, interpretation, and pop culture references of the 11th card of the Major Arcana, Justice! Coinciding comic characters: Magik and Valkyrie.  Instead of a Manga of the week this go-round (00:23:49), I decided this June for Pride Month, I'd do a Pride Month Highlight on Great Queer Manga: highlighting the diversity of characters, topics, and settings of LGBTQ+-based manga! I've compiled a list of 7 beloved queer manga (plus a few favorites of our own!) to briefly describe and, I hope, catch your interest.  Moving forward into  my bit on Comic Books (00:34:57), I have a LOT of comics from May/June to cover, which I've finally caught up on! This includes the finale to Thompson's Captain Marvel series, the premier of Tom King's coming Wonder Woman, Hickman's return to Marvel with ultimate Invasion, and much, much more! As for what's new Next week (6/28) (00:52:43 ), we have some great variant covers to mention and celebrate.  Comic Book News (00:55:51) includes Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey, Rafael Grampa's Gargoyle of Gotham, Hickman's utter glory, and Alyssa Wong's October Captain Marvel! Lots to talk about, and even more to come.  Which brings us right into the parts for TV and Movies (01:12:08), starting with some brief notes on what I've been watching lately: HMU about that FROM finale, PLEASE. Announcements/Rumors; Trailers; and Anime News (01:14:52) are gone through pretty quickly, so see the podnotes for the links to details and elaboration! Finally, CURRENT TV: (01:32:27) Starting with Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episodes 1 AND 2, then going into Secret Invasion's episode 1 premier! So much fun, for so many reasons. And are you, as well, looking forward to the SNW/Lower Decks crossover? I'm ready.    And that's it this week. I'll be back as soon as I am able, odd are with Adam included! We'll talk more Trek, more Marvel, more Manga and Anime, and as always, more Comics.

Creator Fez Ikwright's site (10/10): https://rosdottir.com/  Our Card of the Week of the  major arcana this week is #10: Wheel of Fortune! Using tarot-heritage.com's wonderful history and summary, the wheel of fortune is duly explored through historical context, imagery, and meanings. Pus the usual Anime Tarot archetype and Marvel Tarot TRIO (count them--3!) comic characters assigned to the card! Manga of the week 00:21:26 is The Angel Next-door Spoils Me Rotten, a manga I've been reading based off an original light novel series. The story's anime premiered on Crucnyroll in the past year, so check that out if you do subs! Manga News 00:24:41 includes potential ends for Chainsaw Man and the start of a....Doc Oc in a schoolgirl's body manga? Yerp. As for Comic Books 00:31:11, yes, I am behind again. BUT, I have a lot to say about Cantwell's Hellcat series, which I'm still loving, and the developments in Patsy Walker's life (and death?). I also cover Disney's Maleficent #1 (very, very good) and issue 5 of 6 of the Ambassadors! Then, a brief rundown of what's New Next Week (well, this week, June 7th) 00:39:11, including another issue of Ambassadors and if my calendar is correct, Maleficent #2! Three points of Comic Book News 00:43:27 cover Hickman/Schiti's G.O.D.S. at Marvel, Thompson's new Birds of Prey at DC, and the apparent impending Bat/Ca Gotham War, of which  neither of us are particular fans. Fingers crossed it ends how we hope! Finally into TV/MOVIES 00:51:17, going over for starters the new things we've been watching and enjoying this week, including Demon Slayer, Mashle, and Oshi No Ko (we also watched the first episode of American Born Chinese after recording--10/10 fantastic, if you were still wondering). And very quickly, some anime announcements 00:53:25, with at least one new English dub on the way this week! And Then: SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE @ 00:55:51 and through to the end! We talk new characters, theories wild and sane, general reactions, and everything else we could think of!

    Ep.96: The Hermit! Iron Man and Emma Frost Get Married?! Ms Marvel in Wells-er-Man, RuriDragon, Comic News and More!

    Hello and good afternoon, everyone! Anna and (sometimes) Adam, back at it again with a new podcast episode! Anna's Insta is linked below, Adam's is https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40  Podcast notes to follow along should you wish to do so: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep96-the-hermit-iron-man-and-emma-frost-get-married-ms-marvel-in-wells-er-man-ruridragon-comic-news-and-more  This week's Tarot Studies 0:04:01 covers our Card of the Week for the Major Arcana, #9: The Hermit! I talk a little history, description and symbolism, meaning, and pop culture references! Additionally, due to the Anime Tarot's Hikikomori card for the Hermit, I go through the differing definitions of Hikikomori, NEET, Otaku, and Weeaboo, as described by the Japanese Ministry of Health.  As part of our regular Manga segment, this week's Manga of the week 0:20:01 is the elusive Ruri Dragon! Written and illustrated by Masaoki Shindo, for whom the series has had to take a break due to the creator's health. Available on the Shonen Jump app, hopefully the hype keeps up long enough for Shindo to make a glorious return for Ruri and co! The weekly COMIC BOOKS chat 0:25:04 starts with fairly extensive Comic Book News--and Adam's main involvement of the episode this week. News we cover includes August Marvel and DC announcements, the somewhat curious line of Fall of X books, Tony and Emma's coming marriage (yep, really), and of course, those ASM #26.....choices. That was....truly a choice. We all know why, but that doesn't make it any better. Lame. Anyway. I wrap up comic news with some Frank Frazetta talk regarding the upcoming Dynamite Fire and Ice series.  There's a week or two of Recent Comic Reads 0:58:23, including the penultimate Captain Marvel, Spirit World, Avengers, and at least a TRIO of really fun indie titles. This is followed by what is coming for New Comics Next Week (5/24) 01:08:09: some series starts and some very coo continuations, IMO! The TV/MOVIES segment 01:13:46 includes a little bit of what I've been watching this week, like Netflix's Yakitori anime, before getting into some brief Announcements 01:15:05. Lastly, for Anime News 01:18:56, I have a few points of interest that include English dub announcements as well as releases for later seasons this year! Come back next week for more tarot lessons, more comic books, manga and anime, pop culture, and more, for the last week of May! Keep it sweaty; it's a good time to be a nerd.

    I'll be the first to admit we might have been cracking some beers doing this recording, so I hope you enjoy it! This is a much less regimented episode than I usually do, so let me know what you think of the format compared to "usual" weeks.  Admittedly limited podcast notes for this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep95-the-chariot-of-tarot-the-manga-villainess-james-gunns-dcu-superman-legacy-casting-chat-gotgv3-and-more  Tarot card of the week is the Chariot! I don't have anything too interesting for history unfortunately, just the usual symbolism, meanings, and pop culture. The Manga of the Week is The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess! Not available in print in English, so that's up to you to figure out. But man, do I love this one! Easy to catch up on as it's only about 8 chapters in!  Which ends what I actually planned for the episode--the remainder is free reign discussion between myself and Adam about recent Geek culture/pop culture events. We start with the recent casting rumors and short lists for James Gunn's much looked-forward-to Superman: Legacy movie. We go through our wants and expectations, along with the names who might be playing various important characters.  Then it's continuing the Gunn discussion with Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Granted, we haven't seen it in theaters, but I've seen enough and heard enough to know I won't be seeing it there period. We are not a household that puts up with visceral animal pain. But there's more than that to talk about, and so with what we know, we do. Lastly, it had to happen: more Amazing Spider-Man comics discussion, this time in connection to footage from the upcoming Spider-Verse movie! But don't just stop here, the whole episode is full of little bits and pieces of geek culture being talked about, including the DnD movie, DC's Knight Terrors event, and more! I hope you enjoy our tipsy chat, and there should be a slightly more regular episode back again next week--unless y'all really prefer this! Let me know.  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/vRN5NNre -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

    Good morrow! Back at it again with my cohost/husband, Adam! He's here this week to talk Demon Slayer (manga), Amazing Spider-Man (ASM), The Flash (DCU) trailer, and more!

We're talking some light(er than last week) history, symbolism, meaning, and pop culture references! Our Manga of the Week 00:18:48 is none other than Demon Slayer! One of the most popular series' of this era, Adam has collected and read the entire manga, so he's pleased to share it with you with his thoughts! Followed by brief points of Manga News 00:26:09. For a full list of manga releases coming in this month of May, check out the Otaku Calendar site for May: https://otakucalendar.com/Calendar/2023/5 As it's the first pod of the new month, technically, I have quite some extensive comic book previews. The comic book segments start 00:28:17 with covering some Recent Reads, including the Powergirl Action Comics B-Story, end of the arc for Grim, Hairball, Harley Quinn, the Ambassadors, the final issue of Lovesick, and more Clea in Doctor Strange. PLEASE be sure to check out her podcast special I did for her last year if you want to know anything additional about her character--I'm the Resident Clea Pro! Comic Book News 00:42:11 has two small upcoming series announcements and a note on the ending of the Captain Marvel series, before I let Adam go off about the current Zeb Wells-run Amazing Spider-Man series, AKA Amazing-Cuck-Man, AKA Amazing Paul, AKA Wells Cuck Fantasy, AKA---we could go on. Nothing makes sense.  But then there's still MAY comic series/one-shot kick-offs 00:55:19; JULY BIG-2 Highlights (from solicits); a preview for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023 (Sat. May 6th!) 01:02:48; and finally, New Comics Next Week (5/3/2023) 1:07:39. Which leaves us with the TV/MOVIES 01:09:47 segment. After some brief notes on the current spring 2023 anime and live-action shows, we're talking News and Announcements 1:11:44, which covers Grant Morrison's legendary Titans cameo, plus excitement about season 2 of Strange New Worlds! I'm currently making Adam rewatch the first with me.  The only Trailer 01:16:36 to speak of this week was that additional Flash trailer, for which Adam and I have WIDLY different takes! Who do you agree with more?!? Finally, Anime News 1:22:34 has just a few points of things to look forward to later this year and beyond.  That's it for this week, and thank you all for tuning in!

    My description was too long last time so I'll try to be more brief! It'sbeen a few weeks (long story), so with all this content too cover, I had to bring in a special co-host! Follow Adam on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40/ Link for podcast notes to follow along if you want: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep93-rip-lance-reddick-guest-host-mandalorian-wrap-up-recent-comics-trailersnews-the-lovers-card-kaiju-no8-more  As promised, we begin this week with a tribute 05:22 to Lance Reddick: actor, artist, musician, and geek. He is a vast talent that will truly be missed.  The tarot studies major arcana card of the week 12:12 is card #6: The lovers (which is gunny, cause co-host). I talk a LOT about the history of this one, which i hope you find just as interesting as I did! The deck of the month is Tarot Mucha from Lo Scarabeo.  Our Manga of the Week is Kaiju No.8, in a discussion primarily led by Adam! Followed by Manga News 47:54.  The Comics segment begins 52:24 with what is new this coming week (the last of April), and then has a LOT of catching up on recent comic book releases, including this final arc of Captain Marvel, the first issues of Hellcat, eternally more love for Purgatori, and so much more! TV and Movies segment 1:37:05 starts with some new and noteworthy titles including the so-far Spring Anime releases, Beef with Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, and a few others.  Star Wars Celebration wrap-up 1:42:45 includes the teasers and trailers, the new "trilogy" announcement, and what we hope for the future!

    Ep.92: Mando Catch-Up Ch.20/21! Secret Invasion + Blue Beetle trailers! Legacy of ”Big Two” Female Comic Creatives, & More

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 4, 2023 84:56


    The past few weeks have been a lot, I won't lie. Nothing need to know, but life does get in the way at times and this was certainly one of those times. As always, and maybe in the spirit of the anime Shoujo Heroine, we will continue moving forward with time and continue to strive to do our best, whatever that may entail on a day-to-day basis.  Podcast notes to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep92-mando-catch-up-ch2021-secret-invasion-blue-beetle-trailers-legacy-of-big-two-female-comic-creatives-more  One of the hard points recently was the news of the passing of celebrated geek, musician, actor and voice actor, Lance Reddick. The dust hasn't quite settled enough for the tribute I feel he is required, so I don't have it here on this episode. But he is due the respect of proper obituary on this podcast, so when we are ready, it will happen. In the meantime, if you have any stories of Lance, please feel free to share them wherever you can so I can add that to his tribute.  Starting with Tarot 06:41, I remembered this week to give the note on Divinatory Tarot and the Like that I meant to go over last week, and the full article it came from can be found here: http://hearingshofar.blogspot.com/2010/03/aries-shofar-at-pesach.html Card of the Week for our tarot lessons continuation is #5: the Hierophant. I have the description, symbolism, meanings and interpretation, plus a bit of history and some fun pop culture references! Manga of the week 0:19:23 is, ironically, it turns out, Tokyo Demon Bride Story by TADAICHI NAKAMA! Ironic, because I also learned today that this is the last day of it's publication: the manga ends as of today, April 3rd. While it seems to have a fair amount of haters, I found it quite charming and entertaining. Tokyo Demon Bride story can be found on the Shonen Jump app.  Manga News for the week 22:26 includes the MyAnimeList Ultimate List of Manga Recommendations (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2023-03-31/myanimelist-releases-ultimate-list-of-manga-recommendations/.196585 ) as well as a number of other starts and finales.  Comic Book News 25:50 is a touch heavy this week, starting with the frankly ludicrous twitter debate of Comics vs Manga, and going into the sad truth of our female creators in comics, and how their legacies are sabotaged by the publishers who hired them. The discussion came from the following tweet: https://twitter.com/ComicBookHerald/status/1636013058890903553?s=20 . We also gave some time and thought to the legacy of Carol Danvers, and how the cancellation of her series at issue 50 is NOT a good decision for anyone involved, even so much as to relate to the previous point about female Big Two creators. Plus I have some King/Sampere Wonder Woman thoughts, which I don't think anyone will have an answer for until her landmark 800th issue.  I talk a bit about the kick-off's from 3/22 0:37:49 plus some of what was new this past week, 3/29. As always, this is only a tiny fraction of all comic releases each week, so be sure to contact your local comic purveyor for the full details on what you may be interested in! Comics are, as always, for everyone.  We get into the TV/MOVIES segement 0:41:31 ith what's New and Noteworthy lately, including Yellowjackets season 2, Wellmania, Unstable (wow, bit of trend here, eh?), School Spirits, and more. We're back to having a PROPER News/Announcements segment this week, starting with the RUMORS: 48:13, then MCU: 51:59 including the leaving of Victoria Alonso and Ike Perlmutter, Secret Invasion info and theories, the necessary mentioning of changes that may come to Loki season 2's cast, Liv Tyler's Betty Ross, and the casting of Wonder Man's brother, Grim Reaper. Then DCU: 1:03:16 talking Batman 2's villain, a certain unfortunate project, and of course, the Blue Beetle trailer! Big ups and downs in the pop culture news this week, for sure.  Anime News 1:06:58 has me talking Spring 2023 Lineup English Dubs (no dates! why no dates, Crunchyroll?) as well as new Anime and show announcements, including the Netflix Scott Pilgrim project, Konosuba, Re:Zero, Spy x Family, Girlfriend Girlfriend, and more! Finally, I get caught up with where we're at with the Mandalorian season 3, talking chapters 20 and 21: the Foundling and the Pirate, respectively. From space pterodactyls to HOLY SHIT I forgot to finish talking about episode 21...ummmmm oops. I'll see if I remembe to talk about the Armorer + Bo Katan next week! heh. oops.  And that's it! happy to have you here. Please rate/like my episodes so they get seen by more listeners, and thank you as always for your support. Next week we'll talk card #6, the Lovers, plus a new Manga of the week, more shows and movies and Mando, more anime, and tons of fun, I hope.  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/kGnRXwEP  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

This sweet, still early-on series is heartwarming, wholesome, and only ever getting better.  Manga News 0:23:53 features a numbers of announcements on new English releases coming through the year. Comic Books 0:31:06 features what was New This Week, as well as Comic Book News and June Release Announcements 0:37:09, including the full DC Pride 2023 lineup, new Tom King series', and a fair amount of indie love. I also had o stop and talk about Purgatori some more 0:50:15, the new focus of the Halloween 2023 podcast special, who I hope I can make you all love as much as I immediately did.  TV and Movies 0:53:54 begins with what is New and Noteworthy over the past week, incuding History of the World part 2, Class of '07 (Amazing!), Ted Lasso s3, making fun of Gotham Knights, and more. Only one announcement this week, if you can call it that 0:58:03; followed by another discussion of American Born Chinese (coming to Disney+ March 23rd!), including famed artist James Jean's thoughtful statement on the show and the artistic poster he created for it.  The Anime segment  1:04:22 is almost entirely anime news, which is a lot of premier dates for the most part. I'm generally a dub watcher, so I love to see new English dubs being made, among all the rest of the news.  OF course, we end it all with Mando Ep. 3 1:08:34 titled Chapter 19- the Convert! and just who IS this convert? Because there's more than one option, and I think it's clear based on my take here what convert I'm more excited for, and why! This IS the way, nerds. I love it. No ragerts.  I'll be back next week with episode 92, covering the Hierophant tarot card and history, a new Manga of the week, all kinds of geeky news, a ton of comics talk, and more Mandalorian coverage!

    I started today with a brief note on philosophy/psychology 0:03:07, due to an in-depth friend conversation I had about this Agnes Callard article https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/13/agnes-callard-profile-marriage-philosophy (CW for divorce, abortion, motherhood regret, relationships, etc) I'm curious what thoughts listeners might have to add.

While I don't have so much history on this card per-se, I have some interesting insights that, oddly enough, tie into some more psychology, if just a bit. Plus some interesting and feminine connection to last week's High Priestess card!  Next week is #4, the Emperor! The Manga segment 0:19:59 begins with our new Manga of the Week: Daily Report About my Witch Senpai, by Maka Mochida! We take these two sweet little slice-of-life volumes as a cooling off period after going hard last two week with Boys Over Flowers and the Wallflower. Followed by a good but of Manga News 0:22:52, which is a bit I'm still working on perfecting! Should I just report the ones I'm familiar with, or is continuing to look for more new and interesting things a good way to expand all our manga/anime knowledge?? ( I feel like I just answered my own question) For Comic Books 0:30:03, we begin with what was NEW this week, arriving in shops March 8th! There's plentiful kick-off's to new series', both indie and "big-two." There are two bits of Comic Book News 0:37:30, one very positive, and one less so. Also, a short discussion of What Happened to Donny Cates? Please note I jest in good humor, please don't send me internet hate over a straight white man, lol. Then the past week's Recent Reads and Events 0:42:12 includes more Lazarus Planet after-shocks, including that awful (awfully cheese-ball) Batman v Robin ending, two Stephanie Phillips kick-offs, and a Stephanie Phillips finale (her Harley Quinn run), plus more! For whatever reason, I've been wanting to go back and finish Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's Empress (2016; 7-issues), so I decided to make it a feature on this episode 0:54:35. Only when I was doing this write-up did I realize that it was perfect timing, alongside this week's tarot study of the Empress card. Ha! anyway. I give a little summary, but my full summary is on the linked podcast notes. Which brings us to the TV/Movies segment 01:00:34, starting as usual with what was New (to me, at least) and Noteworthy over the past week or so, plus some exciting announcements that includes the screen adaptation of The Good Asian, the 2022 Eisner Award Winner for best Limited Series! And for damn good reason. There's a bit of Anime news 1:06:05, then finally... Mandalorian season 3 episode 2, Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore. Folks, it's spoiler city here, and probably isn't a good segment for your kids to overhear, cause this bitch got EXCITED. If you thought I got too sweaty last week, it's in a whole new universe on this one, babyyyyyy! But, I mean, if you watched it, you get it, right? Right?! Come back next week for the 81st episode! The Emperor in Tarot, more MANDO, a new Manga of the Week, exciting new comic reads, and always so much more! Keep it sweaty, folks, It's better that way.  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/vRN5NNre -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

    Ep.89: MANDO S3: Apostate! The Wallflower! Quantumania?! Steven Yeun Sentry, HeckBoy, & more news + Lazarus Planet Wrap-Up!

    So about this late upload.....oops? Episode 90 still coming tomorrow, the 9th! Podcast notes for various things referenced: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep89-mando-s3-apostate-the-wallflower-quantumania-steven-yeun-sentry-heckboy-more-news-lazarus-planet-wrap-up  Starting off the week with Tarot Studies 0:04:14, and this week's Card of the Week, #2: the High Priestess. Interestingly, the history of the High Priestess is quite different than that of the Magician last week, in that there are a number of real world conspiracies tied into the card's origin. Plus the three character connection from the Marvel Tarot (2007--and in need of an update, tbh), as well as the High Priestess' character archetype from the Anime Tarot! As this is the first episode of March, I also have a new Tarot Deck of the Month 0:24:17, which for March is the Pagan Cats Tarot, aka Tarot of Pagan Cats! Delightful, artistic, and so creative! The Manga segment 0:26:50 has our very in-depth Manga of the Week: The Wallflower (aka Perfect Girl Evolution)! Also having run as a delightful and popular 25-episode anime, the Wallflower was one of my first manga I read as a teen, and like last week's Boys Over Flowers, will always hold a special place in my heart. Check out the connecting Podcast Notes to see how much I DIDN'T include in the podcast, but is still all there in my write-up! Endless information; I wasn't lying when I said I love this one! That leads into a decent list of New and Continuing Manga for this new month of March 0:40:50, which again, has a much more in-depth version on the written notes linked above.  Once again, the Comic Books segment 0:44:09 starts with what's new and interesting in March, from a variety of publishers, as well as releases I'm just generally looking forward to. After that is the New Comics This Week list--which I feel like I have to casually remind you is only a small portion of all weekly comic releases! Check out your local comic shop or online retailer for a full list of what releases for comics each week. The Recent Comic Reads & Events 0:50:49 segment includes the wrap-up of DC Comics' Lazarus Planet event, which officially ended with Lazarus Planet Omega, but will have further impact down the road, and I'll be keeping up with those aftershocks, as well! Other reads I talk about include, honestly, a handful of things I was underwhelmed by, but I promise that will change with the next podcast episode's comics section, as there is always more to look forward to! The final segment is TV/MOVIES 01:00:45! Starting off with some New and Noteworthy releases and watches, including Outer Banks and Make My Day. We have an amount of very interesting "announcements lite," 01:01:52 such as Steven Yeun's Thunderbolts villain role, the new Pretty-Boy-Hellboy, Something is Killing the Children's going to Netflix, and more, plus some minor rumors. There were two somewhat noteworthy trailers 01:07:04 put out last week, including Peter Pan and Wendy, and the Haunted Mansion, both of which get a mention. Anime News and Updates 01:08:53 is mostly my current watch-list and things that I'm enjoying this season. The main event is the shows! Beginning with a little bit on the surprising (to me) Mayfair Withes Finale 01:09:30 before getting into the excitement of Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1 01:11:35, titled Chapter 17: the Apostate. We get into easter eggs, references, the trilogy of trilogies (I'm talking about prequels, originals, and sequels), plus Book of Boba, and the Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows, because it's all involved here! We're getting peak Star Wars, and yes I know how that sounds! Reign it in, Anna. I just really love Star Wars. And this is getting sweatyyyyy. Aaaand then I Finally watched Quantumania 01:22:26, and I can't say I disagree with many of the naysayers. It was....not great. MCU Fatigue central, anyone? And BOY, Bill Murray does not sit well with me anymore, jeez. The whole thing was just a little.....it was a lot. Yeah. But not all bad! I had things I liked, to be fair, so that's all discussed.  Come back later this week for episode 90! Including the 18th Chapter of the Mandalorian, a new Manga of the week and tarot card lesson, comics news, and more! PLUS: a special look at Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's EMPRESS (2016)! All that and more! Keep it sweaty, folks.  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/jYxwnv5H  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

    In a complete 180 from last year's "Toxic Comics Romance" special, we now feature the undisputed BEST couple in comics, Barda and Scott Free: Big Barda and Mister Miracle.  Podnotes to follow along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/romance-yancy-st-spec-big-barda-and-mister-miracle-dc-comics-bardas-history-jack-kirbys-fourth-world-darkseid-is-more  Image Post for Barda: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/big-bardabarda-free-look-book-outfits-through-the-ages  Barda Reading Summary: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/big-bardabarda-free-appearances-reading-list  I have an intense love for Big Barda/Barda Free. She was the first comic character I ever began an appearance profile on, and one of the first I ever did extensive contextual research on. Therefore, for the first half of this podcast, we'll be focusing almost entirely on Barda herself, with explanations, stories from the comics, and other context given throughout the whole episode! ON BARDA: 0:03:06, starting with Barda Keys Comic Issues (not a ton!). Alternate Versions 0:11:24 Available Statues and Action Figures 0:20:55 Then we get more in-depth into the stories and history, starting with Barda's Creation (By Jack Kirby) 0:22:42 Her Abilities 0:25:27; Personality 0:29:56; Outfits and Appearance Through the years 00:36:47; Teams 0:44:25; and Relationships 0:49:38. On Cecil Castellucci's Female Furies, which I recommend to everyone: 1:06:01 Then at last, Couple History! 01:13:54 Starting with Jack Kirby's Fourth World; Scott and Barda's Origins; and life Post-Marriage.  Relationship Points of Interest 01:16:47, including the following factors, explained: their marriage breaks common  stereotypes; their open attraction to one another; Their Love; a Healthy Duality! and on being separate, together. That brings us into Modern History, with Tom King and Mitch Gerads' Mister Miracle 01:24:40 (2017-2019); and the failed Tom King/Ava Duvernay New Gods film project 1:28:56 (I cry). Finally, Where does that leave Barda and her Boo in 2023? 01:29:57 And let me know your take! And last, an explanation on Darkseid Is. 01:33:53.  SOURCES: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Barda https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Barda_(New_Earth) DC Comics https://thecomicvault.wordpress.com/2017/09/25/how-big-barda-breaks-the-stereotypes-of-marriage/ https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/big-barda-and-mister-miracle-have-a-loving-relationship-with-plenty-of-sex https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2018/03/big-barda-mister-miracle-comics-better-couple/ https://www.cbr.com/mister-miracle-big-barda-relationship/ https://comicsalliance.com/ask-chris-232-big-barda-and-mister-miracle-can-teach-us-a-lot-about-love/ https://www.sideshow.com/blog/the-unsung-heroes-spotlight-big-barda-from-dc-comics/ https://www.player.one/mister-miracle-3-big-barda-tom-king-dc-comics-120793 https://www.dc.com/blog/2018/03/16/mister-miracle-four-furies-and-a-baby https://www.cbr.com/new-gods-big-barda-explained/ https://dccomicsnews.com/2019/10/07/big-barda-the-new-god-of-superhero-self-care/ https://www.quora.com/What-does-Darkseid-is-mean https://www.reddit.com/r/DCcomics/comments/6t1g8n/what_does_darkseid_is_mean/ https://www.newsfromme.com/2012/01/23/the-lovely-ms-barda/ https://www.cosmicteams.com/newgods/profiles/mister-miracle-3.html The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/PT43re3h  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

    Follow along with the notes for this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep88-leiji-matsumoto-tribute-history-of-the-magician-the-iconic-boys-over-flowers-dc-flash-trailer-mcu-fatigue-jsa-more We start off this week with an Obituary (00:07:35) for late, great, and legendary manga creator Leiji Matsumoto. Fans and professionals alike from all kinds of art and storytelling communities had a lot to say about his man's important legacy. This had to be followed up by something lighter (0:18:44), so we have a fun live-size Gundam update! This week's Tarot Studies (00:21:73) covers the next card of the Major Arcana: #1, the Magician! This card has some interesting and surprising history, much of which is quite different than how we view it today. For the history page I discuss in this segment, go here: https://tarot-heritage.com/from-trionfi-to-majorarcana/from-il-bagatto-to-the-magician/ and be sure t come back next week for the lesson on #2, the High Priestess! Our Manga segment (00:36:47) contains the new Manga of the Week, for which I proudly present Boys Over Flowers, by Yoko Kamio! A highly formative story for myself personally, I was particularly excited to share Hana Yori Dango with the podcast listeners. Best selling shojo manga of all time, gang gang (does anyone get that reference?) The segment for Comic Books (00:50:38) starts with some brief May solicitation highlights for the "Big-Two," including what comes new that month, and some light (and frankly necessary) Marvel bashing. Don't miss the Month of March Comic Book Look-Ahead next week, where I'll be talking about what is new and/or exciting from ALL publishers this coming month! New Comic Books This Week (Feb. 21st-22nd, 00:54:08) are covered quickly, with a plethora of indie kick-offs! Recent Reads/Events (01:03:25) includes a fairly in-depth catch-up for the first two issues of Justice Society of America, which I find myself far more into than I expected!  Finally, for the TV/Movies segment (01:13:41), I go over what's new and noteworthy, including some notes on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the adjoining MCU Fatigue. It's mostly Deadpool 3 in News/Announcements (01:22:51), and the only trailer discussed (01:24:31) is the upcoming Flash movie from DC--which I'm sure everyone has thoughts about, so let me hear yours! Last is Anime News (01:29:58) and my own personal current list, again. What are you watching this season, and what are your personal hidden gem shows? That's all folks! Come back next week for more Tarot lessons, a new Manga of the Week, March comic book previews, and depending on the day I record, the first episode of Mandalorian season 3 reviewed!

    I'm particularly excited about this episode, because I'm taking my first real steps into the new segments I have planned, so please give any feedback you have!  Link to this episode's podcast notes to follow along (including referenced links): http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep87-tarots-0-fool-witch-watch-dark-web-goblin-queen-supreme-spider-man-noir-cunk-on-earth-purgatori-love-more Tarot Lessons this week 0:08:52 starts our deep dive into the 22 cards of the traditional Major Arcana, starting with this episode's #0, the Fool. I go through descriptions from official reference sources as well as meanings gathered in my own study notes, as well as other depiction and variation of the Fool, a tiny bit of history of the card, and of course, the Natasha Yglesias Anime Tarot archetypes, still an excellent and fun teaching tool! And to add some spice, I also go into some light pop culture references to the Fool card that can be found, too! Our Manga segment 0:29:42 focuses mostly on our new Manga of the Week: Witch Watch, by Kenta Shinohara! J'adore! And I hope you enjoy it, too. I have a little Manga News 0:38:57 that I'm still working on finding my footing for the weekly episodes, so bear with me as I settle on a design I like, and let  me know what you want more of. The Comic Books segment 0:44:26 features what's new in shops this week, with a few golden keys to be sure to grab. Previous weeks' Recent Reads and Event catch-up 0:53:47 features summary of Dark Web: Finale, Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1; Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, DC's Harley Quinn's Romances, DC Power: A Celebration, Purgatori Must Die! #2, and All Against All #1 & 2, which might be my favorite from the bunch. In TV/Movies 01:11:38, we talk New and Noteworthy (including the illustrious Cunk on Earth and the surprising Shrinking); in Announcements 01:15:46 there's the now-usual DCU nonsense, and the brand new announcement of Amazon's live-action Spider-Man Noir show project! For Anime 01:21:26, there's a bit of news on Demon Slayer season 3 before my own show updates, as I continue to search for a new hidden gem to take me by storm. As for Current Shows 01:25:54, I only have a few things to say on the Bad Batch season 2 so far, but that *REDACTED* was WILD and I want MORE Star Wars like THAT! That's all folks! Have a happy Valentine's/Lupercalia, however you choose to do so, and be sure to check back next week for a new episode covering Tarot's car #1, The Magician, a new Manga of the Week, more comic books, more news and theories, and a ton of fun for you and me both!

    Blessed Imbolc, friends! It felt appropriate, so I begin this week's episode with “The Way It Is,” by William Stafford, which was recently shared with me by a friend. I hope you enjoy it, too! Link to read along with this episode's Podcast Notes (including in-episode-referenced links): http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep86-the-dcu-lineup-tarot-history-my-dress-up-darling-february-comics-sins-of-sinister-explained-anime-watch-list-more The episode proper begins with News, including the obituary for Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams from the 1960's TV show. She led a unique life, and I hope her children and grandchildren find comfort in the successful legacy her portrayal of Wednesday left behind.  Next in News is some chat about Disney's Dreamlight Valley game, specifically the latest updates that were announced 0:15:37. I've been ridiculously hooked on this game, and am excited to see what content they put out this year! Also announced this week was the "Final Season" of Attack on Titan 0:21:24, which might feel like deja vu, and for good reason! all explained here.  Of course, I am going over the newly announced DCU Slate 0:24:35, too. How could I not? I have a good deal of insight on a number of these projects, and would LOVE to hear what others think of the announcements and limited details that were provided! Chat away in the discord, linked below! This week continues part two of our Tarot Studies 0:52:14, moving along this week with a fairly general History of Tarot, which covers a number of historical identities and moments in the cultural relevance of the decks. The Major Arcana is introduced 1:05:54, and then so is the Deck of the Month for February 1:10:08 : Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle (with an introduction by Vita Ayala). If you recognize those names, it's because they're both pretty heavily involved in the comic boo world, too! I love it when hobbies/interests collide.  In our Manga segment 1:14:22, this week's Manga of the Week is My Dress Up Darling by Shinichi Fukuda! I have a deep love of both the manga and anime; this was chosen because volume 7 of the English edition is arriving in stores the day I am posting this episode, and as of me writing this summary, I already finished reading it! Sad face, but also -- it was so goooood! We've officially passed where the anime has run to so far. There is even a little Manga News 01:20:59 at the end of the segment, with one or two updates and a little gushing over Witch Watch, my current ShonenJump app obsession!  For the Comic Books segment 01:22:41, I go over what is new and interesting (IMO) this week, as well as what to look forward to in comic releases over the rest of the month! In the previous week's Picks/Reads as well as catch-up reading coverage 01:27:30, I go over a brief explanation of Marvel's Sins of Sinister mini-event, update the latest for Lazarus Planet at DC, and have a few other fun ones to share! Finally, the Shows & Movies  segment 01:35:34 kicks off for 2023 with what has been New and Noteworthy since the last 2022 episode, and the list is quite varied! I have limited coverage of Trailers that have premiered since 2022 as well 01:42:25, because frankly it is a LOT, and we can talk more about those projects as they get closer to premiering. My new ANIME section 01:44:53 h as a lot to cover, including what I've been watching in my spare time, what I've currently got on my simulcast (sort of) watch list, even including things I'm still on the fence for. And last, I speak just a minute or two on Teen Titans season 4 01:49:21, and how part 1 ended.  And that's the week! Next week will feature a lot of the same, but updated, including our first Tarot Card Lesson proper, covering the first card in the Major Arcana, the Fool. More comics, more sweatiness, and more celebration of life, coming next week! in the meantime, check out my (very much in-progress) reading summary for Big Barda, co-star of the coming Valentine's Day romance podcast special!  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/mX48NRpS  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials  -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html  !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718    !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7    !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557    Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/    Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ     Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/    Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

Unfortunately it does also include an Obit section, mainly focusing on the late, great Kevin Conroy 0:16:54. A smattering of rumors go alongside some news proper 0:23:47, which is mainly focused, at this point, on the curious mess over there at Warner's DCEU. Lots of thoughts, not a lot of actual movement on their side.  Then we come into the Manga/Anime segment 0:32:26, with our manga of the week spotlight on CAT + GAMER by Wataru Nadatani.

New in This Week's Comics 1:02:24 isn't too long, but it's followed by the massive and much  needed Comic Book Catch-Up, covering my recent reads over this break. It starts with the end of Judgment Day and Dark Crisis 1:06:47, then gives an explanation of events-so-far for Dark Web and Lazarus Planet 1:17:59. ...on Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/justiceformadelynepryor-may-yancy-street-special-full-character-history-roles-true-origins-future-and-more https://open.spotify.com/episode/6aPZbsbyd2yvH26zVrpiJi?si=VT-EPzoURqSGw-3iGORnQg More fun reads I cover include 1:25:15 Harley Quinn, Hexware, Dark Knights of Steel, Grim, Earthdivers, and more, before m y extensive Vampirella vs Red Sonja #1-3 1:40:17 coverage. What can I say, I LOVE this one! 10/10, all Vampi/Sonja fans must read. Then we get back to the others at 1:47:34 for a quick reading wrap-up. Finally, and at long last, is my Wakanda Forever Review/Breakdown 1:56:40. This movie was a lot, for a lot of different reasons, and I very much enjoyed it. Easter eggs, background, and explanations given as needed.  I'll be back next week to cover the rest of the TV/Movies/Trailer/other visual media, since my voice is already killing me today! Two hours of recording will do that to you. Have a wonderful week, stay warm, and hope to see you next time!

    SATANA Hellstrom: The Devil's Daughter! + Satanic Panic, Seduction of the Innocent, the Comics Code, & FULL Character History!

    Welcome to the Halloween 2022 Yancy Street Special! Who is Marvel's Satana? How has she evolved over the years? Why is Chris Claremont to blame for her bastardization? These answers and so much more, coming your way! Text to go along with the podcast: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-hellstrom-the-devils-daughter-satanic-panic-seduction-of-the-innocent-the-comics-code-full-character-history  Image Post: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-the-devils-daughter-the-image-post  This podcast proudly contains far more information on Satana than any single one of her wiki or fan pages, so I'm pleased and excited to share it with the world.  On that note: some CW for sexual assault, violence against women, topics of heaven and hell, extreme personal loss, murder, attempted fratricide, sacrifice, satanic panic, classic horror tropes, general violence and lewdness, etc. The special starts with a little necessary Background, including Horrosploitation, Dr. Fredric Wertham's 1954 Seduction of the Innocent, and the implementation of the Comics Code Authority. We then continue the timeline into the eventual relaxation of the code in 1971, and the ensuing horror trends of the 1960's-80's.  With that context in mind, we can begin talking Satana, starting with her (admittedly few) Key Comics: 0:16:44 Her various Aliases and names she's been called through the years, plus when it happened: 0:19:45 The Hellstrom Extended Family, which spread across multiple species and still holds a fair amount of mystery: 0:20:47 Satana's complete Teams and Teammates: 0:27:17 Her Allies, specifically those who are not teammates: 0:31:12 Love Interests, of course, which is surprisingly minor: 32:27 And then her Enemies, I'm sure fewer than you might expect: 0:33:21 Satana's Outfits/Physical Appearance, which has vastly changed through the years, and my breakdown of those changes: 0:37:34 Her half-demon Succubus Powers: 0:40:50 Alternate Reality/Format Versions of Satana: 0:42:38 And finally, her whole life and comic History: 0:45:22, including but not limited to the following categories: Early life; Turn for the Better, Turn for the Worst; the Basilisk; Death for Doctor Strange; Resurrection; Occultist for Hire, Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers; Between Time; All-New, All-Different Hell (and more Vegas, Baby!); and finally, her most recent appearances in Captain Marvel.  I wrap up this special with a finale I worked to put all of what I've learned and discovered into account, which I'm calling, simply, Satana's Duality: 1:08:20. It is my desire that listeners who get this far might be inspired to also care about the character of Satana, and we can see more of her in the comics, properly, again.  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/kNq4VvA7  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

The Spotlight Manga for the week (0:52:48) is The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated, by Wakame Konbu, which is also my Halloween costume! There's only 3 volumes out in English so far, with the fourth coming later this month, so now is a great time to jump in! This week's comic picks (0:56:42) includes the finale of Marvel's Judgement Day, and the coming week's Pulls (1:06:51) are fill with indie starters! This fall is an amazing time to get into indie comics, specifically. There's something coming  for everyone! Finally, I go through the events of the Power of the Doctor (1:14:20) Doctor Who episode, Jodie Whittaker's final as the 13th doctor.

    After taking a brief break to settle in to my new schedule, I'm back with a loaded baked potato of an episode this week!

Plus some good Blade Director rumors, too! If you haven't heard it yet, Henry Cavill IS back in Black Adam (0:19:13), Harrison Ford IS the new Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (0:21:50), and Barbarella (0:29:01) has been cast as Sidney Sweeney!  Unfortunately, the live-action Zatanna (0:31:15) project was pushed off of HBO, but I feel like it's a good thing Marvel has a movie slow-down (34:39), pushing back a number of MCU films. Then there's Matt Reeves Batman (0:38:30) villains plans! Fianlly, my thoughts on the (FINALLY) Quantumania Trailer (0:40:56), and brief note of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (0:48:09), coming November 15th. This week's spotlight manga is none other than Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (49:48), by Coolkyousinnjya, creator of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying and Komori-san Can't Decline. This one is a manga AND anime, is full of girl love, and I can't recommend it enough! A handful of comics Picks (0:57:21) from the past few weeks prelude this week's comic Pulls (1:00:14), which includes an impressive amount of indie kick-offs! It's a great time to get into indie comics, for real.  I admit I have a less-than-pleased She-Hulk Finale review (1:04:44), but almost definitely for reasons you won't expect. If we get a season two, I hope the (new?) showrunners allow SOMETHING of the comics to have an influence on the plot or characters. Something. Anything.  But in greater news, the Rings of Power Finale 1:12:20 was even better than I was hoping! The Harfoots! Halbrand! The Stranger! The Witches? Galadriel! Celebrimbor! SAURON! This was such a satisfyingly watch, changes be-damned. I loved this, and I'm super excited for the next four seasons!

I talk cast and characters, comic origins, and the future of the MCU as we know it! There's also a brief "This Month (October) In Comics" (0:11:24), going over some highlights for various publishers across the coming month. The latest trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (0:17:03) had a good deal to unravel, but it's only making me more excited for November's movie! Then there's the announcement of Wolverine in Deadpool 3 (0:30:24), and what it might mean; Community's prophecy (0:33:06) of Six Seasons and a Movie; and Sony's announcement of their "modern" Tarzan (0:38:03). But wait, there's more! Netflix's live-action Avatar show casting announcements (0:39:03) bring an enormously exciting group of Asian stars to our screens, and finally, MCU news by way of Blade Movie Updates (0:45:50), and an update on the Armor Wars project.  Comic book Picks (0:49:25) from the week of September 28th are fairly brief, followed by this week's comic book Pulls (0:54:28) for the week of October 5th. I could never cover everything that comes out each week or month, so be sure to check out your local comic retailers to see what other suggestions they may have for you. The latest episode of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (Ep. 7 1:05:58), the Retreat, was definitely a step in the right direction, but two episodes out from the finale, still leaves me with a frustrating amount of questions. Not plot questions, mostly, just....why they made certain decisions, creatively. I'm curious ho these points are settling with other viewers.  Finally, saving potentially the most exciting for last, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power episode 6 (1:17:38) discussion is FULL of episode spoilers, theories, questions, and general happiness about this show! Two more episodes here, too, so check back for coverage as they come out! Be sure to listen to the September Yancy Street Special, out later this week, featuring DC Comics' Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz! I hope you learn to love her as much as I do.

You can check in here to hear my full arguments, but I'm frankly disappointed by what we've seen so far. On the other hand, Rings of Power Ep's 1-5 are also discussed, with much more excitement. There's no grand summary of events of each episode, it's more observations, Easter eggs, and noteworthy moments. Full disclosure: I'm LOVING this one.  Finally, I get around to talking the Harley Quinn season 3 finale (1:18:10), and what might be coming in season 4. Long Live Harley Quinn! On that note, check out the stories in her 30th Anniversary by Sejic, Garcia, and Dini! Top tier, IMO. I'll be back this coming week for more talk of comics, pop culture, and shows to discuss!

    The News on this episode kicks off with the delightful announcement of a "Photon" Monica Rambeau comic series (0:06:45), coming this December! That's followed by talk of the Umbrella Academy season four, and news on not one but two unrelated King Kong projects! I readdress the Batgirl movie situation (0:28:19) as we know it, along with some other DC film delays, and a little info on a meeting regarding the future of their Flashpoint movie. House of the Dragon episode 2 (0:36:24) is briefly discussed, and the News wraps up with some relevant and exciting highlights to look forward to in the month of September (0:39:43), including events, upcoming announcements, and new writers for the Avengers AND Fantastic Four series! Plus, be sure to check out the link below on November comics! Preorders are due in to your local comic shop by September 18th. Comic Book Picks (0:45:38) for the week of the 24th had a ton of great indie material to cover, plus another issue of Judgement Day, and wonderful Caitlin Yarsky interiors of Olympus: Rebirth! This week's Comic Book Pulls (0:53:28) coming out this last week of August are much lighter on the indie end, but have some very exciting DC ladies' Annuals, and the premier of the new Thunderbolts team! I go over She-Hulk ep. 2, titled Superhuman Law (0:58:09) in full, focusing more this week on comic references (who was Pug?) and Easter eggs, not to mention theories on where Jen is going to take the big case from here! Make sure to check out the She-Hulk Companion Special, as well, which features over two-and-a-half hours of absolutely everything you ever wondered about Marvel's Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk! Finally, I briefly go over Harley Quinn Ep. 7 (1:13:08), titled Another Sharkley Adventure. It was a particularly ridiculous episode, dare I say filler? But left me excited to see more, as usual.  Next week will bring episode 78, covering the news, the comics, al the usual goodies, but also pre-D23 Expo coverage, and the convention will be happening that weekend!  Link to this episode's Podcast Notes: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep77-she-hulk-episode-2-monica-rambeaus-big-december-multiple-king-kongs-batgirl-v-warnerdisc-september-look-ahead-more  November Big-Two Solicitation https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/november-marvel-and-dc-comics-solicitations  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/HuUH8t3s  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

The usual links to jump to specific sections of the podcast are in the description, but be advised that this has been put together with the intention of being listened to in full, front to back.  Starting off, we have the obvious questions of "Why are we doing this?/Why was she created?" (0:03:29), followed by information on her First Appearance and Key Comic Issues.  Jen's She-Hulk Series' and major features through the years (0:08:28) and One-shots! Her Characterization (0:24:45) Then versus Now, including the duality of She-Hulk, controversies surrounding John Byrne and (on a lesser scale) Dan Slott, and on a better note, the characterization of Jennifer Walters: Legal Eagle. Jen and She-Hulk's powers & abilities (0:42:49), which is followed by her roles and occupations. All of her different forms of physical appearance (0:48:28), then her costumes/fashion through the years, including in all of those different forms!  The illusive tie with Jen and the Immortal Hulks (0:56:19), followed by other aliases & nicknames, bases of operations, alternate realities' She-Hulk's, and then related characters. Jen's relationships (1:14:11), including family, friends and allies, love interests, and of course, her enemies. She-Hulk's (and Jen's) team affiliations (1:37:32) through the years... Jennifer Walters' FULL character history (1:45:27) and appearances as She-Hulk... A few more personal notes (2:04:09), including things I noticed while doing all this research, clip from an essay of sorts I wrote on Jen and Carol a few years back (which can be found here), and the question of why IS Jen's She-Hulk designed as so much smaller than Bruce's? Spoiler alert: there isn't really a firm answer to that one, whoops!  …and finally, some She-Hulk: Attorney At Law show predictions (2:11:58), including characters we might see, and my full rundown of the first episode (as taken from Yancy St. Ep. 76).

When life gives you lemons, make a podcast, just later than usual.  For this week's News, we talk Belle (which is on HBO Max), Paper Girls (on Amazon), and the Sandman (on Netflix), all of which a re new premiers in the past week or so! I found a cop; thread on Namor's MCU costume design on Twitter so we go over that goodness, then some brief DCEU project updates (which may change again soon for all we know), Marvel's Fantastic Four plans, the latest She-Hulk featurette, and the exciting new Andor trailer!  The past week's comic book Picks (34:13) start with my VERY mixed feelings for Strange #4, but then VERY positive for the #2's of Public Doman, the Variants, and Sins of the Black Flamingo, plus Christopher Priest's Vampirella: Year One #1. Subsequently, this week's comic book Pulls (47:05) feature a LOT of new things, which is super exciting, and a few ongoing classics. Again, these are just a cross section of weekly Wednesday releases, so check out your local comic shop to see what else comes out that I don't discuss! Finally, we end with the Harley Quinn season 3 Premier (59:11), covering the first three episodes: Harlivy, There's No Ivy in Team, and the 83rd Annual Villy Awards!

    So much to talk about this week after Comic Con San Diego! We'll cover it all in due time, but check the time stamps if you want to skip to anything in particular!  This week's non-Convention News (0:08:55) starts with the tragic passing of comics' Alan Grant, and has a few fun smaller points, but I think the bulk of the interest will be found with Marvel's new title trademarks (0:23:51) and what it all might mean! Also, there is no "The Mutants." The week's comic book Picks (0:28:58) for the 20th of July had Grim #3 and Seven Sons #2 as the picks of the week by far, with Artemis: Wanted #1 as a close third! And this brilliant era of indie comics continues with this week's Pulls (0:34:08), comics for this week, the 27th of July.  My extensive San Diego Comic Con 2022 rundown begins at 0:44:55, starting with comic book updates, because thy still do actually cover comics themselves at these big events, go figure! My most anticipated announcements are Tradd Moore's Doctor Strange and Johnathon Hickman's triumphant return to the Marvel cosmos! The various trailers from the event begin at 59:20 and start off with the DCEU, specifically Sandman (we're adding it in here at least), Black Adam, and Shazam: Fury of the Gods. The Marvel MCU starts at 1:05:22 with the I am Groot teaser trailer, before really knocking it out of the park with Wakanda Forever at 1:07:26. That one is followed by She-Hulk, and then we get into Star Trek, Animation, and all the rest! Still talking SDCC22, the new MCU Updates start with 1:59:03, including the rest of phase 4, the plan for phase 5, and the current agenda for phase 6, plus all the news and updates for projects near and far! The convention rundown ends 2:09:45 with Games, Toys, and the Rest of the News! Announced at the con, actually, I also have an Eisner's Recap! 2:13:09 the Eisner awards are the most prestigious awards in the comic book creation industry, and the winners are well worth crediting and celebrating. Congrats to all winner and nominees!  We wrap up this long week with highlights of the October Big-Two Solicits, 2:19:00 (link to full will go here). I'll be back next week for the first episode of August, 74! As She-Hulk gets closer along with all those other newly announced goodies, the news and updates are only going to get more exciting.

    It's another fantastic week for comic lovers and nerds! Con season has officially begun, which means we'll have some great news content going forward!  This week's News (0:05:10) starts off a little rough with Rob Zombie's the Munsters trailer, but gets some heat with the Red Band Harley Quinn the Animated Series HBO Max trailer, when I have to give due credit to Kaley Cuoco, Independent Woman. Then it's on to the new Rings of Power trailer (0:15:06), which as a lifelong Tolkien fan, I'm SUPER excited for, so I break down the trailer and coming show a bit. But I also have to mention the fact that a lot of other fans seem to really hate the whole idea of this show, which is honestly sad to see. Then (0:31:28) we wrap up news with a bit on Daniel Kaluuya's live action Barney project (yes, really...apparently), the first look at Iron Heart in Wakanda Forever, and some more... Sinister rumors, wink wink.  Comic book Picks from the week of the 13th (0:35:12) were quite up and down. My pick of the week is definitely Archaia's (through Boom! Studios) Flavor Girls #1, by Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky! Aaand I also had to mention the disappointment of the Hellfire Gala, 2022. How do you give the most R-rated group in the Marvel comics universe a boring "Met Gala?" Go figure.  This week's comic book Pulls (0:47:12) incude my brief wrapping up of Trial of the Amazons, and on the more positive side, excitement on Seven Sons #2, Grim #3, and SO many indie series' kicking! And of course, I go in-depth on the Ms Marvel Finale (1:01:25), titld NoNormal! I go over not just the episode, but Kamala's Big News, explore that end credits scene (and how I don't think ANY of us know!), talk theories on introducing more *spoilers* after this, what the series DIDN'T answer, Iman Appreciation, and: what comes next in the MCU, including theories and more! This week's regular episode ends with a San Diego Comic Con 2022 Preview (1:38:34), based on some MAYBE leaks on what's coming for the Marvel panel/s. It also includes a brief bit on what we MIGHT be learning at Disney's D23 Expo, this September. And that's it! Until next week, when we'll go over the regular material plus what actually IS revelealed at SDCC, make sure you drink an exuberant amount of water during this global heat-wave, and take care!

My picks of the week would be Astronaut Down #2 (Aftershock), Liam Sharp's Starhenge #1 (Image), and Poison Ivy #2 (DC); I continue to adore Pamela Isley, and refuse to see her as the bad guy. The two indies of that trio are wildly creative, and I honestly can't recommend them enough. We're in what I don't hesitate to call a Golden Era of Indie(ish) Comics! This week's Comic Book Pulls (0:36:04), in reverse, is absent of DC for my list, but includes some seriously heavy duty, amazing variant covers coming from Marvel--be sure to check out all the available covers of this week's New Mutants, A.X.E.: Eve of Judgment, X-Men: Hellfire Gala, Captain Marvel, and Immortal X-Men. Some of my favorite comic artists are included among those stunners, plus one truly awesome homage variant! And that's not even to mention the many incredible indie/creator owned comics premiering and continuing this week, as well. Remember what I just said about a Golden Age of Indies? Mhmm. Getting into other media, coverage of Ms Marvel (Disney+)episode 5 (0:49:07), titled Time and Again, includes theories about the finale, carefully hopeful expectations, and of course, all the comic book references from the penultimate episode.  Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 10 (0:58:43), titled A Quality of Mercy, was a fantastic finale for the show's first season, giving us time travel, life lessons, Original Series references, and a cocky young James Tiberius Kirk! I don't know when season 2 arrives, but I am SO ready! Finally, of course I'm including my Thor: Love and Thunder Spoiler Free Review (1:11:05) in this episode, but be warned, because it's quite short, and immediately followed by the Spoiler Review! I had a lot of fun making this one, because it includes comic book references, Norse mythology, Easter eggs, connections to the greater MCU, the music, the end credits scenes explained, and theorizing for the future of the characters! As promised, the Love and Thunder basic plot overview: https://www.ign.com/articles/thor-love-thunder-ending-explained-post-credits-scene The Collider article on the movie's music: https://collider.com/thor-love-and-thunder-guns-n-roses-influence/  Make sure you're back next week for coverage on the Ms Marvel finale, the new comic book picks and pulls for the week, a Hellfire Gala wrap-up for Marvel, pre-SDCC (July 21-24), and maybe even October's big-two comic book solicitation! Till then, stay hydrated, do some light stretches in the morning, and support your local comic shops!

    HELLCAT: The Patsy Walker Story! (June Yancy Street Special) History from Timely to Marvel, Character Insights, and MORE

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 5, 2022 119:25


    Welcome to the June Yancy Street Special: The Patsy Walker Hellcat Story! Why? Christopher Cantwell's Iron Man (2020) series has featured Patsy as a regular co-star, culminating in the two heroes starting a relationship, and Stark eventually proposing to Walker. Check out Iron Man #20 and Iron Man/Hellcat Annual #1 for how that turns out! Meanwhile, I can guarantee there's SOMETHING about comics in this podcast that will be new to you, so don't miss out! Patsy has been around since 1944, making her one of the oldest characters at Marvel Comics today, predating Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, and even the first Avengers team.  Of course, as she is another complex female comic book character, this patsy podcast comes with some serious warnings. Content Warnings: suicide, mental health, exploitation, narcissism, cheating, gaslighting, attempted sacrifice, etc. If you want to see the written list of KEYS 0:08:33, Recommended Reading, and Hellcat Aliases with their origins, check out the coinciding blog post on my site (no ads!), here. Also be sure to check out the Image Post that goes along with this episode, linked here. Patsy's Hellcat has been on a bunch of different teams through the decades, so that is covered at 0:16:09. An extensive look at Patsy's Friends and Allies 0:25:05, including family, features characters from her days under the Timely flag, as well as later in the main 616 universe, through to modern times. A short (ish) list of Patsy's Love Interests 0:50:30 and Enemies 0:56:23 follow, and you'll notice there is a LOT of crossover between those two lists.  Then it's on to her Powers 1:00:30, Costumes 1:03:48, and some fun Taglines and Quotes 1:14:08 from her vast comic history! Finally, I cover the Other Realities 1:16:41 Patsy appears in, including media like TV and Games.  At last, we reach Patsy's FULL HISTORY 1:23:02 including her Pre-Marvel 616 Comic History; Patsy coming to the main 616; Patsy as Hellcat, the Defender and Avenger; the changes of her life once she meets Daimon Hellstrom; and the modern history from Hellcat (2000) and on. I wrap this baby up with my final thoughts 1:51:15 on Patsy's tumultuous, extended history, summarizing all that she's come to represent and stand for, as further questions about her character that I'd like addressed in the future.  SOURCES Marvel Comics Marvel.Fandom.com wikipedia.com sensationalshegeek.weebly.com http://toonopedia.com/patsy.htm https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/PatsyWalkerAKAHellcat?from=ComicBook.Hellcat https://www.cbr.com/patsy-walker-timely-comics-archie-knockoff-debut/ https://screenrant.com/marvel-is-finally-taking-an-avengers-suicide-seriously/ https://gayleague.com/moondragon/ https://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=7487 https://www.cbr.com/at-least-your-mom-isnt-patsy-walkers-mom/ https://www.cbr.com/marvel-comics-millie-model-tessie-typist-nellie-nurse-dolly-dill/   The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/aVXYYY7M  -ALL ABOUT CLEA: https://tinyurl.com/52jxu7yj -HISTORY OF MAGIK: https://tinyurl.com/5n7cmkxj -NEW!

    Welcome to Summer! Don't go out and get hot in the sun, stay in and get sweaty with the Yancy Street Podcast! (was that too much?) ;)  This week does start with another tribute to another lost legend in the comics industry, Tim Sale (0:04:46). His legacy covers decades of comics and some of the eras' most significant material, to say the least. This tribute includes statements from his fellow creators, honoring his long-lived career.  As for the rest of the news (0:14:47), the general topics include Spy Kids, Madame Web, and Comic Con 2022! The previous week's comic book Picks (0:22:24) include Immortal X-Men #3 as Pick of the Week, plus a number of fun others! This week's comic book Pulls (0:29:58) have a bunch of #1's and one-shots, again; all a ton to look forward to reading! Starting the other media, I cover the Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale (38:52), or episode 6, by going through the various characters and where they all end up: Reva, the Twins, Vader V Kenobi, That Ending, and, of course, What Comes Next! Then it's on to Ms Marvel episode 3 (47:53), titled Destined. I cover the events of the episode including all the big reveals, how they connect to the comics, and what that might mean for not just the rest of the show, but the future the Marvels movie!  Finally, I do a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Catch-Up (1:03:08), covering episodes 6-8, titled Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach, The Serene Squall, and The Elysian Kingdom, respectively. All three episodes have something in common-- Classic Trek themes that made the show a success to begin with, and keep fans like me coming back! This being the last week of June, expect the June Yancy Street Podcast to come out whithin the next week: The Patsy Podcast! AKA the Patsy Walker/Hellcat Story! Unless you're Christopher Cantwell (her current, IMO excellent writer), there's probably something in it you didn't know about her character, because she's one of Marvel's oldest! In addition, I'll be posting about the September Marvel and DC comic book solicitations....which might end up being a blog post, in which case it will be linked here when posted: (future link!) Other than that, you'll find me next back with regular weekly episode 70 this coming Monday, July 4th! In the meantime, Hydrate, Hippies, and enjoy your nerdy passions as Summer starts to peak.

    I'm back! My health took a turn for a bit there (see the ending of the podcast for details, if you want), and I had to take some time off all forms of work. But for the sake of getting something out, I'm posting this one without a Kenobi or Strange New Worlds discussion--check back on Monday the 27th for that! Otherwise... News at 0:07:52 talking some basic updates and fun reminders, then touching on a whole bunch of announcements: the Black Adam trailer, the Thunderbolts movie, Doctor Who 60th, Joker 2 (ugh), Game of Thrones, Wonder Man, Venom 3, the Penguin, Hercules, new Avatar movies, and the future of the MCU!

Then, at last, we have the first two episodes of Ms Marvel! Episode One at 1:18:28 and two at 1:31:00. Episode 3 will be covered, like Kenobi, on episode 69.

    Welcome to the May Yancy Street Special, Justice for Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen! Maddie has a tumultuous comic history, one that takes a degree of research to fully understand, so I've done the work for you! Here you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about Madelyne Pryor, tip to toe, from Claremont-era X-Men to Vita Ayala's current New Mutants arc. There's good reason Maddie has become a bit of a fan favorite, and I hope after this, you'll agree!  Please note the content warning at the beginning of the episode for biological engineering, brainwashing, emotional and physical torture, abandonment, murder and suicide, psychological damage and extreme trauma, removal of personhood, infanticide, cheating and betrayal, etc.  Key Comics 0:07:42, covering all the noteworthy issues marking integral moments in her history.  Aliases 0:10:51, every name Madelyne is called through her comic history, and from which issues.  Team and Roles 0:13:18, going over Maddie's involvement as a Pilot/Mechanic, X-Men, Berserker, and more! Alternate Versions 0:22:01, briefly summarizing 5 different realities' versions of Maddie, plus one extra 616-version.  Outfit Redesigns 0:27:32,  focusing on two canon redesigns and 2 unofficial fan designs by professional artists. I also forgot to note a few things about Maddie's Goblin Queen outfit in this section, namely that anyone who's worn a "similar" top will understand it actually sits rather snug and comfortably. Additionally, the costume originated when Madelyne first became her "evil" version of herself, when her goal was the mental torture of her ex-husband, Scott. Her sultry look goes along with that intention just as much as the seduction of his younger brother, Alex.  Relationships 0:32:01, talking Madelyne's interactions and time with Kate (Kitty) Pryde, Jean Grey, Scott and Alex Summers, the other X-Men, Mister Sinister, and others.  Full Character Chronology 0:46:10, going over her entire comic book history, with insights, explanations, and everything else you can think of! The Modern History 1:05:39, covering anything that's happened to Maddie since Inferno (1989). Her TRUE Origin1:08:12, explaining the creators' original intention behind Madelyne, and how her story became so twisted away from those intentions by the end.  My personal head-canon of who she is and how to handle her 1:12:24, because it shouldn't be so hard to get a satisfying plot surrounding her out!  And finally, the current New Mutants Arc 1:15:05, starting with the recent release of issue #25, and discussing what might be coming in subsequent issues, based on what information we have.  I hope you feel this special has done Madelyne Pryor justice, for what little I can offer. We an only hope those with the power to make positive change and deserved recognition in her story, do so, and do so well.  Next Podcast Upload: Episode 66, Monday June 6th! Ooooh, 666 >:) And speaking of 666, don't miss the upcoming JUNE Yancy Street Special, all about Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat! One of the oldest characters at Marvel Comics, period.

    Good afternoon! This week we are an Egyptian History podcast, at least for a moment! This week's NEWS 0:08:04 starts with a few minor points before breaking into the rest, starting with release updates for Across the Spider-Verse 0:10:22 parts 1 and 2. There are also some release changes on the horizon for the Batgirl movie 0:13:21. It's become time to finally address the Disney vs Florida situation 0:18:05, and let me be clear, I am NOT in agreement with the government of Florida in any way. Then we have, on a lighter note, a rumored Elsa Bloodstone casting 0:27:26 for Werewolf y Night, Love and Thunder Casting Rumors 0:30:21 regarding Angela, Thor's half-sister with a complicated comic boo history, and the alleged Illuminati Lineup for Multiverse of Madness 0:41:11, in theaters next week! While only a few, this week's comic PICKS 0:56:16 are mostly all bangers. The adjoining PULLS 1:03:14 for this week have a TON to look forward to! While discussing MOON KNIGHT ep.4 1:10:44, we temporarily transition the podcast to being an Egyptian History podcast, because I can't help myself, and they got a LOT wrong in that episode, to be honest. But there's always the fun comic references and theories, too! Then it's YOUNG JUSTICE s4 1:31:19 episode 19, where we are starting to see the light at the end of the complex tunnel. Marvel  COMICS July Solicits 1:36:08 are quite long this month, and DC Comics JULY Solicitations 1:49:22 are a bit shorter, but full of some great material to look forward to.    And that's that! Definitely be sure to check out the Yancy Street Specials, as the May Special will be all about Patsy Walker! And keep an eye out later this week for a SURPRISE special, regarding Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen! Stay hydrated, keep it sweaty, see you next week!

    Hey there, listeners! Another week, another weekly episode! This one covers so much, so stick around! Our NEWS segment (0:08:24) starts with a few shorter bits of updates (Don't miss the Illyana podcast or the Batman on HBO Max!), before digging deep into Multiverse of Madness speculation (0:12:26) based off of a comic book wrap gift, Trans Representation in DC media (0:18:18), the Future of DC Entertainment (0:24:50), highs and lows of the Wonder Twins casting (0:28:18), Constantine by JJ Abrams Updates and Rumors (0:32:21), the official White Knight Red Hood Announcement (0:37:37), and of course, a full breakdown of the Thor: Love and Thunder Teaser (0:43:15)! The weekly comic book PICKS (1:02:02) feature the penultimate Batman/Catwoman issue, Immortal Red Sonja #1 (fantastic!), and a few other fun things. This week's comic book PULLS (1:11:21) come with a short preface on open-mindedness, which I hope is understood.  The discussion of MOON KNIGHT episode 3 (1:20:30) goes through the events of the show, the comic book references and Easter eggs, and theories about where we're going next. And, of course, an explanation on who that third persona likely is! We end with YOUNG JUSTICE Season 4 episode 18 (1:32:07) where things are getting Zoddy, and Doctor Who: Legend of the Sea Devils Spring Special (1:35:25), where I talk the history of the Sea Devils in Who, as well as the real life history of Madame Ching: Pirate Queen!  I'll be back with a new weekly episode next Monday (or Tuesday) talking comic books, news, speculation, Moon Knight, Young Justice, and DC and Marvel July comic book solicitations!
